Handling messages received from OpenTV Platform

Overview

A client application will receive messages from OpenTV Platform and should process each message appropriately.

A message can be of the following types:

  • General notification – sent by the operator, generally used for marketing or informational messages

  • Emergency Alert System messages (US only) – official emergency alert messages

  • Entitlement changes – sent by OPF when an entitlement change occurs to the account that the device belongs to

  • EPG update – sent by OPF when there is a change to metadata or event times

Prerequisites

A client application must register with Open Device Messaging (ODM) before it can receive messages.

See:

Message formats

The format of the message that is received by a client and how the client is expected to handle it depend on the type of message.

See Message formats.
