How to change MM video downloads to "Original" only

On Media Manager, if only “Original” is required as download, then there’s a LOT of storage to spare by changing the configuation for published assets.

This is based on OOBE configuration

Under System tools → Profiles

• Select OOBE Media Manager video

• Remove all formats, except:

  • Desktop Video Thumb

  • Tablet Video Thumb

  • Mobile Video Thumb

Under System tools → ConfigManager → Media manager 5 → 5.0.0 (note this root!)

• Select Profiles and destinations tab

• Mark Digizuite™ Media Manager

• In the right side, click on “Digizuite™ Video Portal Videos” | “FrontendData SM” to delete. Confirm with save.

Open

Under System tools → ConfigManager → Media manager 5 → 5.0.0 → Default (or what the active node is named)

• Select Profiles and destinations tab

• Mark Digizuite™ Media Manager

• In the right side, click on “Digizuite™ Video Portal Videos” | “FrontendData SM” to delete. Confirm with save.

  Open

  

Recycle IIS

Note: If this is done on a none-OOBE, then it’s essential that you do remove the “Digizuite™ Video Portal Videos” from the root, otherwise it will inherit from that (which the causes no effect in the changes).

Result: Only the “Original” is now downloadable from MM:

And will under normal circumstances mean a decreasing of storage usage on 98,8%!

Example:

Video, original file size: ~18,5MB

Before changes were made:

• Asset storage (original file + thumbs for DC): 19.1MB (4 files)

• Files published (Frontend.Data) (incl. thumbs, previews, video formats), in total: 35.3MB (12 files)

After changes were made:

• Asset storage (original file + thumbs for DC): 19.1MB (4 files) (same)

• Files published (Frontend.Data)(incl. thumbs, previews, video formats), in total: 44.5KB (3 files)
