Hello, there’s still one thing that I can’t find - how to add/remove server instances from the “Host” dropdown list? Is it stored somewhere? I use several machines in the studio and some of them are present in dropdown, some are not there.

It is not configurable. And it is not stored anywhere. It is not populating values by reading something in network. It is simply a possible list.
What we can do is name or give IP to your PC as in the list.

I installed the CasperMediaPlaybackSetup but it is not responding. I tried to run as administrator from its location “C:\Program Files (x86)\Doordarshan\CasparMediaPlaybackSetup\flash.ocx” but it asks for program to open the OCX File. What are the program needed to run the Simple Video Player?? Thank You!!
