limitation of 20 simultaneous FTP clients at any site. See Using On Demand Playback on
page 13 for more about progressive download.
T To create a file for progressive download:
1. Open IWS and go to the Configuration: Encoder > Archiver page.
2. In the
Archive File Name
field, enter a valid file name preceded by public as shown in
the following example. (The public folder is automatically created and all .wmv files in
this folder are recognized as on demand files that can be viewed via progressive
download.)
public/filename.wmv
3. Click
Start Archiver
to create the file.
4. Click
Stop Archiver
when done.
T To view a file via progressive download:
1. Open a browser and view an archived .wmv file via anonymous FTP by double-clicking
on a valid link that has the FTP URL in the following format:
ftp://<VBrickIPAddress>/filename.wmv
2. Alternately, you can open a browser, type the FTP URL in the follow format, and select
any .wmv file in the folder.:
ftp://<VBrickIPAddress>
Configuration: Encoder > Push
The WM Appliance supports up to 25 push destinations per slot (for a total of up to 50 push
destinations in a dual encoder or encoder/reflector model) with independent configuration
parameters and enable/disable control for each push destination. All push destinations
receive the same stream. Resources are shared between pull clients and push destinations so
the configured maximum number of pull clients and the configured maximum number of
push destinations cannot exceed 202. The actual number of pushes that can run at the same
time depends on the configured bit rates. The
Maximum Push Destinations
field determines
how many lines (1–25) are shown on the page. The default is one line for one push
destination.
HTTP Push - Slot1
HTTP Push lets a VBrick encoder connect to a VBrick Reflector, a Windows Media Server,
or Real Helix Universal Server that will receive an encoded stream from the VBrick.
Depending on the security settings on the server, a Publishing Point on the server (with
specific security settings) may need to be configured before the VBrick can successfully push
the stream. The VBrick continues to push to the server even after encountering an error
Note For best results and to avoid impacting performance, do not exceed a maximum of 20
simultaneous progressive downloads regardless of data rate. Also, if higher data rate
files are accessed via progressive download, the maximum total data rate of these files
should not exceed 20 MBits/sec. This means, for example, that up to 20 users can
access a 500 KBits/sec file; up to 5 users can access a 4 MBits/sec file.
Note When an v1.x WM appliance is updated to a current WM release that supports
multiple push destinations, the first row on this page is populated with the previously
configured push destination.
