Frequently Asked Questions (Enterprise) [VE 21.4 OG]

Why does the VidiEditor search not show any video results?

  • No item exists in VidiCore having a shape matching the ME_ProxyShapeTag configuration parameter. Try to transcode a video to the configured ME_ProxyShapeTag and see if it is found. The default shape tag is ME_proxy_mp4_360_8ch.

  • Check the configuration of the ME_ProxyShapeTag Metadata key value pair on me_user group in VidiCore

  • Ensure that at least one of the options is checked in Media Type search filter.

Why is the publish button inactive / not clickable?

Why does the source player not play some media items, but can play others?

  • The media files need to stay in convention for video and audio - basically videos in MP4 / H.264 and audio in AAC. See detailed information here.

  • The ME_ProxyShapeTag configuration does have a shape tag configured not suitable for VidiEditor streaming. Check this configuration as explained in here.

Why does the source player not stream any media files?

  • The streaming service is down. This can be seen in the browser's web debugger while all API calls to streaming server fail. Please contact the support team.

  • All proxy shape tags configured in ME_ProxyShapeTag and ME_ProxyAudioShapeTag parameter are referencing files not supported for streaming. Please compare here.

  • The Render Preview Streaming Server URL might not be set correctly. See in General Configurations [VE 21.4 OG]

The Timeline player does not show a video when loading an exiting project, after one modification of a segment the timeline plays!

  • The proxy video files can be played in general as defined in Supported Proxy Video Format [VE 21.4 OG]

  • This happens when the proxy files are in correct format but the desired Timeline Output format is not matching the physical files.

  • Check Configuration switch “TimelineOutputFormat” in ConfigPortal → VidiEditor → General Use Case page to match the video files.
