MYTVOnline can hand eligible VOD to an installed external player through its External VOD player option. Use the exact edition’s controls and check the receiving app separately. Formuler’s written MYTVOnline 3 path is not precise enough to infer from its MYTVOnline 2 example.
Choose the item and receiving player
Record the MYTVOnline edition, the permitted VOD item and the intended external player/version. The receiving app must already be eligible for the actual device. This guide concerns a playback handoff, not an installation or a promise that every VOD format works in every player.
Keep the current internal playback result and any important track preference. A successful handoff may change the controls the viewer uses, so identify the required actions before making it the household default.
Use the documented edition route
The checked Formuler guide gives these controls.
| Edition | Written guide scope |
|---|---|
| MYTVOnline 2 | Menu > Settings > Player Options > External VOD player. |
| MYTVOnline 4 | Menu > Settings > App Settings > Profile Settings > Player Options > External VOD player. |
| MYTVOnline 3 | The shared heading includes MYTVOnline 3. Its steps name version 2. Confirm the current version 3 route with Formuler. |
Observe the handoff stage
Enable the supported option only if that is the intended setup. Open the chosen VOD poster and use Watch, then choose the intended external player. Record which app actually opens. If the route is absent or different, use the actual edition’s publisher guidance rather than repeatedly changing source settings.
Check the required playback actions in that receiving app: pause, selected tracks and a supported way back. Do not assume another player’s remote mapping or caption renderer follows MYTVOnline’s menu. The supplied media and external player each have their own capabilities.
Compare the receiving player
Use the same permitted title for both routes. Record the selected app and the features the viewer needs before keeping the external preference.
| Stage | Result to record |
|---|---|
| Handoff | The intended receiving app opens. |
| Playback | The chosen title starts with the required picture and sound. |
| Player controls | The actual pause, audio and subtitle controls work for the task. |
| Return | The viewer can return to MYTVOnline and restore the original preference. |
