Pando Developer Tools

Pando provides a stream delivery mechanism that can be used to play files using a media player while it is being downloaded.

This mechanism is deprecated in favor of the Pando REST API, but is supported for compatibility.

There are two versions of this mechanism.

• pando:stream starts downloading the package in streaming mode, downloading the package sequentially to disk.
• pando:streamL starts downloading the package in streaming mode, opening the downloaded stream.

For example of pando:stream and pando:streamL:


pando:stream?http://cache.pando.com/soapservices/Package/package.pando?
id=5A4A7B2AE83E0AA3DAF066C28703C6F3132B0633&
key=3557F2AAD6CEAEC0FB6B1F1E19C7531A116A1C2B209554FC9343F2A6ED9DAC94


and


pando:streamL?http://cache.pando.com/soapservices/Package/package.pando?
id=5A4A7B2AE83E0AA3DAF066C28703C6F3132B0633&
key=3557F2AAD6CEAEC0FB6B1F1E19C7531A116A1C2B209554FC9343F2A6ED9DAC94


The behavior when opening a stream is:

• Does not open the Pando GUI.
• Starts downloading the package.
• If opened with pando:streamL, opens the package as a stream.

Supported Versions
pando:stream links are supported in Pando version 1.7.0 and newer.
