Hi, I have some doubts of benefits using this sdk, I started using the sdk with hope that at the end I will have application that runs on all smart tv's that sdk supports...<br />But until now sdk didn't help me at all... why?<br />Let us begin with streaming video content. I had a problem with playing streams with sdk and the support told me to use VIDEO tag (html5), so basicly sdk does nothing here, because VIDEO tag is html5 functionality so I could do this without sdk.<br />Here is the answer from support regarding this video problem : <br />\"<span style="color: #222222">Hi Aldin,</span><br /><span style="color: #222222"></span><span style="color: #222222">To play media, using VIDEO / AUDIO tag is expected here. \"</span><br /><br />Next problem is the getting serial number (UID) or MAC address which is really important for my application and sdk doesn't help there too...<br />Here is the answer from support regarding the UID or MAC address problem :<br /><br /><span style="color: #222222">Hi Thomas B,</span><br /><span style="color: #222222"></span><span style="color: #222222">In case you want something like Device ID or MAC Address, it is out of current spec.</span><br /><span style="color: #222222"></span><span style="color: #222222">Regards.<br /><br /></span>So the next problem is testing application on real device, also sdk doesn't help here because look at this answer from support<br /><br /><span style="color: #222222"></span>Answer :<br /><span style="color: #222222">The Smart TV Alliance does not have the procedures for testing on specific devices. You should contact the individual manufacturers for this.<br /><br /></span>So my question is : What exactly is the purpose of this sdk, how is sdk helping me to create application for various smarttv?<br />Does this sdk has some functions (methods), api calls ,call it whatever you want, for controling audio and video (volume up/down, mute, play video, pause video, stop video etc...)<br /><br />I hope you can help me and clarify what for this sdk is good for?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><span style="color: #222222"><br /></span><p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://developers.smarttv-alliance.org/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=6178">aldin_1</a> — Fri Dec 12, 2014 2:22 am</p><hr />
