"So it's just HTML? Is there a reason (legal or otherwise) that they can't just use HTML?" The BBC have an open source library for building apps for TV based on HTML, CSS and JavaScript called TAL: TV Application Layer. It's designed to be deployed across HTML-based TV devices. http://fmtvp.github.io/tal/getting-started/introducing-tal.h... Apple's tvOS is likely to have much richer functionality since it's hosted on Apple's own hardware. However, an open standard for TV apps would be a good thing. The BBCs TAL was released as open source in March 2013. But I don't know if it's gained wider traction in the industry. |
