Access to IP-STB services

JavaScript and TOI

The KreaTV IP-STB supports web standards and JavaScript standards. The portal code can interact with the KreaTV platform through a JavaScript API called TOI3, which gives the portal access to a number of services in the KreaTV IP-STB platform. Through this API, the portal developer can get access to all KreaTV platform services in order to provide control over e.g., video playback and configuration.

When TOI3 has been initialized, each platform service accessible via TOI is available as a property in the global toi object. This provides, for example, toi.mediaService and toi.informationService.

Only whitelisted portal pages can make requests to the TOI3 API. For more information about configuration of portal URLs, see Portal URLs

The sidebar category Platform Services contains a description of each service. Detailed information on the API used to communicate with each service is found in the References tab.

Command line

If the boot image running on the STB contains SSH, it is possible to make an ssh connection to the STB and get a command line prompt. The toish command allows you to access and interact with various platform services. This is very useful for development and debugging work.
