Adding & editing Media server configurations
Site managers can add new Media server configurations and update existing ones:
To edit a Media server, go to Management settings > Media servers and click Edit for the
appropriate entry. Then update the fields as required using the table in the appropriate section
below and click Save.
Note: If you have existing conferences that use a Media server configuration and you edit that
Media server configuration, the streaming URLs for the outputs viewable in the Content Server
web interface may also be updated. For example, if the server address of an external streaming
server has changed, update the address in the Media server configuration; then conferences
that use that Media server configuration will still be playable.
To create a new Media server configuration either:
o Go to Management settings > Media servers and click the appropriate link for the type of
server that you want to add. Then complete the fields using the table in the appropriate
section below and click Save.
o Go to Management settings > Media servers, click Edit for the Media server
configuration that is to be the basis of the new one. Then update the fields as required
using the table in the appropriate section below and click Save as.
See the appropriate section for the type of Media server configuration that you are updating or adding:
Windows Media Streaming Server
QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server
Wowza Media Server for Flash
Real Media Streaming Server
Podcast Producer Server
iTunes U Server
Media server configuration: Windows Media Streaming Server
Only Windows Media Streaming Servers are supported for streaming Windows Media content. Saving
the Media server configuration checks that the server is available at the specified server address and
displays the server type if the information is available.
You can set up a Media server configuration for a Windows Media Streaming Server to do live and/or
on demand streaming. Live streams can be sent to the Windows Media player using either a unicast
or a multicast connection. Note that unicast streaming can be configured for either the local or an
external Windows Media Streaming Server, but multicast streaming can only be configured with the
local Windows Media Streaming Server.
Note: Before you start delivering your live content as a multicast stream, check with your network
administrator that the network is multicast enabled.
