Connector Framework Server 24.1

# ReadFromOriginalLocation

A Boolean that specifies whether Media Server can read video files from their original location.

The original location could be the `temp` directory of the connector that retrieved the files, or the CFS working directory if the configuration parameter WorkingDirectory is set. If Media Server can read the files from this location, set this parameter to `TRUE`.

If Media Server cannot read files from their original location (for example the Media Server is on a different machine), you can:

- set the parameter MediaServerSharedPath instead, so that CFS copies the media files to a shared folder.
- set neither this parameter nor MediaServerSharedPath. In this case CFS sends files to Media Server using HTTP POST requests. HTTP POST is not recommended for large files.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required | No
Configuration Section: | Any section that you have defined for media analysis task settings
Example: | `ReadFromOriginalLocation=TRUE`
See Also: | MediaServerSharedPath
