Media Source Settings

To customize the source when adding a video, click “Save & Add Media Streams” in the add window. To customize and edit the source of existing content, click on the video (series, show) and click on the “Source” tab.

Basic settings

Four options can be used as a video file source:

  1. Uploading the video file from the Telebreeze server.
  2. A direct link to the video source.
  3. Uploading the video file directly in the source settings window.
  4. Adding video from the TV channel's temporary archive.

Here's how the new source window works.

Aspect Ratio: default as in the source, but can be adjusted to the screen size in the subscriber's application: Fit, Stretch or Crop.
Source - does not apply any settings.
Fit - fits existing content into the screen at its maximum length. The video proportions are preserved, the video is not cropped. Free space is filled with black color.
Stretch - stretches the image to fit the screen. Video proportions are changed, the video is not cropped.
Crop - Fits the image to the shortest length. Video proportions are preserved, excessive video information is cropped.

Server: select the server on which the content is located. After selecting the server, you will be prompted to choose an encoding profile. A URI (resource identifier) window will be added. It should be filled in automatically.

To add a direct link to a source, leave the "Server" field with "External URL" content and fill in the URL field.

To add a video from a TV channel's temporary archive, select the ‘Channel Record’ source type. Fields for selecting a TV channel will be added, and the ‘Programme’ field will suggest all programmes in the temporary archive. Selecting such a programme moves it to the permanent archive, and the programme will be stored as a video source until the video is deleted by the operator.
