Downloading the client application

Материал из SmartPlayer

Situation Description

To simplify user interaction with the SmartPlayer platform, the ability to download the client application distribution directly from the user's personal account was added. The same functionality is now available from the licensing personal account as well.
These solutions will simplify and streamline the process of installing distributions.

Principle of Operation

The user now has the ability to use the functionality to download the client application distribution within:

  1. The user's personal account
  2. The licensing personal account

The download process is the same in both cases and differs only in the location from which the distribution is being installed.

Downloading via the User's Personal Account

To download the client application via the personal account, the user needs to log into the SmartPlayer personal account.
Next, they should go to the "Distributions" section by scrolling down the personal account page.

Example of the "Distributions" section in the personal account

Once the new window opens, the user needs to find the "Download Distribution" button at the top left.

After clicking this button, the user will see a list of configurable parameters required for downloading the distribution. The list of mandatory parameters for configuration includes:

  • Version - manually enter the version of the distribution (use a period as the delimiter)
  • Download Type - allows the user to choose the type of download they need: a completely new distribution (distribution) or an update of an existing one (update)
  • Description - allows the user to manually enter additional information related to the distribution being downloaded
  • Platform - allows the user to select the desired platform from the list of supported platforms
  • Distribution File - allows the user to attach the distribution file from their device that needs to be downloaded

Downloading via the Licensing Personal Account

There is an alternative method for downloading the client application using the licensing personal account. To download the client application using the alternative method, log into the licensing personal account.
The next step is to select the desired company and click the "More Details" button.

Example of the "More Details" button in the licensing personal account

On the company page, the user needs to click the "Download Distribution" button in the middle of the page.
