I am looking after a possibility to decode an SRT-stream using the DataMiner “Web-” dashboard-component (i.e. standard HTML5-code instead of a embedding a third-party player).

This won’t be easy because SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) sends data over UDP, which web browsers for security reasons don’t support. Web apps can only send/receive data over HTTP(S). So if you want to show a stream in a web application, then you will have to use a stream that can be delivered over HTTP, for example HLS, MPEG-DASH or WebRTC. Or you will have to use a server application that transcodes the SRT-stream into something that’s compatible for web browsers. Currently, the videothumbnails page that can be used in the Dashboards app supports HLS.
