Instructions

In the Control Panel, go to Step2: Config Selection. Press on ‘'Edit’' and you will get the list of Tabs. As it is shown below in (Image 1), the ‘'Streaming Tab’' is the first in the list.

Streaming Options

1. Streaming Priority

If the CCUs are in multiple regions, this feature will allow users to connect to the closest machine (Lower Latency) for a better quality or to get the available one (Faster connection) for a faster load time.

2. Password to start streaming

set a password to your application. The app will not run unless you enter the password. Secure Streaming URL by Password protection

3. URL Expiry Date

With this feature you can set the URL expiration date following the format (mm/dd/yyyy) and the time of expiration (Hours: minutes: seconds: milliseconds).

4. Launch most recent already available

There are a lot of uses for this feature, we chose to talk only about one of them in this document.

4.1. Enable the feature ‘'Launch most recent already available’'

Check the small box of the feature ‘'Launch most recent already available’', to enable it.

a. The use of this feature

Once enabled, this feature will make sure that your application will be automatically downloaded from the Cloud storage to our machines, every time you play it (it will behave as it was uploaded for the first time)

An application that is uploaded for the first time, behaves in a way that, when you click the URL to play it, on the loading page, you will see ‘'The Acquiring App/Preparing App phase’' and that is how you would know that it is downloaded from the Cloud to our machines.

4.2. Disable the feature ‘'Launch most recent already available’'

Disable the feature by unchecking the small box next to it.

That would get the loading process of your application to the normal ‘'Starting App’' progress bar for not a the first time uploads.

Now you are ready to use the ‘'Streaming Tab’' and its embedded features for your applications !
