Figure 9. Content Location for FTP Playback
Using Secure Playback
If you select Secure Playback for Playback Protocol, the file is progressively downloaded and
encrypted. In order to use secure playback, the file server must be configured for SSL with a
digital X.509 certificate from a trusted certificate authority. Secure download is only valid for
HTTPS. By default, HTTPS is played back over Port 443. Note that Portal Server users
cannot create thumbnails when
Playback Protocol is set to Secure Playback.
Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders
Add/Modify Video On Demand Content Folders can be used to organize content on a specific
Video-on-Demand server. The Portal Server periodically polls certain folders for presence of
content and if found ingests the content onto multiple VOD servers. Any files FTPed into a
particular folder in the Autoingest folder will automatically be ingested into the
corresponding folder on the VOD server(s). You must add these folders using the window
shown below. (See Auto Content Ingestion
on page 139 for more about autoingestion.)
Existing folder structures on a VOD server will be mirrored in the Portal Server. However
you will still need to associate those folders with other server(s) if the file is to be
autoingested onto multiple servers.
Note A file server using secure playback can be configured with an IP address or a host
name. If the server certificate is issued for an IP address, you must use the IP address;
if issued for a host name, you must use the host name. Otherwise, the video will not
play and a message will indicate the security certificate was issued for a different
website.
