We are a Milestone Enterprise 2018 customer with an in-house project seeking some guidance from the experienced users of this group. We have existing video decoder devices behind TV’s throughout our organization in offices, conference rooms, hallways, etc. which display varied content for wayfinding, general info and various media content. These decoders have a basic HTML rendering engine onboard which allows us to create HTML pages to be displayed. These devices do not permit plugins or apps so all we have to work with is basic HTML.
What are the best ways to approach designing a web page with video streams sourced from Milestone? Could source/embed low resolution streams from the mobile server?
Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated. 
Hi Charles,
I see two different paths to go further:
- Try to work with Milestone DLNA server.
It is designed to work exactly with TVs (and any other UPnP compatible devices).
The drawbacks are that you can only display a single live video stream on full screen and there is no any security in the DLNA protocol. For the second if you are in the internal network, it is not a problem (LAN could be configured in highly sophisticated way)
- Try to implement your own “web client”.
Starting from 2018 R1 milestone offers MIP SDK Mobile for almost all the platforms, including Web. The easiest way to understand what is it and how to deal with video streams is look at the provided together with the Mobile Server (MoS) samples. I’ll recommend you the latest MoS version - 2018 R3 (12.3) as it has the richest set of samples.
“http://<MoS_address_and_port>/XPMobileSDK/Samples/Video/videoSample.html” is a good starting point.
