Field	Description
File Transfer & VOD
Download	Enables download of files through the Files menu of the Zixi Broadcaster.

Upload	Enables upload of files through the Files menu of the Zixi Broadcaster

Scan on startup	Indexes the files in the VOD folder that have not been indexed during startup of the Zixi Broadcaster.
HLS indexing	Enables indexing of HLS streams. The indexing creates an M3U8 playlist file.
