Credentials
The Credentials tab provides options for credentials used by the player when accessing resources from remote servers
that require authentication (e.g., direct reference, Client/Server mode, Pull Mode etc.). Note that the player only supports
basic and digest authentication mechanisms.
Configuring Network Credentials For Remote Servers
To configure network credentials to allow the IS-SPX Player to access a remote server:
1. On the Media Sources page in the Advanced tab, enter the server’s URI path in the Server URI field.
2. Enter the server’s Username, Password, and Realm into the corresponding fields.
3. If you need to add multiple servers, or if you need to specify multiple Username and Password for the same server
but for different realms, press the Add Server Row button to open a new row of fields.
4. When finished, press the Apply button to save your changes.
Network Watchdog: The Network Watchdog is activated if either the Minimum or Maximum
conditions are set to a value other than 0 (0s by default). Both parameters
can be configured using a time defined in seconds (e.g. 10s), minutes (e.g.
10m) or hours (e.g. 1h).
When activated, the player will reboot if one of the conditions is no longer
valid. Link-local (i.e. Zeroconf) addresses are not taken into account.
The watchdog may be used in case of using a 3G modem, as sometimes it's
necessary to reset the 3G dongle by doing a reboot of the player to restore a
lost connection. Please be aware that a quick succession of restarts will
cause the player to enter into Safe mode and even Recovery mode.

If a network storage path has any spaces in the path, these must be replaced with the
characters "%20" or the IS-SPX Player cannot find the media source.
