Chapter 6 Using IP/TV in a Web Browser

Using IP/TV as a Plug-In

Refer to the Cisco IP/TV Administration and Configuration Guide for detailed information on how to create and customize an IP/TV plug-in or helper application.

The following sections describe how to launch and run an IP/TV plug-in, and how to access the IP/TV sample plug-in.

Launching the Plug-In

To launch IP/TV Viewer as a plug-in, open your browser and enter the URL of the plug-in. Ask your system administrator for the exact location and name of the browser plug-in web page. For example, the URL http://<mywebserver>/yourplugin.htm links to the web page named yourplugin.htm, which is located on the web server named mywebserver.

Running the Plug-In

After you launch the plug-in, the browser web page with the embedded IP/TV plug-in window appears. If your system administrator has not changed the default toolbar parameter settings, your plug-in will look similar to Figure 6-1.

Note Figure 6-1is an example of an on-demand program plug-in window.
