Feed — this is a feed of content placed in the firmware of the device, necessary to promote the application within the platform. When you click on the feed element, the application associated with it is opened. When such an application is opened, a diplinc is often transmitted to it so that it is possible not only to launch the service, but also to open the desired page with content.

Feeds are divided into 2 types:

2. To create a tape, you need to choose the type of content, whether it requires pre-authorization in the application and what device it is intended for (currently — these are Android TV and Tizen TV). Below is an example of setting up a film tape from the category «News»:

3. The mask of the dipllink is made by documentation, taking into account the variable $content id & #8212; it must be installed instead of the identifier of the channel, film or broadcast.

4. The list of available poster sizes for feed with TV channels is formed based on the option SMARTY_DEFAULT_ICON_SIZES, for feed with films — based on graphics options for films, for TV program — based on pictures given by an EPG source.

5. For Android TV, one of the feeds can be noted for use inside the shared tape «Continue viewing» (or in some firmware it is called «Favorites»). Inside this tape, the content from all the applications installed on the TV is aggregated, so for such a feed you need to put a limit on the number of given elements (in practice, we often see that applications give 3 elements to this tape).

The Futuristic and Sibseti templates implement the feed mechanism in full — when you click on the cover of the content inside the application, a page of this content will be automatically opened.

Other templates without taking into account additional improvements when clicking on the cover will simply run the application.

After updating the application to the version with feeds in automatic mode, a default Android channel will appear on the main page of the TV (the first feed without authorization). In addition, the settings will be able to add to the main and other feeds.

In the list after authorization appear tapes that require authorization, so they become more.

Yes, there are some differences:

FEEDS_EXPIRE_TIME — this is a Smarty configuration option that sets the time period (in minutes) after which the feed will be considered expired. Used when displaying feeds in Tizen TV. Data type: int. By default 1440.
