HTTP Recognizer

images/download/thumbnails/57216050/httpr_ico.png

The STV_HTTP Recognizer plug-in recognizes a HTTP link in text geometry when placed on a text container.

In some cases, messages coming from social media networks such as Twitter or Facebook contain links to other sites. This plug-in hides the link from the message as these links provide no meaningful information for broadcasts. The plug-in can additionally store the value of this HTTP link in a DataPool or shared memory variable.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> SocialTV
