Site Codec Support

Administrator Settings > Site Settings

Default Site Codec Support Settings:

Windows Media

- enabled by default

for live and on demand streaming

Real Media

- enabled by default for

on demand streaming. An external
streaming server is required for live
streaming

QuickTime

– disabled by default.

You should only enable QuickTime
after manually installing the
recommended version of QuickTime
on the Content Server (see the
section on QuickTime installation
for more details). On demand
streaming will then be available, but
an external streaming server will be
required for live streaming.

Administrators can disable or enable
individual codecs to suit their
installation requirements. Disabling
codec support sitewide in this menu will
affect template selections in Recording
Aliases. For example, if the Real Media
codec is disabled, users will not be
able to select any templates for their
Recording Alias which use only this
codec for recording. If disabling Site
Codecs, it is advisable that Recording
Aliases are checked and templates
changed accordingly.

If the Enable stream redirect
option is selected, the standard
Windows Media stream URL

will be wrapped in an asx file and then
passed as the new media path URL.
This option is only recommended when
using the Content Server in combination
with a CDN solution that supports asx
file rewriting.
