Hello,

I use SampleRecipe in my Swift tvOS app. It can load TVML file from raw XML String, however it can't play videos?

Anyone knows how to solve it? Thanks!

btw, happy new year!

This must be something to do with my setup but when I call Kitchen serve nothing gets displayed.

Here is what I get in the console:

App[13589:5955308] ITML <Error>: Unable to create elements for document <alertTemplate itmlID="id_2"><title>test</title><description>DESCRIPTION</description></alertTemplate>
App[13589:5955091] #T:[Main] #Notice #SYSTEM : Template element: (null) 
2016-06-15 21:11:17.498 

Here is the code from the AppDelegate.

 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    let cookbook = Cookbook(launchOptions: launchOptions)
    Kitchen.prepare(cookbook)
    Kitchen.serve(xmlFile: "alert.xml", type: .Modal)
    return true
  }

I'm using a slimmed down template with pretty much nothing in it. But even the built in recipes do the same thing.

Hello!

I've just started using TVMLKitchen on a new project and noticed that modal support hasn't fully been implemented. I wanted to open this PR as a conversation starter into how best to implement it. This PR add the following method:

Kitchen.serveModal(recipe: recipe)

I've yet to implement this to the other methods as I'm not sure this is the best approach. Alternatives could be:

1. Kitchen.serve(recipe: recipe, present: .Modal)
2. Force the recipe to define the presentation style. In the case of descriptive alert this makes a lot of sense.

Maybe I'm overlooking something but i've gone through the framework and can't seem to find anything that would allow me to add UIViewController to a UITabBar. Is this currently not possible?

Hello again!

This pull request adds tab bar support to TVMLKitchen. It's not quite finished but I wanted to get your opinion before I tidy it up.

I've created a shared instance of a new object called KitchenTabBar. This tab bar has an items property that accepts a number of TabItem instances. Each TabItem features a title and a handler with the handler being called every time the tab changes.

Here's how you would setup a TVMLKitchen app to use a tab bar:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

    Kitchen.prepare(launchOptions, evaluateAppJavaScriptInContext: nil, actionIDHandler: actionIDHandler, playActionIDHandler: playActionIDHandler)

    KitchenTabBar.sharedBar.items = [
        HomeTab(),
        SettingsTab()
    ]

    return true
}

And here is what your HomeTab struct would look like:

struct HomeTab: TabItem {

    let title = "Home"

    func handler() {
        print("Called whenever the tab changes")
        Kitchen.serve(urlString: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toshi0383/TVMLKitchen/master/SampleRecipe/Catalog.xml.js", type: .Tab)
    }

}

The new .Tab presentation type is only to be used whenever a user wishes to keep a view within a tab. It uses a new JS presenter that has been adapted from some of Apple's sample code.

function menuBarItemPresenter(xml) {
    var feature = currentTab.parentNode.getFeature("MenuBarDocument");
    if (feature) {
        var currentDoc = feature.getDocument(currentTab);
        if (!currentDoc) {
            feature.setDocument(xml, currentTab);
        }
    }
}

How may I add local files (from the main bundle) to a xml template?

For example, I'd like to provide a static menu, the user can choose an item by using the stackTemplate. For each menu Item I want to show a logo, served locally and stored in the main bundle.

For each entry I got a code similar to this:

<lockup>
    <img src="wordpress.png" width="548" height="274" />
        <title>WordPress</title>
</lockup>

And the image wordpress.png is stored in the main bundle - but as you can see on the following screenshot it isn't displayed:

It's me again! Another feature request if it doesn't already exist haha.

Is there currently a way to reload a view in a tab? What Im after is either being able to tell a tab to reload its data or when the tab is loaded each time fetch the data it needs. Does something like this exist that I can use? If not what would be the best route to implement something like this?

Hello!

This pull request adds an alert recipe as well as the ability to dismiss modals. Buttons are entirely optional.

let buttons = [
    AlertButton(title: "OK", actionID: "alertAction"),
    AlertButton(title: "Cancel"),
]
let recipe = AlertRecipe(title: "Alert View", description: "A short description of what the alert does can go here.", buttons: buttons)
Kitchen.serve(recipe: recipe)

Kitchen.dismissModal()

There are two push methods to present a TVML view, replaceDocument and pushDocument. https://developer.apple.com/library/tvos/documentation/TVMLJS/Reference/TVJSNavigationDocument_Ref/index.html

The defaultPresenter in kitchen.js pushes document. If loadingIndicator exists, it replaces document.

I've updated my pod to v1.0.0 to get the Swift 3.0 version. The framework will not compile with my Swift 3.0 project, as Xcode still recognizes TVMLKitchen v1.0.0 as Swift 2.2.

As a note, I've taken the source from the Swift 3.0 branch and included it directly in my project, and everything works fine. This seems to be an issue with the cocoapod itself.

TVML should be dismissed when presented modally, and opening other TVML.

Current Behavior

I can present a TVML modally like this. (Thanks a lot @steve228uk !)

Kitchen.serve(jsFile: "Sample.xml.js", type: .Modal)

Sample.xml.js has a button like this.

<button class="button" template="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toshi0383/TVMLKitchen/master/SampleRecipe/Catalog.xml.js">

If this is clicked, kitchen.js presents the Catalog.xml.js behind the Sample.xml.js .

Hey there. I would really like to use TVMLKitchen in conjunction with my swift code but there is no support for swift 4. If possible, can you update your code for swift 4. I'd be more than happy to pilot your code.

Environment

macOS Sierra 10.12.4 (16E195) Xcode 8.3 (8E162) (Confirmed repro on Xcode8.2.1 too) Carthage 0.20.1

Reproduce Step

• carthage update --platform tvOS
• Add carthage copy-frameworks build phase
• Open App.xcodeproj and Cmd + R, this runs with no problems.
• Close xcodeproj and Create a new xcworkspace including the App and TVMLKitchen xcodeprojs.
• Open the xcworkspace and Cmd + R, the error occurs.

Solution

Add ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES = YES to buildSettings which is currently NO.

Hello @toshi0383, I'm not sure if you have noticed.

In MoviePlaybackSample or other sample, the app can't open the long description in a separate screen. As the picture below shows,

Ideally, it should show like this way.

I realized there is a still open issue#27 talking about this problem, which is #27 .

I think there is a missing actionIDHandler to deal with opening a long description. I will try to solve this issue following steve228uk and your thoughts in #27.

If you have any further ideas about this issue, could you please leave here? I gonna follow up, and submit an PR after completing. Thank you! 😀

Personally I've never done any movie playbacks in TVML. I have questions like below.

• Is FairPlay Streaming Supported ?
• Is FairPlay Streaming available in inline playback (tvOS10+) ?
• Is any other DRM (Widevine, PlayReady...) supports possible ?
• How could I interact with video UI using TVInterfaceCreating (tvOS10+) ?

Will investigate on these later...
