Exporting Services

In Play Pro, users can export services (Local Lineups and HMPs) as links and files that can be imported on other devices with Play Pro installed.

Local Lineups can be exported via the process below and sent directly to users, or they can be hosted on a web server and distributed via Universal Link.

To export a service:

1. Tap the

   

   icon to open the side menu.
2. Select

   

    Manage Services.
   

   

   
   
   
3. On the Services screen, tap the

   

    icon next to the service you are exporting.
   

   

   
   
   
4. Tap

   

   Export.
   

   

   
   
   
5. (Optional) When exporting a Local Lineup, you have the option to edit the Name of the service and require a passphrase from anyone importing it. Toggle Enable Passphrase on and create a Passphrase.
   

   

   
   
   
6. When finished, tap the Export button.

The exported service can now be shared and imported by recipients with Play Pro installed. If you wish to make changes to an exported Local Lineup, the Lineup must be updated and exported again. For users who imported the previous version of the Lineup, it will not update the previous Lineup but will instead appear as a new Lineup in the recipient's app.

Universal Links

In addition to the above method, exported Local Lineup files can be hosted on a web server and distributed to users via Universal Link.

To export a Local Lineup via Universal Link:

1. Export the Lineup following the process above.
2. Host the file on a web server with public read access.

3. Using an online URL encoder, encode the URL of the server that hosts the lineup file.

   

   Note

   To easily URL encode text, use a website such as: https://www.url-encode-decode.com/

4. Append the encoded URL to the end of https://play.haivision.com/lineup?url= to create the Universal Link.
   The Universal Link will look like:

   CODE

   https://play.haivision.com/lineup?url=urlToServerThatIsUrlEncoded

   Where urlToServerThatIsUrlEncoded is the encoded URL that hosts the lineup file.

When users open the Universal Link, Play Pro opens and asks if they want to import the lineup. If a passphrase was used in the creation of the lineup, users will be prompted to enter it.

To make changes to the lineup, make the changes to the original lineup on your device, export with the same passphrase as before, and replace the old lineup file on the server with the new file. Play Pro checks for changes every hour or any time the app starts.

Note

Haivision recommends keeping a copy of the latest lineup file stored locally. In the event that the lineup on your device is lost, you can email the lineup file to your device and import again.
