I have to develop a Samsung TV application to play videos that are served

  • 0

I have to develop a Samsung TV application to play videos that are served from a remote server, which I don’t have access to.

Actually I’ve made an application to play videos of my own server. But my current requirements are as follows:

  1. I want to play videos that are served from a remote host (say //remote.com/video_id) to which I have no access, but my TV application is connected to my server (say //myserver.com/samsungapp)
  2. I have to cache file on my Samsung TV before playing. ie., buffer 100% and then play

I’ve checked FileApi and FileReader using HTML5 and JS, and come up with following barriers:

Its difficult to send cross domain request from Javascript. Since I don’t have access to remote host, I can’t set access-control-origin on the remote server’s response.

Any suggestions are appreciated…

    There is method for modifying buffer size: SetTotalBufferSize

    But you can’t buffer 100% of your video as it simply runs out RAM memory of the TV.

    Therefore you have event to check if buffering is complete: OnBufferingComplete

    I don’t know what is the purpose of your task, but you can download whole file to the device instead of buffering it.

    Here is the method:

    So you can download movie and save it to the device. And after that play your movie from local.
