Before you begin processing a file or stream, you must create a configuration that instructs HPE Media Server how to process the media.
You can configure HPE Media Server by modifying the HPE Media Server configuration file. However, you might want to process media from different sources, or run different analysis tasks for different types of media. Therefore HPE recommends that you do not configure ingestion, analysis, encoding, data transformation, event stream processing, or output in the HPE Media Server configuration file. Instead, pass these settings to HPE Media Server in the process
action, when you start processing.
To pass a configuration to HPE Media Server through the process
action, you can:
ConfigDirectory
parameter, in the [Paths]
section of the HPE Media Server configuration file. When you run the process
action to start processing, use the ConfigName
action parameter to specify the name of the configuration file to use. process
action when you start processing. Use the Config
action parameter to include the base-64 encoded data.A configuration that you specify in the process
action overrides the [Ingest]
, [Analysis]
, [Encoding]
, [Transform]
, [EventProcessing]
, and [Output]
sections of the HPE Media Server configuration file.
