Media Player

Once the desired media content is hosted on a customer or CDN origin server, you are ready to set up your media player for use with HTTP Progressive Download. This requires that you set the player URL to a CDN or edge CNAME URL that leverages the HTTP Large platform (as indicated below).

• CDN URL:
  http://wpc.ANThis term represents your customer account number (e.g., 0001) which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the MCC..{Base Domain}/yyANThis term represents your customer account number (e.g., 0001) which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the MCC./Path/Filename
• Edge CNAME URL:
  http://cname.domain.com/Path/Filename

When defining a CDN URL, you should keep the following items in mind:

• Origin identifier: The term yy should be replaced with one of the following:
  • Customer origin server: It should be replaced with "80" (e.g., /800001).
  • CDN origin server: It should be replaced with "00" (e.g., /000001).
• Path: Replace this term with the path to the folder where the desired media content is stored.
  • Customer origin server: The specified path should start with the name of the customer origin configuration that points to your origin server.
• Filename: Replace this term with the filename of the desired media asset (e.g., video.mp4).
• Token-Based Authentication: If the desired video has been secured by Token-Based Authentication, then you will need to append to the file name a question mark (?) followed by a token valueFor example, if the file name is "video.mp4" and the desired token is "a4fbc3710fd3449a7c99984d1b86603c22be1006d830b," then you would specify "video.mp4?a4fbc3710fd3449a7c99984d1b86603c22be1006d830b" as your file name. that corresponds to an encryption key.
