Disable content download during operating hours

By default, players download content instantly regardless of their operating hours. If you don’t want your player to download content during operating hours, you can enable a display setting in the IXM Platform and use it to control the content download.

Configure content download

To enable the setting in the IXM Platform, you must configure a setting in the master.config file and the config.json file.

To configure the master.config file, perform the following steps:

1. Open the master.config file on the server with a text editor like Notepad++.

2. Under global, find the setting EnableContentDownloadDuringOperationTimesRestriction or add it if necessary.

3. Set its value to true.

4. Save your changes and close the file.

<appSettings type="global">
      <add key="EnableContentDownloadDuringOperationTimesRestriction" value="true"/>
</appSettings>

To configure the config.json file, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the configuration files on the server at: GVServer2\www\gv2\gf\GFWebHtmlCustomer\

2. Open one of the following folders:

   • 00000: edit configurations for the entire server, which means for all customers.

   • 000xxx: edit customer-specific settings. xxx is the customer ID.

3. Open the config.json file in your folder with a text editor like Notepad++.

4. Find the setting restrictDownloadTimesEnabled and set it to true.

5. Save your changes and close the file.

"cms": {
	"restrictDownloadTimesEnabled": true,
}
