Quickstart
The quickstart section outlines how to build an MPAT application – quickly. Necessary steps are listed subsequently and will be explained in detail in the consecutive sections below.
Quickly create an HbbTV with MPAT:
- Choose a Navigation Model
- Create a Page Layout
- Load a background image
- Define a component layout by adding boxes
- Save as draft / Publish the Page Layout
- Create a Page (repeat as many times as necessary)
- Select a Page Layout
- Add background image
- Customize the content component(s)
- Add text
- Add image
- Add video
- Add hotspots
- Add a menu
- Add a link
- Save as draft / Publish the Page
- Configure the Navigation
- Define Start Page
- SlideFlow - Define Order of Pages
- Website - Add links between pages
- Customize the Application
- Publish the application by publishing all pages
Note: If you use Firefox or Chrome/Chromium both for editing and previewing, you will have to disable the FireHbbTV add-on (for FF) and extension for Chrome every time you go back to editing:
- Enabled – The TV icon is blue:
- Disabled – The TV icon is grayed-out:
If you do not disable these when editing, the editor will not work properly.
Workaround: Use another Internet browser that does not support HbbTV and use Firefox with the FireHbbTV add-on for previewing only.
