Custom Fields

Custom fields are used to add additional fields to the Info pages associated with stored
videos and live broadcast streams. All stored videos, and those live streams that have been
"customized," have an

Info

hyperlink. By default, the Info page has fields for

Description

and

Keywords

. The Custom Fields functionality lets you add additional "custom" fields that

are appropriate to your business or application. This lets you provide more information on
the page and it also makes it easier to search for specific streams. (All defined fields are listed
in the dropdown list box next to the

Search

button.)

When you add a custom field using this function, the field is available to administrators as a
selection in the

Customize Streams

window. It is also available to end users as the

Modify

Info

button on the Info pages associated with stored videos (if they have content publishing

permissions).

To create a Custom Field:

1. Go to

Global Settings > Custom Fields

Set Cisco ACNS Manifest
Options

Check the box to enable generation of a Cisco ACNS
Manifest File. (The Cisco ACNS server must be configured
to point to this file.) Select the files (MPEG-4 and/or WM)
to include in the file, and specify a Manifest Generation
Interval (default = 10 minutes) that defines how often the
file will be regenerated. Click Generate Now to create an "on
demand" file. ACNS copies all MPEG-2 and WM video files
to all (Windows Media, Darwin, and VOD-W) servers in your
EtherneTV system. Additional configuration steps are
required on the VOD-W server only. See ACNS
Configuration on page 123 for mo
re about ACNS.
