App development

If you are creating an application for webOS, keep the following in mind (see below).

Disable history API

In your appinfo.json, disable the back button on the remote control to use the history API:

Copy

Copied

{
  "...": "...",
  "disableBackHistoryAPI": true
}

Handle back button from player

The player will handle the back buttons internally. If you click the back button from your remote when the player is in a "neutral" state, the player will emit the flowplayer.webos.events.EXIT_FULLSCREEN event that you can handle in your app:

Copy

Copied

player.on(flowplayer.webos.events.EXIT_FULLSCREEN, () => { // Exit from videoplayer requested
  window.webOS.platformBack() // shut down app
})
