This topic describes how to show TV source video in your application, using picture-in-picture.
TVAudioControl API
TVWindow API
You can use picture-in-picture (PiP) to display TV source video, such as a TV channel or HDMI input, on your application.
All Samsung TVs since 2015 support PiP. PiP is also supported on the TV emulator since Tizen TV Extension 2.1.2.
To use the TVWindow, and TVAudioControl APIs, the application has to request permission by adding the following privileges to the "config.xml" file:
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/tv.window"/> <tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/tv.audio"/>
show()
tizen.tvwindow.show( function(success){ console.log('success'); }, function(fail){ console.log('fail'); }, ['0px', '0px', '50%', '540px'], 'MAIN', );
The PiP window is created on top of and covers HTML elements.
hide()
tizen.tvwindow.hide( function(success){ console.log('success'); }, function(fail){ console.log('fail'); } );
The audio volume of the PiP window can be controlled using the volume keys on the remote control, or using the TVAudioControl API:
tizen.tvaudiocontrol.setVolumeUp();
To change the video source of the PiP window, use the setSource() method of the TVWindow API:
setSource()
tizen.systeminfo.getPropertyValue( 'VIDEOSOURCE', function(videoSource) { console.log('success'); var connectedVideoSources = videoSource.connected; for (var i = 0; i < connectedVideoSources.length; i++) { if (connectedVideoSources[i].type === 'HDMI') { tizen.tvwindow.setSource( connectedVideoSources[i], function(success){ console.log('success'); }, function(fail){ console.log('fail'); }); break; } } }, function(fail){ console.log('fail'); } );
