Remote TOI

The TOI3 interface is based on JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest, and it is possible to access TOI3 from a remote host if one so wishes. The remote host can be any IP-enabled host that runs an XMLHttpRequest/JavaScript-enabled environment, such as

• another set-top box,
• a PC, or
• a smart phone.

For security reasons, remote TOI3 access is only enabled if the boot image build includes the kreatv-option-remote-toi IIP. Here is how to use the remote TOI access feature:

Until this feature has been completed with appropriate client authentication mechanisms in place, the kreatv-option-remote-toi IIP is provided as a TECHNICAL PREVIEW and can only be used with development STBs.

1. Include kreatv-option-remote-toi in the boot image configuration.
2. From the remote host, bootstrap TOI3 like you normally would but use the external address of the STB rather than "localhost", for example:

   
   function createToiInstance() {
     var bootstrapUrl = "http://192.168.1.26:8000/toi/toi.js";
     ...
