Hi !

I'm setting up AMS 5 and while changing VOD_COMMON_DIR and VOD_DIR, I saw one is PD able but not the other.

Problem is I have no idea what PD able mean.

Would someone be king enough to explain please ?

Thanks a lot !

Vincent

If you put content in a PD able location it means that anybody can download your files directly from your servers. This can be useful, or a disaster depending on your perspective. If you have clients that want to play content using PD then be sure to enable Fast Start on your files.
