    • Live Encoder notification preferences
    • Custom SSO Error notification preferences

Managing Notifications from Zype

You can update your notification settings in Zype to enable notifications for VOD transcodes, Live encoders, or Custom SSO failures. This is useful for keeping track of content that's being managed in your Zype account.

  • Transcoder Notifications - Turn this ON to get alerts when transcodes complete or fail for new VOD videos are uploaded to your Zype account. Notifications will only be sent to each individual account where these notifications are enabled.
    • NOTE: Zype will send this notification if the video that is being transcoded has a lower aspect ratio than the VOD presets selected. If the video only supports 720, but 1080 is a selected rendition, a notice will be triggered for the failed 1080. Even though 1080 failed, the video will complete successfully. 
  • Live Encoder Notifications - Turn this ON to receive alerts when your live encoder is left ON but no incoming source stream is detected. We'll send a notification after detecting no incoming stream at 30 minutes and 180 minutes. Notifications will only be sent to each individual account where these notifications are enabled.
  • Custom SSO Errors - Turn this ON to receive alerts when there are custom SSO failures. Notifications will only be sent to each individual account where these notifications are enabled.
