I'm pleased to announce the release of the VLC player plug-in for the Foxsat HDR's web interface. Your Freesat SD recordings can now be streamed directly from the HDR into your web browsers window.
First of all I'd like to give credit and my thanks to adrianf36 for providing and beta testing the 'hooks' into the web interface which enable the player functionality from the media browser page. My thanks also go to Partridge and REPASSAC for beta testing the plug-in on a variety of browsers and operating systems.
Obviously, since the plug-in uses VLC for playback, a prerequisite is that VLC with the appropriate browser plug-in is installed on your PC.
A full user guide is provided via the Documentation link on the main page but using the plug-in is very simple.
Once installed, an additional 'Play' button becomes available in the 'Media Details' pop-up window after selecting a compatible file type. Please note that the player only supports unencrypted .ts video files and mp3 audio files. The 'Play' button will not be visible for any other file type.
Clicking the 'Play' button will launch the player in the Web Interface:
You will then be presented with a number of playback options within the player window.
That's it then. I hope you enjoy this latest addition to the web interface.
My regards to all here on AVForums.
