Well honestly this won't come so soon, especially if you keep in mind that we work since 2006 on a MHEG5 solution. I removed the code passage inside the php-script to avoid users buying content which exists only as some test code on my harddrive

IS there any "real" HBBTV delivery / content yet?

 

Also BBC & RTE are concentrating on integrating their Web offerings (iPlayer and RTEplayer) via MHEG5, which can access content via ethernet, not just DVB. So while there is aspirations about HBBTV, who is delivering it for real? What consumer equipment supports it? Many Models of Freesat HD and Freeview HD boxes/TVs now support ethernet BBC iPlayer content.

I guess that there is some content out there, though i have never seen it live :S

but in youtube you can find lots of videos.

C. HackBart, I think is more easy to implement if you only consider Internet browser and you are an expert programmer.

I've decoded a spanish channel (TV3, only available in Catalonia) and you get an URL: http://193.104.51.171/HbbTV/TV3_hbbtv_MV/index.php (see my attached image) You need send Red Button, for this example you open Javascript console and you type: handleKeyCode(VK_RED)

 

 

Start points:

 

Specification: http://pda.etsi.org/pda/home.asp?wki_id=hsZ9g8-p%27v475895z4LHX

Well to be honest it is not "just a bit of html+a simple webbrowser". I spent a lot of hours reading the specs and made several attempts to get it working with WebKit, but don't expect that this will come soon. And please do not drop me emails with questions about Hbbtv like "Come on its not that complicated".

Hackbart, I'm sorry for this message "Come on its not that complicated", I only want motivate you. If you need a tester you contact me (I have experience developing drivers and extensive software)

Some weeks ago I tried to use HBBTV under Windows using several browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera). Opera is only software that it complaints with CE-HTML. However HBBTV developers for Spain Channels have some problems, I can hear audio but no video, maybe a layer is incorrect order and it only works for HBBTV TVs.

 

You can test Spain HBBTV using Opera browser (see keys below to browse, press F5 function key to enter to HBBTV application):

 

http://91.224.240.37/front/LB_LITE/lastversion/

 

http://91.224.240.37/front/Telemadrid/

 

http://91.224.240.37/front/lasexta/

 

http://91.224.240.37/front/tele5/lastversion/

 

 

Now directory index is hidded, but severals channels in Spain are using same website:

FUNCTION F6, 117 (VK_GREEN) Green button

FUNCTION F7, 118 (VK_YELLOW) Yellow button

FUNCTION F8, 119 (VK_BLUE) Blue button

 

, 166, VK_BACK Back

 

 

Hackbart suggests Webkit to implement HBBTV but this one needs develop an extension for CE-HTML.

I think is sufficient using Opera and pressing HBBTV developers to compliant with Opera browser.

 

Process to view HBBTV under DVBViewer (add button or option into menu similar to teletext for DVBViewer):

1. Extract URL from AIT Table.

2. Launch Opera browser.

 

I don't know if in other countries you can browse HBBTV using Opera browser.

The main problem seems from designers and not from browsers. Here there is a few code extracted from HBBTV application for TV3 Channel (Catalan television, Spain country), this code plays correctly with Opera, Safari, Firefox and Chrome using Quicktime (you need check MP4 mime type inside Quicktime configuration):

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//HbbTV//1.1.1//EN" "http://www.hbbtv.org/dtd/HbbTV-1.1.1.dtd">

In order to run the HbbTV application,there need to be an application manager.Is it already available or should be instantiated by the developer theirselves?
