HiRes Playout [MP UG]
HiRes Playout - Port selection
The HiRes Playout feature allows authorized users to control high-resolution video server playback directly from MediaPortal’s familiar player interface. Playback commands are sent in parallel to both the proxy video and the external video server.
Using HiRes Playout
Prerequisites
User must have appropriate elevated permissions to access HiRes Playout functionality.
The media item must have a valid file reference on the configured video server storage.
Workflow
Load an Item
Open MediaPortal and navigate to either the Preview Panel or Details View.
Load the media item you wish to play.
Select a Video Server
From the available list of configured video servers, select the desired video server for HiRes playout.
Validation
The system checks whether the selected media item has a corresponding file available on the selected video server’s storage.
Playback
If validation is successful, the player sends playback commands (e.g., play, pause, seek) in parallel:
Web-based proxy player for preview.
Video server playout port for high-resolution output.
Control
Users control both playout systems using the same unified controls within MediaPortal.
Notes
If the media file is not yet available on the video server storage, playback will only occur on the web-video proxy.
Ensure workflows are in place to transfer media to the appropriate storage locations for HiRes playout.
