Uploading an EPG File
The EPG File Upload page can be used to upload an electronic program guide (EPG) file into the CDS
for use with the Media Scheduler. The EPG file is an XML file.
Note The EPG File Upload page is part of the Media Scheduler feature. For more information, see the “Media
Scheduler” section on page F-10.
Before you can upload an EPG file, you need to enter the channel information. See the “Configuring
Input Channels” section on page 4-37 for more information.
To upload an EPG file, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Maintain > Software > EPG Upload. The EPG File Upload page is displayed.
Step 2 Enter the full path and filename in the EPG File Location field, or click Browse to locate the file using
the Browse window.
Step 3 After the full path and filename of the EPG File is entered, click Upload.
To clear the fields and start over, click Reset.
Identifying Server IDs and Group IDs for VVI with Split-Domain Management
When using CCP Streamers in a VVI with split-domain management, it is mandatory that all group IDs
and server IDs be unique for each server in the system. To assure this, the VVIM manages all the
identifiers, and the Stream Managers get a range of group IDs and server IDs from the VVIM and uses
them for the Streamers it manages.
Table 7-8 lists the CDSM GUI ID names and maps them to the CServer names in the setupfile and
.arroyorc files.
Generating Server IDs and Group IDs from the VVIM
The Configuration Generator page is used to generate group IDs and server IDs for the Stream Managers.
When the Stream Manager contacts the VVIM during the initial configuration using the cdsconfig script,
the VVIM generates the IDs, sends them to the Stream Manager, and populates the table on the
Configuration Generator page. This is done by an HTTP GET request over port 80.
