 3.1    There are five channel types:

1.    Default – is as a default setting. It is possible to add under channels and video clips.  It is also possible to determine the amount of the videos in the channel.
2.    Selected – This channel type can contain links to video content another Internet TV or channel in elsewhere in the same user ‘s account. See the more detailed instructions of linking the videos at 4.4
3.    Most watched  - includes the most viewed videos of this Internet TV station
4.    Best rated – the content in this channel is automatically generated by the server
5.    Latest videos – this channel type lists the newest videos in this Internet TV channel.  The content is automatically generated by the server.

Please note that if the channel type is 3, 4 or 5 the content cannot be changed as it is generated automatically based on video useage statistics.

From the parent channel it is possible to choose how the channel appears.  A parent channel can be either the Internet TV station or another channel.  Please note that the channel type of the parent channel must be set as Default.

In the description field you can add detailed information about the channel.  The details will not appear in public on your Internet TV station but will appear in the Administration interface in the left corner Details box while the channel is open or being edited.

Channels and video content in the player can be organised from the Sorting tab, with videos listed according to name or created date.  Video content can also be organised in any order from the Custom menu where you can drag and drop the target.


3.2 Editing the Channel

If you wish to edit the details of the channel, click the Edit channel button.  You may edit the basic information of the channel; name, description or channel type.  From the Sorting tab you can also change the order of the channels and the videos.

 


3.3 Copying and moving the channels

The channels can be copied or moved into another Internet TV station or channel in your user account.  Click either Move or Copy in the Task bar.  Then choose the target destination you wish to move or copy the channel to.  You may also create a new Internet TV station or channel from the window that opens as a result of the Move or Copy action.

 

 If you wish to move the channel into another channel’s sub-channel make sure from the Channel editor that the parent channel type is set to Default.  It is possible to add sub-channels only if the parent channel’s type is set to default.
