Overview
EtherneTV users have the option of purchasing pre-packaged content from VBrick. If
content was included on your original order, this purchased content is installed on your VOD
servers prior to shipment. If content was not included with your original order, you will need
to install this content on your VOD servers as explained here. This procedure is highly technical
and should be performed by a knowledgeable system administrator with suitable IT experience. Note
that VBrick does not support the ingestion of third-party content not purchased directly
from VBrick.
The content package you purchased is shipped on a LaCie USB drive. If you open the USB
drive in Windows Explorer, you will see that each content package is named by part number
and text description. Each package has a corresponding Excel metadata spreadsheet
describing the content in the package and a license file that contains content expiration data.
The spreadsheet and license are used during the ingestion procedure. The Excel metadata
spreadsheet for the package is inside the package folder with a name like
8000-0120 Clearvue
HS MPEG Gold 7-17-08.xls . You must copy this spreadsheet to your local C: drive. The license
file has a name like content_34294950443.lic . You must install the license using the Windows
Add or Remove Programs
utility. The Mass Ingestion Utility is installed with the Portal Server
and is located in C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\bin\MassIngestionUtils.exe
Configuring IIS
The following procedures explain how to ingest content to your VOD-W and/or VOD-WM
servers. First you need to configure certain settings in IIS.
T To configure IIS for mass ingestion:
1. Shutdown the Portal Server and attach the appropriate LaCie drive to a USB port.
a. Restart the server.
b. Copy
MassIngestionUtils.exe and MassIngestionUtils.exe.config from the \Utilities
directory on the LaCie drive to C:\Program Files\VBrick\MCS\bin\ directory.
c. Copy xlviewer.exe from the \Utilities directory on the LaCie drive to the desktop.
Then double click on xlviewer.exe to install Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003.
Note Content Ingestion to an SSL-enabled VOD-W is not supported. To ingest content to
an SSL-enabled VOD-W, first disable SSL and run the ingestion; then re-enable SSL
when done. See Configuring for SSL on page 105 for more information.
