The Mediacaster Video On Demand functionality allows you to use any Windows MCE compatible remote control to control media files on your Player. This functionality is usually employed on the Players to override scheduled material. Examples of where this is usually used:

1.  to allow the playing of training material for staff

2.  a specific corporate video management would like played to staff;

3.  or any other video that requires ad hoc play times.

To setup this facility follow the steps below:

In the Manager, open the ‘Add-Ins’ menu and select ‘Video On Demand’.

 

 

This will open the Video On Demand form.

 

 

Choose a channel to upload the media to. If you would like to control the use of this facility at the each player you can enter a PIN number that will have to be entered through the remote control at the Players. You will be given a list of all videos in the chosen Client or Group. Select the videos you would like to be available for playback and click ‘>’ to move them into the column ‘Selected Media’.
