Chapter 6 Using IP/TV in a Web Browser
Using QuickTime as a Plug-In
Using the IP/TV Sample Plug-In
If desired, you can use the sample plug-in that comes with IP/TV, which is useful
if you want to launch and run IP/TV Viewer solely from a browser without any
customization. To launch IP/TV sample plug-in, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open your browser.
Step 2 In your browser enter the following URL:
http://mywebserver/iptvfiles/iptv.htm
where mywebserver is the name of your IP/TV Content Manager.
The IP/TV Viewer window plug-in appears with the title IP/TV Web Video.
Note To display a list of all programs on IP/TV Content Manager, set
showSurfToolbar to TRUE in the sample HTML page.
Using QuickTime as a Plug-In
IP/TV 3.5 supports the Apple QuickTime Player plug-in. This feature helps you
watch IP/TV programs without the need to install IP/TV Viewer. If you do not
have IP/TV Viewer installed on the device, you can access the web-based program
guide through the browser using the IP/TV Content Manager URL.
When you click the Play button corresponding to a program in the program guide,
IP/TV Content Manager searches your device for IP/TV Viewer or the QuickTime
Player. If neither is present, IP/TV Content Manager prompts you to download the
QuickTime plug-in from Apple.
Accessing Question Manager from the QuickTime Plug-In
QuickTime users can access the web-based Question Manager to interact with the
program moderator. You can click the Click Here to Ask a Question to the
Presenter link in the plug-in window to access Question Manager.
