Recording Live Streams
If you have permission, you can record any live channels being played in the preview window.
(You cannot record or copy stored videos in the Media Library.) The live channel gets
recorded and auto-ingested, usually into an assigned folder on the VOD server. The default
recording length is defined by an administrator but you can stop recording at any time. See the
"Player Controls" described above for a description of all the controls.
T To record a stream:
1. Launch a live channel.
2. Press the red "record" button under the preview window. A message will note that a
recording is in progress.
3. To stop the recording press the "record" button again. A message will note the recording
is complete and the file will be available shortly.
4. If necessary, go to the
Status page to view (or cancel) any "record" or auto-ingestion
currently in progress. See Status on page 67 for more about this page.
Customizing Live Streams
End users cannot customize live streams. Live streams can only be customized by administrators
as explained in the Portal Server Admin Guide. Administrators can customize live streams by
changing the name, channel number, and adding keyword tags, custom fields, etc. Live
streams are broadcast by VBrick appliances and auto-discovered by the Portal Server. They
can only be added or removed using the VBrick appliance's management application
(IWS)—not the Portal Server's Admin Console.
