7-16 XMS Configuration Guide
MOS Server configuration and monitoring
Server does not attempt to fetch it from the remote Xmedia Server. When an item has been
MOS redirected inside of ENPS, Xplay displays the M
OS R EDIRECTION I N P ROGRESS
message in the playlist’s Status column and the Xmedia Server begins to receive items
from the remote server.
When all of the items have been received, the Xmedia Server requests that ENPS replace
the mos id, ncs id and objPath of the item with the local Xmedia Server values. Once
the NCS confirms that it has replaced these values, the MOS redirection is considered
complete and the element will be validated like any other playlist element and the resulting
status indicated.
Limitations when using MOS Redirection with Xmedia Servers
The following topics identify and discuss current limitations that users should be aware of
before attempting to use MOS Redirection with Xmedia Servers:
•
“Placeholders are not permitted” on page 7-16
• “Category and/or asset conflicts are not resolved” on page 7-16
• “System templates are required for clip playout” on page 7-17
• “No attempts to repair damaged media” on page 7-17
Placeholders are not permitted
Items with placeholders cannot be MOS redirected by the Xmedia Server. An attempt to
MOS redirect an item with placeholders inside ENPS causes the item’s Status in the playlist
(Xplay) to display “C
AN ’ T MOS R EDIRECT D UE TO P LACEHOLDERS ” and the media is not
copied from the remote server. However, once the job is completed and the item contains
no placeholders, the item may be MOS redirected.
Category and/or asset conflicts are not resolved
In the Xmedia Server, a category conflict is when two categories have the same name but
different internal ids. For example, if the category “Headshots” was manually created on
Xmedia Server 1 and also manually created on Xmedia Server 2, the categories will have
the same name but different internal ids.
