Operation/Reference Guide
Permissions set on a category do not automatically apply to sub-categories of that folder, you must set the
permissions individually on each sub category. The only exception to this rule is the DVR Recordings
category. Permissions set on the DVR Recordings category apply to all categories created in this folder by
Record services.
Configuring Metadata
When you select Archives > Configure Metadata the following page appears (FIG. 86).
The Archive supports two styles of metadata:
Built-in: This type of metadata cannot be modified
Normal: This information is available in both management and user interfaces
The built-in metadata is used to display the available formats of specific videos and technical information
about the videos. Metadata is stored in different sections which appear in the information bar when playing a
video in the archive. User-created metadata sections can be of one of two types:
Text Section: Sequential text
Table Section: A table with a user defined number of columns
There is a special user group called AMX-STB-VIRTUAL-USERGROUP which
controls access for set-top box users, this is shown in blue. This group only has one
permission, the View permission, as set-top boxes are unable to carry out any other
actions on Archive contents. To allow set-top box users to view published MPEG2 or
MP3 media in a particular folder you must give the AMX-STB-VIRTUAL-
USERGROUP view permission on that folder.
To update set-top-box permissions will need to navigate away from the main menu on
the set-top box using the set-top box controller press and hold the menu button to
update Archive Permission changes.
Updates to Archive Permissions/changes to Archive will not appear until tablet users
re-login. PC users need only re-enter an archive folder to refresh Permissions.
