Not exactly, it just means that the manufacturer decides which platforms are supporting the Smart TV Alliance specification. Please also refer to the general questions list for the answer on when a list of specific devices that support the Smart TV Alliance specification is published by the Smart TV Alliance itself.

Thanks for the clarification. I am eager to see list of supported devices.

I am new to the SmartTV Alliance and this forum, but I just downloaded the SDK Manual and I am not sure if that is the specification you refer to or not ( cannot find another download on the developers site, please point me to the right document), but section 3.5 of the 2.5 SDK is the DIAL support.

I would have expected something in SDK to allow the app to query the device to determine DRM capabilities. I do see the smarttv_getPlatform() call documented in section 3.2.3 but this doesn't seem to contemplate DRM capabilities in the response. Am I missing something? How do we determine if the device supports a specific DRM?

Thanks,

Hi Dakaz

The safe ground is using the PlayReady and SmoothStreaming. It must be mandatory supported by all STA 2.0 compatible devices
