Hi there, I'm one of the two creators of TV.js
It's nice to see it get some love on HN, given that we just hacked it together from "scratch" yesterday.
I just wanted to clarify a few things briefly, this application is not intended to run on an Apple TV, it's meant to run on Desktops, Laptops and Raspberry PIs.
There's obviously a lot of room for improvement but as of now it works well, but the install process is relatively tedious (ok for developers, not so for others).
The application uses node-webkit to run as an App, we will possibly distribute bundled versions of this in the future.
And for those who may be asking, this is not our Startup, it's just a nice hack, we put together during our own personal Hackathon :)

- AaronO 13y agoI just resized them there now.
- kunil 13y agoIs it possible to use it with other TVs? How platform dependent is it? Although this is not related to my area, I am working as a software developer for a different smart tv company. This would be fun to try
- xauronx 13y agoIt runs on a raspberry pi and just hooks up to a TV through HDMI I think. So it doesn't matter what TV.
- frankcaron 13y agoVery cool project. Congrats on the great work!
- jamesaguilar 13y agoSo, why is Apple TV on the github page? Left over from an earlier version?
