In this Content List, rtsp://cds.com/pirates.mov will be entered with Profile id=“1,” and
rtsp://cds.com/pirates.pda.wmv will be entered with Profile id=“2.” The other entries will have a default
Profile id=“0.”
Supported Profile Management Operations
The profile information of a Profile List can be added, appended, deleted, or retrieved to and from the
centralized session manager through HTTP messages. The creation of the HTTP message itself depends
on the client.
For illustrative purposes, the following examples use the wget command, using the file profile_list.xml.
To add or append a Profile List, use the following HTTP message:
wget --post-file=profile_list.xml http://cds.com/api/services/profile_mgr/
To delete a Profile List, use the following HTTP message:
wget --post-file=profile_list.xml
http://cds.com/api/services/profile_mgr/\(_method=DELETE\)
Note The backslashes preceding the opening and closing parentheses are escape characters for wget. If a
different client is used, the characters required may be different.
To retrieve a Profile List with the profiles of the database, use the following wget command:
wget http://cds.com/api/services/profile_mgr/
Note This URL can also be called from a web browser such as Internet Explorer.
Session Manager
The Stream Session Event Manager allows creating and retrieving “last play times” for pairs of content
and subscribers. The session information is stored by content set and subscriber set. Thus, in the
examples illustrated in the “Content Lists” section on page D-2, and the “Subscriber Lists” section on
page D-4, Bob Smith might have started watching rtsp://cds.com/pirates.mov on his set-top box with
