Voyager Plugin Variants

The Voyager variant plugins are:

A list of the library dependencies for each plugin variant is in the Resource Profile Estimates and Library Dependencies appendix.

By default, Voyager is configured to launch phplay on HREFs, but launch the Voyager variant plugins on <embed src> tags. Some Voyager plugins provide a simple streaming mode. Plugins that support streaming can be switched from Stream Mode to Stream-As-File Mode via the mpsettings files STREAM_TYPE field.

Here are two examples that demonstrate how to launch the Voyager variant plugins with <embed src> tags. In the first file, AlienSong.mpg is launched with fixed dimensions: 

<html>
<body>
Alien Song<br>
Fixed dimensions<br>
<embed src="AlienSong.mpg" width=400 height=300>
</embed>
</body>
</html>

In the second file, AlienSong.mpg is launched with a scalable display and being told to loop repeatedly: 

<html>
<body>
<br>
Alien Song<br>
Scalable display<br>
<embed src=AlienSong.mpg width=50% height=50% loop="true">
</embed>
</body>
</html>

The Voyager plugin variants for the phplay plugins use the Netscape Plugin Interface (as defined in the Voyager SDK):
