Introduction

A transport stream that offers more than one program is called a Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). If you are looking to view a program from the MPTS using JS on H200, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to do so.

Prerequisites

Required H200 software version : 25.3.2310.7R or later.

Summary

Viewing a program from the MPTS using JS is a simple process that involves creating a player instance and setting the dataSource. By following the comprehensive guide provided in this article, you can easily view your favorite programs from the MPTS with ease.

Procedure

• Step 1: Create a Player Instance

The first step in viewing a program from the MPTS using JS is to create a player instance. This can be done using the following JS call:

    var plr = ENABLE.player.getInstance(0);

This will create a player instance that can be used to view the program.

• Step 2: Set the DataSource

The next step is to set the dataSource for the player instance. This can be done using the following JS call:

    plr.setSource("udp://<mcast>?prog_id=<pid>");

Here, <mcast> is the multicast address for the MPTS. For example, if the multicast address is 233.22.134.221:8110, then <mcast> would be 233.22.134.221:8110.

<pid> is the program number of the channel that you want to view. For instance, if the program number is 100, then <pid> would be 100.

• Step 3: View the Program from webview of default browser

Once you have created the player instance and set the dataSource, you can view the program from the MPTS via default browser.
