When double-clicked, it should launch the MvTv Scheduler. If configured properly, it will start to download the videos scheduled by the MvTv Scheduler Administrator. When the clips have been downloaded, a playlist file will be created, and the MvTv Scheduler Client will begin playing the playlist content at the top of the next hour. NOTE: The MvTv is a remoting program that communicates with the IP protocol utilizing ports.If you can't login to the Admin, check to make sure your firewall isn't blocking all ports. Either turn your firewall off (just for testing) or add the required port number as an exception (preferred method). Notes: 1. The MvTv Scheduler Channel will contact the MvTv Scheduler Server every minute (by default) to see if there's a new playlist or scrolling text to display. If there's new video content that's required to be downloaded, the downloads begin immediately. When all videos that are scheduled to play in the playlist are downloaded, a new playlist is downloaded, and the new content will play when scheduled by the new playlist. If the Internet connection to the Client is broken, downloads will resume when the Internet connection returns. The MvTv only plays new content once it is stored on the Channel. In this manner, the playback quality isn't affected by how fast or how slow your Internet connection is. 2. Should you need to make changes to your MvTv Scheduler Channel configuration, go to the default configuration file location at: C:\MvTv\MvTv Scheduler Client\ClientConfigEditor.exe. 3. The MvTv Scheduler Channel can be launched by double-clicking on the MvTv Scheduler icon on your desktop. If client your configuration is incorrect you may receive an error. Your MvTv Scheduler System must have valid licenses to operate, otherwise you'll receive the error: "The system is improperly installed and must be shut down". See the MvTv Scheduler Server Readme for license info. 4. The MvTv Scheduler Channel is meant to be a stand-alone or remote controlled device, and should be the only application running in the foreground of your PC other than during testing. For this reason there's no shut down button. The application can be closed from the Windows Task Manager. Use "CTRL-ALT-DEL", then click on the Processes tab from the Windows Task Manager. Select MvTvClient.exe, then the "End Process" button. Also, select ProcessController.exe, then the "End Process" button. 5. The ProcessController.exe is set to restart the MvTv Scheduler Client at 3:59 am every day, in order to flush out any memory leaks caused by the MvTv Channel playing videos all day. If more than one ProcessController.exe is found in the Windows Task Manager, the processes should be ended. 6. In a real production setting, make sure you do the following on the MvTv Channel: a) Turn off the PC's screen saver b) if the PC will be remote, make sure you have a way to contact the PC remotely... Windows XP Pro is recommended as it includes Remote Desktop c) make sure you have a firewall protecting the PC and only open the ports for MvTv and remote control. Microsoft's Personal Firewall works well. MvTv Scheduler System Contact Info: Phone: 1-403-286-0913 Email: support@microvideo.com Copyright 2009 MicroVideo Learning Systems, Inc.
