Greetings,

I am developing a Plugin for Milestone and would like to open a video (https link, but I can manage to have it as a file) in the Smart Client upon a certain event. I open it in the default browser at the moment, but would like it to be embedded into a Smart Client camera panel.

I could not find a class which satisfies my needs in the SDK documentation, do you have any idea of how I could implement this ?

Thank you by advance.

Edit :

I found out it is possible to open a web page within the Smart Client. This would do the trick, but still cannot find how to do just this programmatically.

I think you need to develop a ViewItem plugin.

To see what I mean take for example the Smart Client Video Replay sample, this sample can display video because it creates its own view item. What I envision is that you develop your own ViewItem and lets it display video from the sources you need (from outside XProtect).

Smart Client Insert Camera plugin sample opens a web page. If you go for a solution with a web page the sample might lead you.
