Configuration

In order to be able to use the Video plug-in after installing it (see Installation) you must:

Create a configuration file containing all the information the Video plug-in needs to access the various systems involved in your video workflows.
Add one or more video content types to your publication's content-type resource.
Configure Viz Content Pilot correctly to ensure that the Content Studio browse functionality works correctly (only necessary if you are intending to use the VME-based workflow described in VME-based Workflow).

While you are working on the configuration, it is a good idea to set the Content Engine logging level to DEBUG for the video plug-in. This will ensure that you get detailed information in the log file. Once the system is correctly configured you can set the logging level back to the default level. To change the logging level open a browser and go the escenic-admin application's Logging Levels page. Set the category com.escenic.video to the level you require (for example, DEBUG). For general information about setting logging levels, see the Escenic Content Engine Server Administration Guide.
