Playing Live Streams
The
Live Media
page lets you view live streams, TV stations, and rich media presentations
available on the network. The list of available streams is determined by the VBrick appliances
or other encoders in your network. The administrator can assign a channel number, an icon,
and other data to a live video stream. The channel appears as a number in a column to the left
of each live stream. To launch a live broadcast or a presentation, simply click on any live
channel and it will launch in the "preview window" on the right. The preview window has
standard video controls. For example, click
Full Screen
to go to full screen; press Esc on the
keyboard to return to preview. If you receive a message indicating the broadcast exceeds the
maximum number of concurrent viewers, contact a system administrator. The
Live Media
page may include some or all of the following items:
• VBrick appliance live streams
• Manually-entered live stream URLs
• Active scheduled stored broadcasts
• Rich media presentations
