Release 2.2 added a new mode for displaying archival records \u2014 Video Archive. In this mode, a special team make_vodpvr<\/a> creates Video objects based on past transmissions with archival recording. This mode allows you to display archival records in the general film catalog, as well as enrich the section \u00abArchive\u00bb with all the functionality that ordinary films already have \u2014 filters, actors, directors, seasons and episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archive based on EPG collections <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Configure the categories of archival records<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To filter the recordings will be used categories of programs (Program category objects in the Smarty administration service panel), displayed in the sections of TV channels (section \u00abTV by interests \u00bb in the template) impulsive<\/code>, section \u00abTV\u00bb in templates futuristic<\/code> and infinitly<\/code>). If at the time of setting up this section, these categories have not yet been created, then you should start with instruction<\/a> by setting them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the EPG-category to be displayed in the section of archival records, you should additionally install a checkbox for it \u00ab Use for the list of archival records \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Creating selections from EPG<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once EPG categories are configured, you need to create collections for archival records. Selection in this context \u2014 this is a combination of program objects in EPG by name (required to combine series of series and programs in seasons, different parts of films \u2014 in packages). The selection team:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

smarty_manage epg_import <\/code>create_content -settings=settings.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This command should be added to crontab for regular execution (we recommend simply adding the option) create_content<\/code> c the current EPG import command, as the required frequency is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Setting up the caching of selections<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Obtaining collections of archival records on the fly is quite a difficult and long request for applications, so to optimize it, you need to add to the list crontab offline caching command collections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
smarty_manage cache_record_list<\/code> -categories -settings=settings.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The team has 3 possible parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-categories<\/code> - add filters by category to the cache (for display in the Archive screen in the left column of EPG categories)\n-genres<\/code> - add filters by genre to the cache (for display in the Archive screen in the left column of EPG genres)\nCategory_skip_ids - the ability to remove selected categories from the caching program.\n-genre_skip_ids - the ability to remove the selected genres from caching.\n-client_id<\/code> Create cache only for a specific Client.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The frequency of the launch of this command is recommended to be selected individually for your service, depending on the number of channels with records and server capacity (starting from 20 minutes or more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To optimize the work of this team, you can use the options below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
