Hello everyone,
According to my profile I haven't posted here, though it's a most useful resource. Here's the story.
I have two HDR T2's and installed CF years back when they were new. What a delight to browse to a recorder over the network here and watch a recording whilst not in the same room. This was back in Winddoze 7 days.
Fast forward. Just retired. Daughter wants to watch from her bedroom, and now has a windoze10 laptop. I use mac. Had to update the cf to get access, but all is well, and the Webif is excellent.
Except, Browsing to a file and using the 'play' button gets 'plugin not supported' in both w10 under chrome, firefox 52, IE(whatever) and Edge.
In OSX I have run with Safari, Firefox, Pale Moon, Firefox ESR at the earliest release, in hopes the vlc plugin would work. No success with anything on either platform.
I have installs of VLC on each machine, but it's not clear to me how to configure vlc to connect directly across the network, and reading posts on this subject I suspect that it won't be able to decrypt the .ts file and directly play it if I could.
I wonder if someone could give me some pointers to something which can read the file, - any preferred tools? sadly, for W10 rather than OS X.
Thanks
