IP broadcast receiver apparatus
There is provided an IP broadcast receiver apparatus capable of, even when the input of a stream is delayed, determining whether a stream is to be inputted later and displaying a picture when a stream is inputted. When the content providing side makes a request to set a streamstatus attribute to “play” in a display using BML, the IP broadcast receiver apparatus determines whether channel information has been acquired from an IP broadcast server. The IP broadcast receiver apparatus sets the streamstatus attribute to “play” if channel information has been acquired from the IP broadcast server and sets the streamstatus attribute to “stop” if channel information has not been acquired from the IP broadcast server.
1. An IP broadcast receiver apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit configured to receive a request; and
a controller, wherein, in response to the request to set a streamstatus attribute to “play” is made from a content providing side in a display using BML, the controller is configured to:
determine whether channel information has been acquired from an IP broadcast server,
set the streamstatus attribute to “play” in response to channel information being acquired from the IP broadcast server, and
set the streamstatus attribute to “stop” in response to channel information not being acquired from the IP broadcast server.
2. A method comprising:
producing a display using BML;
receiving a request to set a streamstatus attribute to “play” from a content providing side;
determining whether channel information has been acquired from an IP broadcast server;
setting the streamstatus attribute to “play” in response to channel information being acquired; and
setting the streamstatus attribute to “stop” in response to channel information not being acquired.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, such that when the instructions are read and executed by a processor, the processor is configured to perform the method according to claim 2 .
4. An IP broadcast receiver apparatus comprising:
a producing unit configured to produce a display using BML;
a receiving unit configured to receive a request to set a streamstatus attribute to “play” from a content providing side;
a determining unit configured to determine whether channel information has been acquired from an IP broadcast server; and
a setting unit configured to set the streamstatus attribute to “play” in response to channel information being acquired and to set the streamstatus attribute to “stop” in response to channel information not being acquired.
