Introduction

In 6.3.6 Supported formats, there are only a few formats supported. A number of clients have asked if other formats can support playback in LUNA. These instructions show you how to enable these other formats

Steps

Here are the changes that need to be made on the LUNA server. Please make a backup of any file you edit. You don't need to stop the LUNA-Tomcat service while making the changes. It's the last step after you've made the changes.

1.) In: <LUNA>\tomcat\luna_apps\luna.war\WEB-INF\classes\

a.) add 'm4v' to the list of 'supportedMediaExtensions' in both of these text files:
default.properties
blue.properties


b.) add '.mp4' and '.m4v' to the text file 'views-insight.properties' AND 'video/m4v mp4' to the areas indicated in the screenshot

 

2.) In: <LUNA>\tomcat\luna.war\js\TemplatedPanel.js

a.) change 'new Array("mp3","flv")' to:

new Array("mp3","flv","mov","mp4","m4v")


 

3.) In: <LUNA>\tomcat\luna.war\themes\default\mediaTemplates\detailview

a.) using a text editor copy the contents/text of the file mp3.jsp and paste/replace into mp4.jsp and mov.jsp

b.) repeat this for the following file as well
<LUNA>\tomcat\luna.war\themes\blue\mediaTemplates\detailview

4.) Restart LUNA-Tomcat to load the changes.

Updating Studio

 

Download insightstudio.jar

Here's what needs to be done on your computer or any other computer that will be importing mpeg(mpg, mp4, m4v.) video files.

1. close InsightStudio if the application is open

2. make a backup of the following file:
<Insight Studio install folder>\lib\insightstudio.jar
by renaming it to something like 'insightstudio_backup.jar'

3. copy the attached insightstudio.jar file to that same folder:
<Insight Studio install folder>\lib\

These formats should now upload and playback in LUNA's detail view
