Media Flow Controller CLI Commands
virtual-player
Create a named virtual player in Media Flow Controller with policies for delivery; the virtual
player can then be used in a namespace, see
namespace
for details. The different virtual
player types correspond to those types of videos; for example, if you intend to deliver
YouTube® videos, create a type youtube virtual player for the corresponding namespace.
When you create a virtual player of any type with virtual-player <name> type <type>, you
enter virtual-player prefix mode. This makes configuration easier if you have a set of
command values to enter with copy-and-paste. To leave the virtual-player prefix mode, use
exit. Use no to negate or disable settings.
These are the general virtual-player commands; not all options are available for all types.

Note!
There is an implicit virtual player that is set with the network connection commands. If
no virtual player is assigned to a namespace, that namespace uses the network connection
values. If a defined virtual player is assigned to a namespace, the virtual player values
override the network connection values. See
network
for details.
See
“Creating and Configuring Virtual Players (CLI)” on page 74
for task details. See
“Media
Flow Controller Virtual Player Functions” on page 53
for overview;
“Using query-string-parm”
on page 75
,
“Using hash-verify” on page 76
and
“Using virtual-player type qss-streamlet rate-
map” on page 76
for virtual player argument details.
Currently Media Flow Controller supports 6 types of virtual players:
•
virtual-player type generic
—for caching most Web video content. Delivery
options include assured-flow, connection max-bandwidth, fast-start, full-download,
hash verification, and seek.
