NeTV local UI is entirely rendered by Webkit browser, running in a chromeless/fullscreen fashion. The UI is written in JavaScript & HTML. Hardware integration is supported by submitting POST/GET request to http://localhost/bridge. See NeTV_web_services.
The starting point for playing with the UI is to edit files found in /usr/share/netserver/docroot This is translated to http://localhost
The overlay effect is done using chroma key compositing.
Any color that is (240,0,240 or #F000F0) will take on the color of the background video stream.
The browser executable is located at /usr/bin/NeTVBrowser To start/stop/restart the browser, use a helper script
/etc/init.d/chumby-netvbrowser start/stop/restart
To point the browser at a different URL
Note that, however, a keep-alive timer will kick in within 1 minute and switch it back to http://localhost/
NeTVBrowser -qws SetUrl http://www.yoururl.com
The correct way to keep a page on screen is to use the browser's multi-tab feature
NeTVBrowser -qws Tab 1 http://www.yoururl.com NeTVBrowser -qws Tab 1 Hide
Where '1' is the index of the tab. Maximum 10 tabs are supported (index 9).
Tab 0 is reserved for NeTV UI.
A keep-alive timer is responsible to keep it pointing to http://localhost at 1 minute interval.
To call or inject JavaScript function from SSH console (remember to escape special characters):
NeTVBrowser -qws JavaScript "console.log('hello console');"
NeTVBrowser -qws JavaScript "my_function(); function my_function() { console.log('hello console'); }"
Night mode (Tab 0 only)
NeTVBrowser -qws InvertColor on NeTVBrowser -qws InvertColor off
Make the browser fullscreen / NOT fullscreen
NeTVBrowser -qws Fullscreen //NeTVBrowser -qws SetBox xx yy width height NeTVBrowser -qws SetBox 100 100 400 300
