Re: HTML5 and home network access

Dear Colleagues,

I though you might find the IPTV APIs of GEM inspirational for this.

The overview page of the latest version is at http://www.mhp.org/mhpgem12.htm

If you want to dive directly into the JavaDoc, download http://www.mhp.org/specs/GEM_1.2.2_JavaDoc.zip and look at the documentation of the 

    org.dvb.service.sds
    org.dvb.service.selection
    org.dvb.service.navigation

packages (in that order) for service discovery and selection. This should go into the direction of Bob Lund's initial request, but is higher level (more abstract). It hides details like UPnP etc. so is more akin to what Glenn Adams and MoMcRoberts were asking for.

If my slides at the Berlin workshop yesterday got you curious on TV-Anytime ;) you might also want to check out the JavaDoc of the

    org.dvb.tvanytime.javatv
    org.dvb.tvanytime.resolution
    org.dvb.tvanytime.metadata
    org.dvb.tvanytime.metadata.ip

packages (again in that order) for content guide information and CRID handling and resolution APIs.

Since it's GEM these APIs are already part of OCAP, which should be to Bob Lund's liking I suppose? ;))

All the above has been designed for broadcast and BluRay, so the APIs might deserve some amendments for use on the Web. But I guess we're not the folks to jot down such an API proposal real quick...? ;)

Hoping to have helped,
