These settings will be used for all your devices except those who will match specific rules. Also you may specify any available CAS type as default you'd like to use - it's optional. | + | //Before:// make sure that you specify default stream types for live and timeshift for your provider: "Default media type" and "Default DVR media type" (<server.url>/admin#providers).

| Best practice to use media is to define the streaming type you use more then others as default in the provider settings and then define some media selection rules for any specific device type or provider network you have that allow you to give another type of streaming for these limited cases. Please, pay attention that if you have a few media types in the media, e.g. HLS_MULTI and HLS_MONO, and then you specify media selection rule, say, for s401, to use DASH, it means that no URL will be generated, because no match will be found in the media. To fix such problems, you'll have to add this absent type to the media or create new media with such type and assign it to the channel. | Best practice to use media is to define the streaming type you use more then others as default in the provider settings and then define some media selection rules for any specific device type or provider network you have that allow you to give another type of streaming for these limited cases.
