Common scenarios: Broadcasting a playlist
Single server configuration
If you have 4Sight and Playlist Broadcaster on the same machine, one
simple way to broadcast a playlist is to configure your playlist to drop the
SDP file directly into the movie folder of your streaming server, and to use
the server as a reflector (see “Using 4Sight as a reflector” on page 40).
This is done by giving the full path to the SDP file in the movie folder.
1. For example, if your movie folder is /usr/Envivio/4Sight/Movies/, and
your SDP file is called myPlaylist.m4e, the path you will have to use is:
/usr/Envivio/4Sight/Movies/myPlaylist.m4e
2. Either set the SDP File text box to this path, or set the two parameters
sdp_file and sdp_destination_file to this path.
3. When you start the playlist, the SDP file will be created in the movie
folder and will be accessible using your player by connecting to a URL
like:
e-rtsp://ip_address_of_the_server/myPlaylist.m4e
