Configuration

Enable dynamic configuration: Enable this to filter the active server configuration based on the active servers in AV Automation. Default: False
Post roll frames: Value that will be subtracted from the actual clip length when sending clip info back to the Manus Administrator. Default: 75 (frames)
ShouldUpgrade: For internal use only, should be set to False. Default: False

Connection

Existing clip check interval: Delay in seconds when to automatically verify presence of non-existing clips. Note that most video servers support asynchronous notifications, making this functionality unnecessary. Default: 00:00:30
Max Clip Duration For Key Frames: Use this for disabling showing keyframe markers for video files greater than this value in frames. Default: -1
Monitoring clip interval: Default interval for monitoring clips. A clip is polled for changes as long as any of its attributes changes. Default: 00:00:05
Next Admin Attemt Delay: Interval for retrying reconnecting to the Manus Administrator. Default: 00:00:05 (hh:mm:ss)
Next Admin Ping Delay: Interval for sending heartbeat to the Manus Administrator. Default: 00:00:05 (hh:mm:ss)
Ping delay: Interval between command requests (heartbeats) that Media Administrator sends to the video server. Pinging is used to detect whether the connected video servers are valid. Default: 00:01:00
For some video servers, ping can be disabled using the DisableHeartbeat property inside the connection string. See, for example, Configuration File Properties - VDCP > DisableHeartbeat.
Server reconnect delay: Delay in seconds when to try to reconnect to a video server. For example, if connecting to a video server is unsuccessful, this delay determines the time to wait before a new connection attempt is made. Default: 00:00:30

Video clip Server <n>: Connection string to media server <n>, for details see Video Server and MAM Connection Strings. At most 6 media servers may be connected. In most cases only one server connection is necessary. The connection string may vary according to the type of server.
Note that when MediaAdmin searches through all servers for information on a media clip, the search sequence starts with the last (highest numbered) server configured. This may impact the result of the media search if the media clip is present on more than one of the servers, and some property of the clip is not identical on these servers. In that case, the property will be set from the last server checked (i.e the lowest numbered server configured) where the clip was found present.

Ignore verbose events filter: Semicolon based list of events to ignore when using verbose logging. Default: <none>

Host: Hostname or IP address of the computer running the Manus Administrator application. In a typical configuration, the Manus Administrator runs on the same computer. I.e. the default value is normally sufficient. This value is also possible to set using the mmhost command. Default: localhost
Port: Corresponding TCP/IP (.NET Remoting) port used to establish connection to the Manus Administrator application. Default: 8085

Configuration filename: Configuration file for Media Router. Default: MediaRouterConfigVideo.xml
Server index name: Deprecated
