### Genetec Web Player Samples (`/Genetec Web Player/`)



Hosting samples for the **Genetec Web Player** (GWP), the JavaScript video player that ships with the Media Gateway. Unlike the SDK samples, these projects do not connect through the .NET Security Center SDK; they demonstrate three different application shells that load `gwp.js` from a Media Gateway and supply it with opaque camera tokens.



**Hosting models demonstrated:**

- WPF desktop application that hosts GWP in an embedded `WebView2` control, with token retrieval performed natively in .NET
- ASP.NET Core Minimal API application that serves a static page and proxies token requests through a server-side endpoint
- ASP.NET Core Razor Pages application that adds production-ready CSP nonce support and server-rendered configuration on top of the Minimal API pattern



**Prerequisites differ from the SDK samples**: GWP samples require a reachable Media Gateway, a trusted (or development) Media Gateway certificate, and CORS configuration that allows the hosting page's origin. See each sample's README for details.
