Platform Comments
Windows The Portal Server uses VBrick StreamPlayer software-based components
to decode video streams on the desktop. Depending on how your system
is configured, the Portal Server may need to download components to
your computer the first time you access the server. No download is
necessary for subsequent access. You must answer
Yes
to security requests
when prompted to download components. The Portal Server may require
the installation of up to five components. If you check the box
Always
trust content from VBrick Systems
any required components will be
automatically downloaded the next time they are needed. After a
download, you don't need to restart—just close the browser.
Macintosh The Portal Server may need to download components to your computer
the first time you access the server. If so, the Home page (see Figure 1)
displays a link prompting you to download components that are
appropriate for your computer. If you agree, these components are
automatically installed and no additional download is necessary for
subsequent access.
Firefox Firefox browser users will also be prompted to install additional
components the first time you launch a stream—if you are configured to
receive these download components. Links for the appropriate stream
types (WM, and/or H.264) will be displayed in the area where the
embedded player is normally displayed. These additional plugins must be
installed. You will also be required to install an additional plugin when you
use
Add Video
for the first time (if you have permission).
