rdkbrowser2 is the browser application based on WPE, it is integrated with following components which enables it with new features compared with legacy rdkbrowser:

  • injectedBundle : Provides integration Layer for Service manager and Player inside WPE, adds ability to send messages between JavaScript & other application.
  • pxcore-libnode : pxcore - Provides a lightweight Frame-buffer library, pxscene - 2D scene graph API library.
  • wpe-webkit : WebKit porting which is used with Wayland.
  • rdk-logger : Provides console and file level message logging feature to RDK component.
  • westeros : Wayland compositor library that allows applications to create their own Wayland displays, which allows nesting and embedding of third party application

Note: Currently a working injectedbundle is not available with CMF release hence servicemanager functionality such as native support for communicating with other RDK components is disabled for community released version of rdkbrowser2.

    thanks pavan...so would it required to set specific environment variables? Any dependencies on compositor - if so which compositor

  3. Vivek Arumugam

    there is a wrapper script in the box called rdkbrowser2.sh, it takes care of starting the westeros compositor and sets required environment.

    So, just call rdkbrowser2.sh http://www.google.com

    "Note: Currently a working injectedbundle is not available with CMF release"

    Is that means the current version of injectedbundle in RDKV release not work?

    1. Deepthi Suseelan

      To disable CORS:

      ssh to the box, then create /opt/SetEnv.sh with following contents

      export RDKBROWSER2_ENABLE_OVERRIDES=1


      and /tmp/rdkbrowser2_overrides.ini

      [http]
webSecurityEnabled=false


      and restart rdkbrowser2 service
