SERVER SETUP |
RealOne Player (version 9.0 and later) dynamically attempts to reconnect to
a Helix Server if playback is disrupted due to a catastrophic network
or server host outage. The server enables one or more redundant
servers to be designated. Upon initial connection, RealOne Player is told
what redundant servers exist. If during playback an outage is detected by
RealOne Player, it will reconnect to the redundant host designated via this
web page.
The host entry may be a dotted IP address or a host name. The name or address may resolve to a single system, a DNS rotation or a virtual address used by a switch. Any redundant server must be able to deliver the identical live broadcasts and on-demand presentations as this Helix DNA Server. Redundant server assignment is done by resource path. To designate a redundant server for all hosted content, simply define "/" as the rule. |
