Add VOD Content
Administrators can manually enter URLs to VOD content that is not automatically displayed
by the Portal Server. These URLs can be to content that is located on a non-NXG Video-on-
Demand server, such as the QuickTime/Darwin server, a Windows Media server, or a Helix
Real server. This is valuable feature if you want to enter an off-network stream such as an
MPEG-4 Stream from an Apple Darwin Server or if there is Windows Media or Real
Networks content that needs to be displayed through the Portal Server interface.
Press
Add to add the VOD content to the list. VOD content also can be Modified or Deleted.
Simply select the VOD content, make modifications (if required), and click
Modify or Delete.

rtsp://ipaddress/programname
mms://ipaddress/videoname.wmv
Type Choose MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-4 NXG, Document,
