Using IP/TV as a Plug-In

There are two ways to incorporate IP/TV into your web environment, each requiring varying levels of customization on your part. The two methods are using IP/TV Viewer as a browser plug-in and as a helper application.

Using IP/TV Viewer as a plug-in lets you watch an IP/TV program that is embedded directly in your browser web page.

Note To run a browser plug-in, IP/TV Content Manager must be running in your network. You need to have IP/TV Viewer installed on your system with plug-ins. Note also that the IP/TV Viewer demo CD has an HTML page that you can load into your browser that works with the demo installation.

Using IP/TV Viewer as a helper application lets you launch IP/TV Viewer directly from your browser so that it runs in its own window. Most users create a web page that automatically launches the plug-in.
