A right click on the Play button
download the archive. The user can select "Download Archive" or "Download
Source Code File". The archive is in WMV format and can be directly played
by the Windows Media Player. The source code file can only be played after
using Polycom's RSS 2000 Archive Converter to convert the video format.
For an introduction of the converter tool, please refer to Using RSS 2000

E-Mail Link

Clicking on the "E-Mail This Link" icon
can automatically open an e-mail message in user's default mail client
(Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Note etc.) to send a link to the archive as
part of the body of an e-mail.
The user just needs to fill in the recipient's e-mail address. The e-mail's
default subject will be "You are invited to view this archive". After the
recipient receives the e-mail, they can find the playback address for the
archive in the e-mail. They can enter the playback address in their
browser's address field and press the Enter key to view the video. In
addition, a user also can open their Windows Media Player software and
enter the playback address in the dialog box under "File → Open URL" to
view the video. Make sure that the network the recipient is on can
communicate normally with RSS 2000 to make playback successful.
The default video playback address in the e-mail includes the link to the RSS
2000 LAN 1 port IP address. If the network the RSS 2000 is on is behind a
firewall, external users usually cannot access the RSS 2000's private address
to play the video. When this happens, set a public network IP or DNS name
in the "External IP/DNS name" page in "System Configuration → IP
Configuration". After this, video playback e-mails sent will provide a video
During video play, the viewer can drag the slider for fast-forward or rewind of the
video.
When playing a video, if the user selects another video to view, the first video will
immediately stop playing.
HD/SD videos cannot be played until they are completely converted. At this time,
moving the cursor over the corresponding video's Play button will cause a
message giving the progress of the conversion to appear. To see an updated
progress message, refresh the web page.
Users can only download archives that are in the device's archive list.
