To configure STB a special XML-file is used. It is requested by STB from URL: http://[PROVISION_ADDR]/prov/tvip_provision.xml

Provisioning [PROVISION_ADDR] is located on the STB's rootfs /etc/default_provision_server (For the TVIP firmware it is tvipstb.net).

Different STBs could by provisioned by differen versions of XML file, using Web server's features: depending on IP-address or MAC-addres of STB (HTTP header: Mac-Address).

The following example displays providing different XML files depending on STB MAC address using NGINX web-server:

                if ($http_mac_address) {
                    set $tvipmac M;
                }
                if ( -d "/var/www/tvipstb.net/prov.mac/$http_mac_address/" ) {
                    set $tvipres  F$tvipmac;
                }
                if ( $tvipres = FM ) {
                    rewrite ^/prov/(.*)$ /prov.mac/$http_mac_address/$1 break;
                }

In this example, requests from devices with different MAC addresses are forwarded to different directories on web server: /var/www/tvipstb.net/prov.mac/DEVICE_MAC_ADDRESS/

Provision xml is loaded from http://tvipstb.net by default. This domain can be overridden over provisioning itself, over TR-069 protocol, over DHCP options.

Provisioning address is deducted using priorities:

In firmwares up to 4.1.x:

1. Address from TR-069 configuration.
2. Locked device address. This address can be factory configured and overridden over provision_server tag in XML file. Factory reset of STB will not reset this address to defaults.
3. Address from DHCP-option.
4. Address from firmware (Official firmware has tvipstb.net address).

In firmwares from 4.2.x:

1. Locked device address. This address can be factory configured and overridden over provision_server tag in XML file. Factory reset of STB will not reset this address to defaults.
2. Address from TR-069 configuration.
3. Address from DHCP-option.
4. Address from firmware (Official firmware has tvipstb.net address).

You should configure local domain tvipstb.net to use local provisioning

example configuration for bind DNS server:

$TTL 1200
tvipstb.net        IN SOA  ***HOSTNAME_OF_YOUR_DNS***. dnsmaster.tvipstb.net. (
                                201380101 ; serial
                                10800      ; refresh (3 hours)
                                3600       ; retry (1 hour)
                                604800     ; expire (1 week)
                                3600       ; minimum (1 hour)
                                )
                        NS      ***HOSTNAME_OF_YOUR_DNS***.
                        A       *******YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS****

Basic structure is the follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<provision reload="86400">
  <!-- Modules -->
</provision>

reload attribute defines tvip_provision.xml update checking interval in seconds. Default value is 86400. <!– Modules –> defines modules described in the following chapters.

The module is a direct inheritor of the tag provision.
Starting with firmware version 5.0.33, it became possible to provide different provisioning modules for different devices. For this an additional section is created.
Example:

<tv_protocols devices="s605,s530"  override="true" default="jsonapi"  autostart="true"   >
     <protocol type="jsonapi" server="http://example.com" />
</tv_protocols>
<tv_protocols devices=""  override="true"  default="jsonapi"  autostart="true" >
      <protocol type="jsonapi" server="https//example2.com" />
</tv_protocols>        

* device -model of TVIP box
In this example, the boxes s605 and s530 will get the address of the server middleware example.com, all others are example2.com.
Set-top boxes with firmware version earlier than 5.0.33 will receive the last middleware server address.

Update server tag is used if operator is using local update server.

<update_server name="update.tvip.tv" />

name attribute defines update server domain name.

• priorities of update server addresses
• Defined address will be written to /var/tvip/update_server.prov
• All official updates are always avaliable on update.tvip.tv web server

Supported from firmware: 3.8.6
Set up URL, username and password for ACS access over CWMP protocol.

<tr69_server url="http://myacs.net/TR-069" user="test" password="test" />

Supported from firmware: 3.9.13
Set up ip-address syslog server to send copy of /var/log/syslog. Syslog uses UDP protocol with port 514.

<syslog_host name="1.1.1.1"/>

Supported from firmware 4.0.13
Set up server URL, where statistics will be sent.

<statistics url="http://domain/stbstat/index.php" accum_period="45">
  <media />
  <network period="20" />
</statistics>

Statistics tag attributes:

• url - statistics server address.
• accum_period - period in second of statistic accumulation before sent to server.

Network tag attributes (statistics of network interfaces):

• period - period in seconds of statistics reading from hardware.

Media tag attributes (player statistics):

• period - period in seconds of statistics reading from hardware. If set, data is read both periodically and at the end of media playback. If not set, statistics is read only at the end of playback.

This allows to redirect STB to another provisioning server. Request to a new server will be executed immediately.

<provision_server name="http://tvipstb.net" />

name attribute defines new provisioning server domain.

from version 4.0.0 attribute must contain schema (http or https)

If you need to explicitly reset provisioning server to default domain, make name attribute empty:

<provision_server name="" />

<restart value="reboot" />

value attribute could be:
shell - reinit application.
reboot - STB reboot.

Defines a list of update type that user could select in Settings menu. For example, customers can have access to Beta and Release firmwares. “release” update type is always present in the menu (called “Default”).

<update_types>
  <device id="s400a">
    <type name="Android/Beta" os="android" type="beta" />
    <type name="Linux-Qt/Release" os="linux-qt" />
  </device>
  <device id="s410" force_type="release" force_os="linux-qt">
  </device>
</update_types>

id attribute in device tag defines device type which is being configured (for ex. s410, s500). type tag attributes:

• name defines update type user-readable name for display;
• os defines OS type (for ex. “linux”, “linux-qt”, “android”);
• type defines update type (for ex. “release”, “beta”). Ifos attribute is not set, current installed OS is being used. If type is not set, “release” will be used by default.

In the following example, S400 STBs (running Android OS) will have access to “android/release” firmwares (by default) and to Beta-firmwares for Android OS (“android/beta”). They also can change OS to Linux-QT (“linux-qt/release”).
S410 STBs can only access “release” version of “linux-qt” OS. They also forced to use “release” update type on each startup.

<updates>
  <update_background force="true" value="true" />
  <update_force force="true" value="true" />
  <update_period force="true" value="60" />
</updates>

update_background defines if timer should be used to force confirm update when “New Software is available” window is displayed.
update_force defines if “Cancel” button should be hidden from “New Software is available” window
update_period defines software updated check period in seconds (from 60 to 86400)

force is used to override user defined settings.
