this is enabled and a multicast IP address is configured, your stream is displayed in the
playlist of the local media player.
b. Enter a multicast IP address in the
SAP announcement IP
field. If your media player is
configured to receive multicast streams from an IP address that is different from the default
address 224.2.127.254, you may need to contact your system administrator for a specific
multicast IP address.
c. Enter a channel number in the
Channel number

player. By default, the Channel number is the channel identifier.
When a channel number value is not specified, viewers cannot select a
channel from the set-top box or Smart TV .
d. Enter a name for a group of streams in the text box next to
Group name

multiple folders or in cases where folders are not displayed, use dot separator hierarchy to
help your viewers filter out unwanted streams by category.
