Server Type • NXG – Linux-based Kasenna VOD server.
• VOD-W – Windows-based InfoValue VOD server.
• VOD-D – Darwin Open Source server for Linux, Windows,
Mac, etc. Ingests and plays MPEG4 content only. Requires an
FTP server. See Creating a VOD-D FTP Server on page 38.
• VOD-WM-Standard – Microsoft Windows Media Server
(unicast only). Requires an FTP server. See Creating a VOD-
WM FTP Server on page 38.
• VOD-WM-Enterprise – Microsoft Windows Media Server
(unicast or multicast). Requires an FTP server. See Creating a
VOD-WM FTP Server on page 38.
• FTP – Use FTP only if you want to copy from the Recorder
server to another FTP server in which case it records to
ftp:\root
.
• File-Server – Any Windows computer with an FTP server
running can be configured as a progressive download file server.
See Add File Server on page 39.
FTP Password The FTP password the Portal Server uses when publishing content
to the server. The default FTP password for NXG, VOD-D,
VOD-WM, and FTP servers is
vbrickuser . The default FTP
password for VOD-W servers is anonymous . If the FTP Password
is changed on the server, it must be changed here as well. Use any
combination of alphanumeric and special characters.
Publishing Local Path Maps the Publishing Directory to the physical location on the
VOD server.
Publishing Directory Used for Add Video, FTP, or Record. The logical path to a folder
under
FTP
root. This is the staging area on the VOD server from
which files are ingested to the destination folder.
Streaming Alias (IP or
Domain) Some content hosts (PowerStream, Akamai, etc.) use one host
name for FTPing and indexing content, and another host name for
streaming content. If necessary, use this field to identify the host
name alias for streaming content. Be aware that if you specify a
Streaming Alias here, it overrides all other addresses (LAN and
Internet) that have been defined for streaming content. In other words,
one alias is used for all streaming for all users.
HTTP Tunneling Port VOD-W, VOD-WM and VOD-D servers can stream to clients via
the HTTP protocol. By default this uses port 80. If another process
on the server (for example a web server) is also using the HTTP
protocol, there will be a conflict on this port. This setting lets you
select a different port (1–65535 with limitations) to be used when
streaming via HTTP. This setting must correspond with the port
setting on the server. See "Assign LAN/Internet Address Range >
Always use TCP protocol for MPEG-4 content" in Global
Assignments on page 21.
Secondary Server
Address A VOD server can have two addresses: one for Internet users and
one for LAN users (see also
IP or Domain
name above). This is the
secondary server address for Internet users. It is the IP address or
domain name of a second NIC or a NAT.
