iMHP Client Environment Requirements
Internet Browser
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x, Safari 3.1.x, Google Chrome, IE 6.x, IE 7
about IE: it does not work properly with VideoLan Plug-in so you will have to open Videolan externally and then apply the connection params provided by the application.
- Frames, JavaScript & Ajax support.
Operating Systems
No problems detected with Linux, XP or Vista, as far as you use the correct Browser and Videolan versions
Video & Audio
iMHP adopts VideoLan to stream the video coming from the STB.
- Watching the video with the Videolan plugin inside the iMHP app: To be sure to receive the video properly in the plugin it is very important to install this Videolan version: v0.8.6i. You can download it here: Be sure to install the mozilla plugin
- Watching the video with Videolan outside the iMHP app: For this purpose you can install the latest version of Videolan, 0.9.8a.
- UDP or HTTP: iMHP lets you decide at any time whether to receive the video/audio over UDP or HTTP.
- UDP: This is the most efficient way to stream the video/audio. Check your firewall to let you receive the packets. Default port 1234.
- HTTP: In this case you will get the content accessing by http to the iMHP Server.
HTTP Server
During the mhp course all the STBs used will be plugged to Internet, so:
- you will be able to upload your Xlet classes to the STB providing your HTTP Server URL location where they are placed.
- your Xlets will be able to get content from the web, for example residing on your own HTTP Server.
