To validate lightning refapp on rdk 4.0 (rdk-generic-hybrid-image-raspberrypi) along with video playback, need to do some necessary code customizations/modifications in lightning refapp side for video player implementation provided by lightning-sdk framework and rdk library side for variable setting and url configurations.
Please follow the below instructions to validate lightning refapp on rdk-generic-hybrid-image.
Before you follow the steps below, make sure you have installed all the required prerequisites in your dev PC - Node.js , npm, Lightning-CLI
...
...
Code Block |
---|
$ npm install -g @lightningjs/cli |
reference image for Lightning-CLI install
...
...
pull code from source repo using
...
below command
Code Block |
---|
$ git clone https |
...
://github.com/ |
...
naseemshekh20/refapp.git |
goto refapp directory
Code Block |
---|
$ cd refapp |
checkout to branch refapp-vid-playback-validation-on-rdk-4.0
Code Block |
---|
$ git checkout refapp-vid-playback-validation-on-rdk-4.0 |
install the NPM dependencies by running
...
below command
Code Block |
---|
$ npm install |
run copyAssets.sh command to create static folder and copy images, json files etc
Code Block |
---|
$./copyAssets.sh |
...
run below command for testing in browser
Code Block |

once npm install complete, you will get message at the end "Do you want us to automatically check for old Lightning-SDK imports and update them in your project files? y/n
press n and hit enter button because on pressing y it gets hanged or stuck, in this case press ctrl+c

Windows user can download and install Balena Etcher to write the Raspberry Pi SD card

$ ssh root@<<IP address>> # after login into box $ cd /lib/rdk/ |
...
2. add startup_app_conf variable into referenceApp.sh config file, if referenceApp.sh file is not available in /lib/rdk then refer method 2 below to validate refapp.
Code Block |
---|
startup_app_conf=/opt/residentapp.conf |
3. add below line to avoid loading default app
Code Block |
---|
url="http://192.168.0.106:8080/" echo $url |
4. replace exting url https://px-apps.sys.comcast.net/lightning_apps/SwitcherApp/dist/index.html in /opt/residentapp.conf with lighting app url which is hosted on server
for example your server providing url http://192.168.56.1:8080
5. reboot the box
Validated on rdk-generic-hybrid-wpe-image_rdk-next image, download image link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_VgFDk_lRWLoMwv0JKQrZ4HUifN-F6Qa/view?usp=sharing
step 1: login to box $ ssh root@<your box ip>
step 2: copy refapp build into /opt/www
step3: $ cd /lib/rdk
step 4: $ vi residentApp.
...
sh
step 5: configure refapp url into residentApp.sh > find in residentApp.sh line "offlineApp="http://127.0.0.1:50050/lxresui/index.html" and replace with refapp url, Example: "offlineApp="http://127.0.0.1:50050/refapp/index.html"
Note: if you are downloading prebuild refapp from download link: build.zip after extract you will see build/build/<files>, you can copy build folder as it is and in this case url will be "offlineApp="http://127.0.0.1:50050/build/build/index.html".
step 6: After reboot app come up with a splash screen. Lighting
...
application will launch instead of switcher app. Main menu screen is displayed which allows users to launch apps, vod, and play video content.
