A prioritized case-insensitive list of audio languages that is used for automatic audio selection. This list is agnostic to B/T codes, i.e. if one of FRE or FRA is given, both FRE and FRA will match.

This object supports the "any" wildcard which matches any language. Using this wildcard avoids audio tracks from being penalized during auto selection just because their language is not included in this object. Languages matching the "any" wildcard are given a lower priority compared to languages that are listed explicitly.

See CFG_MEDIA_AUDIO_PRIORITYORDER for additional details.

Type:
String

Value set:
Comma separated list with values from ISO 639-2 B/T and ISO 639-3, e.g. "fra,eng", or "any". This list can have up to 255 entries.

Default:
"eng,swe"

The KreaTV platform can automatically select the audio track based on several selection strategies. One strategy is to prioritize tracks based on language. Other strategies prioritize them based on the encoding or based on the track type, like normal versus visually impaired.

This object is a prioritized case-insensitive list defining the relative priority of the different auto selection strategies. The first entry in the list has a greater weight and the following entries have lower weights each.

Regardless of the order in which the strategies are provided, the default behavior is to penalize audio tracks in languages that are not listed in CFG_MEDIA_AUDIO_LANGUAGEPRIORITY. This may lead to situations where a preferred format, like AC3, is available but not chosen because it comes in a language that is not listed in CFG_MEDIA_AUDIO_LANGUAGEPRIORITY. To override this behavior and make KreaTV consider all tracks irrespective of their language, you can add the "any" wildcard to the language priority list.

If the priority order is 'type, format, language', for example, then any matching type and format have a higher weight than language, as long as the track matches a language specified in CFG_MEDIA_AUDIO_LANGUAGEPRIORITY.

Type:
String

Value set:
Comma separated list with one or more of the following.

• language
• format
• type

Default:
"language,type,format"

The minimum CGMS-A level to use on the analog video outputs. Minimum is in this case on a per-bit level. This means that if this object is configured to be e.g. 2, copyright asserted will always be signaled. However other CGMS-A source might according to the policy decide that copying should also be restricted and hence the level on the outputs will in such cases be 3.

The mapping from CGMS-A level to wide screen signaling output bits is done according to ETSI TS 102 825-10 V1.1.1 section 6.3.7.

Note that this object is available only if KreaTV is configured for it.
