SlingPlayer for DISH Anywhere

Doesn't install endless loop. Not happy:(

Per usual Dish Network SCREWED THIS UP. I am on vacation. When I left Dishanywhere was functioning perfectly. It will not work at all with the latest plugin. Thank Dish! I thought all of these "Dishanywhere" nightmares were supposed to end once I upgraded to the Hopper. Stop trying to fix something that's not broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!! According to the warning in this dialog box which says that the latest plugin is not compatible with my Win 8.1 installation shows that a NPAPI plugin has to be installed on the machine for it to work... Well I researched that and found this: NPAPI Plugins Leveraging HTML and JavaScript makes developing new extensions really easy, but what if you have existing legacy or proprietary code that you want to reuse in your extension? You can bundle an NPAPI plugin with your extension, allowing you to call into native binary code from JavaScript. Warning NPAPI is being phased out. Consider using alternatives. NPAPI is a really big hammer that should only be used when no other approach will work. Code running in an NPAPI plugin has the full permissions of the current user and is not sandboxed or shielded from malicious input by Google Chrome in any way. You should be especially cautious when processing input from untrusted sources, such as when working with content scripts or XMLHttpRequest. Because of the additional security risks NPAPI poses to users, extensions that use it will require manual review before being accepted in the Chrome Web Store. Details How to develop an NPAPI plugin is outside the scope of this document. See Mozilla's NPAPI plugin reference for information on how to do that. Once you have an NPAPI plugin, follow these steps to get your extension using it. Add a section to your extension's manifest.json that describes where to find the plugin, along with other properties about it: { "name": "My extension", ... "plugins": [ { "path": "extension_plugin.dll" } ], ... } The "path" property specifies the path to your plugin, relative to the manifest file. The "public" property specifies whether your plugin can be accessed by regular web pages; the default is false, meaning only your extension can load the plugin. Add "public": true to make your plugin accessible on regular web pages and content scripts. But be careful - any web page will then be able to call into your plugin. Create an HTML file that loads your plugin by mime-type. Assuming your mime-type is "application/x-my-extension": <embed type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId"> <script> var plugin = document.getElementById("pluginId"); var result = plugin.myPluginMethod(); // call a method in your plugin console.log("my plugin returned: " + result); </script> This can be inside a background page or any other HTML page used by your extension. If your plugin is "public", you can even use a content script to programmatically insert your plugin into a web page. Security considerations Including an NPAPI plugin in your extension is dangerous because plugins have unrestricted access to the local machine. If your plugin contains a vulnerability, an attacker might be able to exploit that vulnerability to install malicious software on the user's machine. Instead, avoid including an NPAPI plugin whenever possible. Marking your NPAPI plugin "public" increase the attack surface of your extension because the plugin is exposed directly to web content, making it easier for a malicious web site to manipulate your plugin. Instead, avoid making your NPAPI plugin public whenever possible. Content available under the CC-By 3.0 license T
