By default Clipstream™ Live will allow viewers of your stream to watch the applet forever by just leaving the web page containing the Clipstream™ Live applet open. However, you may want to have the applet stop after a certain time so that inactive users don't use up your bandwidth.

Find the applet code for your page
1. Go to the HTML page where you have set up your applet.

2. Open it in your web page editing application

- or -

Right click in a clear space on the web page in your browser and select "View Source".

3. Once you see the HTML source code, scroll down or search for the "<applet " tag. Make sure it is the Clipstream™ applet not another applet you are viewing.

Edit the applet code
Enter a new parameter called AutoLoop into the list of existing parameters in the Clipstream™ applet.

1. Create a new line within the applet tags.

2. Type out a new parameter that looks exactly like this (or cut and paste this line into your code):

<param name="AutoLoop" value="False">

The "false" value means that the Live video applet will stop updating after a few minutes. "true" means that the applet will continue streaming the live video until the page is closed by the viewer.

Include further instructions for your viewer
If you choose to have the video timeout, it is useful to include a warning for your viewer so that they will know to start the applet again if it stops.

For example:
This video will pause after a few minutes. To continue viewing, either refresh the page or press the play button again.

Save, upload and test the edited page
The page is now ready. Make any other changes you want to the page and then upload it to the server.

1. Save the edited page in your web editing program.

- or-

In Notepad save the page as an .html page. If you are replacing an existing page, save the document you are editing on top of it.

2. Upload the page to your webserver using an FTP program.

3. If you are editing an existing page, browse to it and refresh the page so that you can see your changes.

Note: The Clipstream™ Live application must be running for the applet to be tested.

4. View the source on the page to make sure that the new AutoLoop parameter is present.

5. Test the page by letting the Live applet run. After a few minutes the image will freeze. Click on the applet itself, the play button or refresh the page to continue viewing the live stream.
