I can watch Xfinity CNN and MSNBC on my Win7 desktop. &nbsp;However there are limitations.<br />
<br />
I can save MSNBC and CNN in the &nbsp;Chrome browser to make switching easier. &nbsp;But the volume is adjusted to maximum when switching. &nbsp;In addition, &nbsp;I have two screen choices, minimized and full screen. &nbsp;Also when switching, a new authorization is run instead of saving the previous authorization allowing for faster switching.<br />
<br />
Is there an application plug in that would control the video and audio settings in IE and Chrome?<br />
<br />
Xfinity requires authorization verification before access is granted. &nbsp;That eliminates external devices from access. &nbsp;So we need a browser like Chrome or IE to permit access to Xfinity.net and login capability that Comcast will recognize. <br />
<br />
Will Netflex permit Win7 &nbsp;authorization form an application that is not run on a browser?<br />
NetFlex will run on a SmartTV from its own app and also on an Ipad Netflex app.<br />
<br />
Comcast cooperated with multiple apps with Apple for the Ipads and Iphones. &nbsp;Wonder why no help for Win7? &nbsp; Microsoft couldn't or wouldn't allow?<br />
<br />
I wonder if Apple has an app for this to support the Macintosh and Apple laptop systems?<br />
<br />
Hope you can help,<br />

Watching Internet Streaming Video in Win7

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
