• Error - very important messages and all errors are logged

• Warning - very important messages, errors and warnings are logged

• Information - very important messages, errors, warnings and verbose messages (include HTTP & WebSocket API calls) are logged. Warning! This level can generate large log files and dramatically decrease service performance. Enable it only if you want to log all API calls

Parameter name

Description

Configuration

Contains name of TurboPlayer main section with the TurboPlayer configuration (e.g. TurboPlayer, or TurboPlayer2, or TurboPlayer_News, etc.). This is the main-recommended way to get the service all required TurboPlayer parameters. The service extract all required communication parameters from the TurboPlayer configuration to communicate with it. Followed parameters are not needed to configure if this parameter is defined

• CommunicationType

• EngineAddress

• TreeManagerPortRange

• RundownKernelPortRange

• UseGlobalNamespaceForMMF

Be aware

• Service is always preferring to use the TurboPlayer configuration from configuration name before manual configuration. If this parameter is configured and not empty, manual configuration parameters will be ignored

• Service must have access to the TurboPlayer comfiguration.

  • If the TurboPlayer configuration is stored in local registry by another workstation, this workstation must be defined in the parameter ConfigurationHost. Otherwise, the local registry from the workstation, where the service is started, will be used.

  • If the TurboPlayer configuration is stored in the user registry, the service must be configured to use the same user account for access to the DPE services (see appsettings.json configuration above)

• If TurboPlayer is configured to use IP communciation type for access to RundownKernel and TreeManager, this IP address will be used for connection to TurboPlayer, otherwise local IP will be used (TurboPlayer must be installed on the same workstation with service). See TurboPlayerTechManual for details.

• Because service have access to the TurboPlayer configuration, an extra check for used GUI number is performed. If the service and the TurboPlayer use the same GUI number, service don’t connect to the TurboPlayer to prevent potential damage (e.g. TurboPlayer can be frozen) and return error message for any request from clients.

ConfigurationHost

The remote workstation name with the local registry contains the TurboPlayer configuration. If the TurboPlayer configuration is stored in local registry by another workstation, this workstation must be defined in this parameter. Otherwise, the local registry from the workstation, where the service is started, will be used.

Default value:
Empty string (local registry from the workstation, where the service is started, will be used)

GuiNumber

Number of GUI related to the configuration. GUI number of TurboPlayer (Settings/"the GUI number").

Warning! GUI number used by the service must be never equal to the GUI other numbers used by worked TurboPlayer instance. This cause TurboPlayer to frozen

ReadOnly

• False - clients can perform changes , but some requests can be rejected dependent on the user rights

Default value:
True

Timeout

Default value:
10000 (10 seconds)

Default value:
9981-9989

UseGlobalNamespaceForMMF
