Blocking archive transmissions

Copyright holders may prohibit the recording and display of an archive of specific broadcasts on air — to comply with these requirements, Smarty provides for the blocking of specific archival broadcasts.

How it works:

  1. The copyright holder informs about the need to block the transfer for display in the archive.
  2. The operator creates a lock on this transfer manually in the admin or using API.
  3. This transmission becomes unavailable for launch in the subscriber application, as well as the command make_vodpvr skip it when creating films from the archive when specifying the option check_program_blocking.
