How metadata is displayed depends largely on the media player. For example VLC, stores the metadata in a
media information file, while other media players scroll the text horizontally from right to left across the bottom of
the media player window.
Use only alphanumeric and diacritic characters in metadata descriptions. The whole metadata string
is refused if any special currency or mathematical symbol appears in the description. You must
remove the offending characters before Pearl Mini will accept the description.
Add or remove channel meta data using the Admin panel
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin, see Connect to the Admin panel .
2. From the Channel(s) menu, select the channel and click Metadata. The Metadata configuration page
opens.
3. Type information into the fields or modify existing content as needed, then click Apply.
Configure encoding
You can modify the encoding settings for a channel. The encoding settings let you fine tune your channel
recording or live stream. You can select a specific frame size, bitrate, audio or video codec, and more.
Channel encoding settings may be automatically overwritten when using the Pearl device with a
