Also, the recipe to avail this on CMF community https://code.rdkcentral.com/r/plugins/gitiles/components/generic/rdk-oe/meta-cmf-video/+/refs/heads/rdk-next/recipes-extended/rdkservices/rdkservices_git.bbappend points to GitHub's repository.

Currently, RDK services is excluded from Thunder Image builds and this depends with ServiceManager and WPE WebKit for (OpenCDM Implementation)
