TV Application Layer
The 主播大秀 iPlayer is being shared or launched on new devices every week, and we can only do that by having a really good engagement and testing process.
Clear process
We specify very clearly what requirements we聽have of a new TV or device, referencing industry standards. We also have a compliance application that we make available to a manufacturer of a new device. The compliance application can be used to test different requirements independently. For example, we can check that the buttons on a remote control or games controller do what is expected or that you can pause the video and resume the video. These sound very simple things, but every device is different and even the most subtle difference can be a problem.
Step by step
Only once we confirm that the device聽can run the compliance application sucessfully do we start looking at iPlayer. This means that if the compliance application works on a device, then iPlayer and our other TV applications should do too.
Over 1000 TV devices鈥�
We鈥檝e recently passed a big milestone as we have launched 主播大秀 iPlayer on over 1000 TV devices 鈥� smart TVs, set top boxes, games consoles, Blu-ray players. Again it is the that has enabled this and allows us to manage all these applications without a team of thousands.
