SVG Portal Application

The SVG portal application is an SVG browser using Ekioh/SVG as browser engine. The application is called "SVG" below.

Access to IP-STB Services in SVG

The KreaTV supports SVG and JavaScript standards. For portal designers, there is a specific API called TOI/JS which gives portals access to a number of services in the KreaTV platform. Through this API, the portal developer can get access to all KreaTV platform services in order to provide control over for instance video playback and configuration.

In order to access KreaTV services, a specific TOI/JS npruntime plugin needs to be loaded into the browser. This is done using the <foreignObject> element. Following section will show how to load TOI plugin.

Enabling Javascript in SVG

• SVG only supports TOI/JS version 2.
• In order to get TOI/JS support in SVG, the following steps must be taken:
  1. The kreatv-option-toi2 IIP must be included in the SVG boot image
  2. The HTML Portal App IIP (kreatv-app-webkit-portal) must not be included in the SVG boot image
  3. The TOI plugin must be loaded into the portal:

<foreignObject requiredExtensions="application/x-motorola-toi" hidden="true"></foreignObject>

• SVG handles fewer keys than Mozilla. For example, SVG does not handle the BACK button which means there is no history handling by default.
• ToiInput and ToiKeyEvent are not supported in SVG. Portals are instead supposed to use the standard events for key input. It is also assumed that portals do not need to override the key handling built-in into SVG.
