NOTE:
To test if the URL works from a browser, use https://www.korbyt.com/tizen/sssp_config.xml , instead of the standard https://www.korbyt.com/tizen/.
Using the standard URL used on the Samsung player on a browser will give a 404 error.

The browser should download an XML file that looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<widget>
<ver>3.6.0</ver>
<size>325377</size>
<widgetname>korbytplayer</widgetname>
<webtype>tizen</webtype>
</widget>

The display grabs the widgetname and appends the .wgt extension and downloads the actual player.
To test if the URL is working from a browser use: https://www.korbyt.com/tizen/sssp_10/sssp_config.xml
