Sun MediaCenter Server Utilities

filename

The name of a file in the form specified by a local filesystem, such as UFS or NFS.
The filename might specify an MPEG file or, for a content package, a tar file.

hostname:filename

The IP hostname of a machine on which filename is stored, plus the filename.

You must supply an argument for source. Unless you use the

-m

option (for tar file

input), you must also supply an argument for destination. If you are copying a title
from a remote to a local machine, and not renaming the title, you can simply specify
the name of the title as the destination.

smc_copy

has the following options:

-f

{

MPEGTS

|

MPEG1SYS

}

Indicates format of stream to be loaded onto Sun MediaCenter server (MPEG
Transport Stream or MPEG-1 System Stream). There is no default for this option.
By omitting this option, you implicitly request that the server software auto-
detect the title's format. (Sun MediaCenter servers of version number 2.1 and later
support format auto-detection.)

-i

Indicates input is from a Unix filesystem.

-m

Indicates input is a tar file. Used for loading a content package.

-o

Indicates output is to a Unix filesystem.

-p

Preserve the creation time in the destination file. Otherwise, the creation time
becomes the current time for the newly copied file.

-r rate

Indicates the encoding bit rate for a title. There is no default for this option.

-s speed

For titles that contain trick play streams. speed is

1000

for a normal-play, forward-

direction stream. The speed value for a stream of four times normal speed is

4000

. Reverse direction is indicated by a minus sign, so that a stream of seven

times normal speed, in the reverse direction has a speed value of

-7000

. The

default speed value is

1000

.
