Uploading an MP4 File to Use as a Video Source

If you have an MP4 file from a KB recording and want to use it on another KB device, you can upload it to your second KB using the following procedure.

Note

MP4 files other than those from a KB recording are not guaranteed to work.

PC

Click the button.
Type "\\<ip address>\filesource", where <ip address> is the IP address of the KB Encoder\Transcoder, and press Enter.
You are prompted with a login dialog box. Use the hvroot credentials.

Note

This hvroot user is a separate SMB user and is not the same as the hvroot system user.

Copy the MP4 to this folder.

When creating a channel in KB and selecting File Source as the input, a File Source Folder dropdown appears to select from your uploaded MP4s:
