Modify VOD Content
Video on Demand Servers only. Administrators and authorized users can modify and delete
content located on their video on-demand servers. (Note that you cannot delete or modify
any content files that are currently in use.) Administrators can find or filter the displayed
assets by clicking on
All
,
Keyword
,
Title
, or
Expiration Date
. You can also use this window to
set
Expiration
, define the maximum number of concurrent viewers, and update expiration
dates for purchased content. Also, be aware that a user with publishing permissions can
delete content by clicking the
Info
hyperlink and then
Delete Video
. To disable this user
option, disable the user's content publishing permissions (see Allow Content Publishing on
page 98).
Purchased Content Expiration
Purchased content is protected against theft, piracy, or copyright violation by means of an
expiration date or viewing period. Each piece of content has an optional expiration date in
the database. If the current date is later than this expiration date, the content cannot be
viewed by a Portal Server user. When new content is added (for example using Add Video or
autoingest), administrators can optionally enter an
Expiration Date
or
Viewing Period
and can
limit the number of concurrent viewers. This data can be modified at anytime. The Expired
Content Log shows all expired content on your system in chronological order with the oldest
expiration date first. See Copyright Protection on page 3 for more information.
If third-party content is purchased from VBrick, however, the
Expiration Date
or
Viewing
Period
are automatically populated with read-only data that cannot be changed without
updating the license. (
Content Provider
and
Content Group
are only populated when you
select purchased content.) If you purchased third-party content from VBrick, this content
was installed on your VOD server(s) prior to shipment. If you purchased content later, this
content can be mass-ingested into the Portal Server using a provided utility. See Purchased
Content Ingestion on page 157 for more information.
Note The message "Program Unavailable" in the Channel Guide means there is no
programming data associated with the stream. It does not mean the stream itself is
unavailable. You can still click on the stream to launch it in the preview window.
