URL Schema
Haivision Play Pro allows the use of custom URLs to play content from HMP and non-HMP sources and stream content to a receiver.
Note
For help setting up and watching SRT streams, Haivision has created Playmaker, a free online tool for configuring and sharing SRT Caller mode URLs and QR codes.
To configure advanced Play Pro parameters, use the following syntax.
Schema
https://play.haivision.com/<action>?<param[=value]>[&<param=value>]
Note
Everything after "<action>?" in the URL must be URL-encoded. To easily URL encode text, use a website such as: https://www.url-encode-decode.com/
Action
- load – Load a source or session from HMP.
- play – Start the player.
- stream – Start the encoder.
- lineup – Add an import lineup server or file to Play Mobile Services.
- service – Add an import HMP file to Play Mobile Services.
- enterprise – Switch to Enterprise local mode and add an imported HMP file to Play Mobile Services.

| StreamID | StreamID string | Only used in Caller mode. 512 characters maximum. |
| LocalPort | Port number between 1-65535 | The port number to use locally. Setting it to "0" is the same as not including this parameter. |
