Note: The Video Portal Configuration section is available only if the Video Portal feature has been enabled on your server.
Video Portal Configuration requires admin-level privileges. The video portal feature allows automatic creation of a searchable web video-on-demand front end. You choose files to post on the portal for your community to browse and view on-demand across the web. The automatically generated video portal may be framed within the context of your own website.
The following fields are editable.
- Video Host Root URL – If you are serving the web video files directly from the download directory of your TelVue® server, leave this field blank. In this case the download root URL will be http://<ip_of_archive_server>:80/media/psg/vol1/download. If you are using a remote server or streaming media service provider, enter the host root URL in this field. The media links in the video portal will be constructed as the Root URL plus the filename.
- Default Video File Extension – Enter the default file extension for your web video files. If you leave this field blank, the file extension will default to _vodcast.mp4 which is the extension used when your TelVue server automatically creates mp4 files with the Vodcast feature. When generating the video portal, the media links will include the root URL plus the filename, and the filename is constructed as the source media filename plus the default file extension. Your web video files must follow this naming convention for the video portal media links to be correct.
- Include Vodcasts – With this option selected, all Vodcast files will be automatically added to the video portal.
