Creating Multicast Streams
Introduction
Some media player devices are able to display and playback multicast video streams. These multicast video streams are defined as external content media files within Appspace. It should be noted that the preview option is not currently available for these streams and that Appspace only stores the URL of the multicast stream.
Creating Multicast Streams
Select the folder you wish to add content to. Click the ‘Upload’ button, and click ‘Add External Content’.
Fill in the Title and Description of the content. You can also choose to tag or set an expiry on the content.
Select the Edit sub-tab. For the Type drop-down menu, select Video. In the URL field, enter udp as the protocol followed by the multicast IP address (and multicast port number if required). Click APPLY when finished.
Example
udp://239.0.0.1:1234
