Streaming Server

Version 3.1

Using 4Sight as a relay

4Sight acts as a relay server when it accepts a stream from a source (a

broadcaster or another streaming server) and sends it or "relays" it to one

or more other streaming servers.

Basic setup

Use the WebAdmin to set up a relay (see “WebAdmin” on page 71).

Preliminary setup of the server

Before configuring 4Sight as a relay, you need to check your streaming

server configuration file.

In the streamingserver.xml file, look for the ESSRelayModule. You should

see something like:

/usr/Envivio/4Sight/Config/relayconfig.xml

</PREF>

</MODULE>

You can modify the relay_prefs_file parameter and specify the target file

you want to use. This file is the only file needed by the streaming server to

configure relays. If this file does not exist, it will be created.
