Hello Everyone!
Now that everyone all platforms worldwide are on Framework 1.2 or higher (see announcement re: Samsung 2009 TVs in Europe), we are now mandating the changeover from KONtx.videoplayer to KONtx.mediaplayer API. There are a number of issues with the older KONtx.videoplayer API and is completely unsupported on some platforms (Vizio specifically at this time). If you have been in contact with us, this should come as no surprise to you, but if you haven't, I apologize this is the first you are hearing of this new API.
To support all platforms using a single codebase, anyone using the KONtx.mediaplayer API needs to include the following patchfile inside their widget. The patch can be obtained from here:
http://gist.github.com/399364To use it, you would need to put it somewhere in your widget and include it. If you are already following our recommended best practices, you would put this file inside /Contents/Javascript and then include it at the top of your init.js right below your framework include like so:
CODE
include("Framework/kontx/1.2/src/all.js");
include("Javascript/patch-pre_fw1.3.20-mediaplayer.js");
As many of you have already been working on porting to using KONtx.mediaplayer already, this should be the only change needed to support video widgets across all platforms. If you have not started using KONtx.mediaplayer, then you should familiarize yourself with the Media Player API reference guide. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post here in the forums or email us at tvwidgets@yahoo-inc.com.
Thanks!
