Overview
solidAPI documentation. Further informations can be found on the Platform page.

Context
The solidAPI is a JavaScript API wich allows to communicate with the STB hardware. It exposes several functions and is the interface for a JavaScript/HTML5 developer.

Usage
To use the solidAPI, the JavaScript file (solidAPI.js) has to be included, which is located on the STB under (/usr/local/www/ekt_components/solidAPI/solidAPI.js). Aterwards the API functions can be accessed via the global Platform object. To get started quickly, the below example shows a simple video playback with the usage of the solidAPI:

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="solidAPI.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body></body>

  <script>

  var MRL = "http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4"

  Platform.Playback.createStream( MRL )
  .then( function( stream ) {
      return Platform.Playback.play( stream )
  } )
  .catch( function( error ) {
      console.error( error )
  } )

  </script>
</html>

The above code can be pasted into an .html page and can be played on the STB right away.
