ETV Portal Server Admin Guide 25
Custom Fields
Custom fields are used to add additional fields to the Info pages associated with stored
videos and live broadcast streams. All stored videos, and those live streams that have been
"customized," have an Info hyperlink. By default, the Info page has fields for Description and
Keywords. The Custom Fields functionality lets you add additional "custom" fields that are
appropriate to your business or application. This lets you provide more information on the
page and it also makes it easier to search for specific streams. (All defined fields are listed in
the dropdown list box next to the
Search button.)
When you add a custom field using this function, the field is available to administrators as a
selection in the
Customize Streams window. It is also available to end users as the Modify Info
button on the Info pages associated with stored videos (if they have content publishing
permissions).
T To create a Custom Field:
1. Go to
Global Settings > Custom Fields.
External Player Mode Windows only. Determines whether or not multiple streams
can be displayed by launching external player windows.
Default = Single. You can launch multiple windows but you
can only record one stream at a time.
Client Multiple Monitor
Setup
The Portal Server supports dual client monitors. However, if
you experience problems when using a second monitor,
disable the DirectX component VMR9.
Set Cisco ACNS Manifest
Options
Check the box to enable generation of a Cisco ACNS Manifest
File. (The Cisco ACNS server must be configured to point to
this file.) Select the files (MPEG-4 and/or WM) to include in
the file, and specify a Manifest Generation Interval (default =
10 minutes) that defines how often the file will be
regenerated. Click Generate Now to create an "on demand"
file. ACNS copies all MPEG-2 and WM video files to all
(Windows Media, Darwin, and VOD-W) servers in your
EtherneTV system. Additional configuration steps are
required on the VOD-W server only. See ACNS
Configuration on page 133 for more about ACNS.
