Playing STR3EM Files
Step 1 – Open the STR3EM file.
If it’s free then the STR3EM Player will open and start playback (step 4).
If your file requires a KodeKey then please see the next step (2a).
Step 2a- If required, enter a purchase, rental, or membership KodeKey in the Access Panel. An Internet connection is required according to the list below:
1) Purchase KodeKey – an Internet connection is required only once to authorize a file.
2) Rental KodeKey – an Internet connection is required each time a file is played.
3) Membership Kodekey – an Internet connection is required each time a file is played.
(NOTE: The picture banner in the Access Panel may be clickable to a web page.)
Step 2b- If required, sign in with a Facebook account that has a minimum of 17 friends for a one-time machine authorization. Please see below for machine authorization management for up to 2 additional friends.
Step 3 – If required, load the KKEYCERT file given to you by your content provider.
Step 4- Playback will begin once the required steps are complete.
Machine Authorization Management
When you redeem a Purchase, Rental, or Membership KodeKey, STR3EM may ask you to log in to Facebook to create an authorization for your machine. STR3EM allows up to 2 additional users to authorize a machine (users must be listed as Facebook friends in the main user’s account). This is useful for family members that want to share purchased files. To play files from guest authorizations, an Internet connection is required and the guest user must be listed in the main user’s Facebook account friends list.
To manage your machine authorizations:
Step 1 – Open the STR3EM application and press the “Settings” button.
Step 2 – Press the “Set” button next to the user slot you wish to set a machine authorization for:
Main – This should be the main user of the machine and most of the files played should be from this user. An Internet connection is only required once to set the machine and does not require a connection to watch files purchased to this user. Rentals and Membership files will still require an Internet connection.
Guest 1 and 2 – Must be a Facebook friend of the Main user in order for an authorization to be set. An Internet connect is required to verify that users are still listed as Facebook friends to play files using these authorizations. If users are no longer friends, the Facebook Connect panel will be displayed for a manual log in required to play files from these users.
