-t type

Indicates the type of the file, either

data

or

index

. A data file is an MPEG file.

An index file is a file containing splice points for switching back and forth among
trick play streams.

When copying a title to or from a Sun MediaCenter server, you must have
appropriate permissions in the ACL portion of the copied title. (See Section 5.1
“Setting a Title Access Control List” on page 5-1 for an explanation of title ACLs.) In
the course of completing the copy operation,

smc_copy

creates a new title on the

destination Sun MediaCenter server. You can rename the destination title in an

smc_copy

command.

To load content onto a Sun MediaCenter server, you must have permission, as
specified in the

ServerAcl

file. This file is described in Chapter 9 “Access Control

Lists.”

When you copy a title to or load content onto a Sun MediaCenter server, you, the
copier, own the title access control list for that file. Other users can play the title, but
cannot copy it to another server or remove it. To extend access to the newly-copied
file, use

smc_settacl

, as described in Section 5.1, “Setting a Title Access Control

List.”

The following are examples of

smc_copy

use.

The following example copies the title

heidi

from the Sun MediaCenter server

server2

to the local Sun MediaCenter server,

server1

, renaming the title to

heidi_orphan

, in the process:

The following command accomplishes the same function as the preceding:

The following command loads content from a local Unix filesystem on the Solaris
(UFS) machine

to the remote Sun MediaCenter server

server1

, renaming the

title in the process:

In the preceding command, note that the

(format) option is omitted, meaning the

format is auto-detected. Speed (

-s

1000

and type (

-t

) defaults to

data

.
