RefUI Integration

The IntegratedPlayer is used in the VOD playback section in RefUI.

At present, until "system" app support is not available, UI on startup will check if com.rdkcentral.aamp-cli-sh is installed[Using: AppManager.isInstalled('com.rdkcentral.aamp-cli-sh')] and if yes; it will launch com.rdkcentral.aamp-cli-sh [Using: AppManager.launchApp('com.rdkcentral.aamp-cli-sh')].

When user tries to launch a VOD asset, UI shows that in a new page. Player lifecycle is tied to this page's lifecycle as well.

on Page active:

• Await till the IPPlayer websocket communication establishes
• Create a new session using openSession with RefUI's AppID & AppInstanceID
• Then use configureSession to set the DRM settings of the Player, register for the player events
• Then start the playback using play with sessionID and url
• On player events
  • Update progress bar
• When user interacts with the player controls
  • PlayPause - call setRate or stop
  • FastForward/Backward - call setRate

On Page inactive

• Unregister from player events
• closeSession and destroy the player instance along with websocket close
