9.3 SERVER REQUIREMENTS
The STBi3 may be configured to fetch a channel list and supporting
elements.
The channel list file and others (icon files, etc) must be served by a web
server on a network accessible to the STBi3 units.
That server (LAMP, WAMP, whatever…) should be configured to serve a
directory that contains the files that will be used to control the channel list
of the STBi3 units.
If the Internet is accessible, a Google drive could even be used. The STBi3
units only fetch the channel guide files at power-up or upon direct request
by the user. At all other times the STBi3 units use locally cached copies of
the channel guide information.
Easy Test:
Point a browser
at the directory that will be
used and make sure the
supporting information is
visible while on the same
network as the STBi3 units.
In the case shown, the
server QA20 is serving a
directory called “ipsettop”
to the same network as the
STBi3.
If a browser can see the
files, the STBi3 units will be
able to see the files.
All file accesses by the
STBi3 device are via HTTP
file requests.
