Web Admin
|
|
| The Web Admin Interface allows you to access every option and feature in Beyond TV 3.5. Its primary purpose is to make configuration changes to Beyond TV, but you can also watch live TV and recorded shows remotely using this interface. As it is accessible through a web-browser, you can access the Web Admin interface on the machine running Beyond TV or remotely over a home network or the internet. See the instructions below for launching the Web Admin interface.
|
| · | Using the Web Admin icon on the Navigator Interface.
|
|
|
| From the Windows Start Menu, launch Beyond TV by going to Start > Programs > SnapStream Media > Beyond TV 3 > Beyond TV. On the right on the Navigator window, select the Web Admin icon.

| · | The Beyond TV icon in the Windows Taskbar
|
|
|
| Using your mouse, right-click on the Beyond TV icon and select Web Admin.
|
|
|
|
| · | Using the local web-browser
|
|
|
| In the browser's address field, type http://localhost:8129. Provided that the Beyond TV server is running, the main configuration page will open. If you get a browser error indicating that the server cannot be found, make sure that Beyond TV is running by going to Start > Programs > SnapStream Media > Beyond TV 3. If you get an error indicating that Beyond TV is already running and you are still unable to reach the Web Admin, contact the SnapStream Support Desk.
