Adding a Video
To add a single video file, you click on the
"+ Add Video/Youtube/Powerpoint"
button
found on the bottom of the Videos listing. You then need to select the type of the Video
source. You can choose from:
Video File
- upload one or more Video files from your computer to your account
YouTube Video
- use a link to a YouTube video which the Player will then
download directly from YouTube and playback locally
PPT File
- upload one or more PowerPoint (PPT or PPTX) files from your computer
- they get converted to a video on your account retaining all animations and
transitions
Video Stream
- use a Live Video Stream from the Internet or a local source,
including YouTube Live, uStream, and UDP/RTP/HLS streams
Video Wall
- read instructions on how to set up a Video Wall with your Player
After you provide the Video source, you need to also provide the name of the video and an
optional description for it.
Clicking
"Save"
will upload (or just save) the video on your account.
NOTE:
In regards to the
"Video Upload"
source type, there is an option to upload the
exact file for playback and
not
the normalized version. This option is generally
recommended for
advanced users
only since playback of the original video file might fail.
Enabling this option while uploading will inhibit encoding, decreasing the time required for
the video to be available, but also prevent from creating thumbnail for the video.
