Streaming Video: Tips for Instructors: Digital Theatre Plus
METHOD 1: LINK DIRECTLY TO DIGITAL THEATRE PLUS CONTENT
Digital Theatre Plus (DT+) uses a different authentication system than our other databases (Shibboleth/SAML vs. EZproxy). Therefore, linking to specific content requires a slightly different approach.
Here's the basic, standard URL template which you will need to customize:
Simply replace the portion noted above (ITEM_URL_GOES_HERE) with the direct link to a specific DT+ video, audio, or document.
Example:
If you want to link directly to the video of the short play "Rage"...
1. Display the desired item in your web browser.
2. Copy the URL displayed in your browser's location or address box:
https://edu.digitaltheatreplus.com/content/productions/rage
3. Paste that URL into the middle portion of the template given above, like so:
https://digitaltheatre.proxy.cirrusidentity.com/saml2/idp/SSOService.php?
spentityid=https://auth.digitaltheatreplus.com&RelayState=https://edu.
digitaltheatreplus.com/content/productions/rage&IDPList=
https://idp.csusb.edu/idp/shibboleth
4. The entire thing is the customized link to copy and paste into your website.
Try out the finished link to "Rage."
Tip: Most DT+ videos are broken out into smaller sections for more convenient linking, for example to acts, major speeches, and so on. Scroll down on the main production page to find these.
