Local Configuration
Overview
When the
Start Mode
is configured for
Local
, the STB will display static listings and previews
of multiple channels on the network. These listing are hard-coded in an xml file. This xml file
is used for Local mode installations only; it does not apply when operating in MCS mode or Local-
Fullscreen mode.
(To select
Start Mode
in the web-based STB configuration application, go to
Configuration > Video > Setup > Start Mode
.) Examples of the local xml file that contains
local mode program information are shown on the following pages. This xml file will need to
be modified for each network installation so that IP addresses, port numbers, encoder types
and program listings correspond to actual network settings available onsite.
When the
Start Mode
is set to
Local
, the STB user interface is defined by the local
administrator. The default location of the local user interface is on the STB in
/wfs/localUI/
stbLocalUITemplate.htm
. This HTML file and the other Javascript, XML, CSS, and image
files in
/wfs/localUI
are provided as a sample user interface that can be customized for your
specific requirements. (To change the location of the UI, go to
Configuration > Video >
Setup > Local UI Location
.) The window below shows the interface page
(
stbLocalUITemplate.htm
) after it has been modified with stream data.
