What do you mean by start or stop the DMP? There is no way to turn the DMP on or off via a mib. It is possible however to stop all applications on a dmp using:

https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<DMP_IP_ADDRESS>/set_param?init.BROWSER_CMD=file:///LOGO/index.html&init.TVZILLA_URL=&init.STARTUP_URL=&mib.save=1


You may also reboot the DMP using:

https://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<DMP_IP_ADDRES>/set_param?mng.reboot=1

Is it possible to switch from Video to Browser and vice versa using a URL string like the one you posted above?

You do not need to manually switch from video to browser when using the DMP. If you create a playlist that has an asset that points to an HTML page, and then to a video, both will be able to play without any manual configuration change.

Does this answer your question, or were you trying to achieve something else?

Hashir is right, you dont typically switch from browser to video. Video is just an asset in a playlist

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Im actually trying to figure out the hookstrings that are used in the flash file of the dmp's.  The buttons at the top left that say Video and Browser.  I would like to click on a URL and put the DMP in Video mode instead of logging into the GUI.  I need to provide URL hookstrings to a Crestron box so that the box can send a mass HTML action to all of my DMP's.  Is this possible?
