Cross-Platform Television Application Development: JavaScript Frameworks for Smart TV Ecosystems
SessionTrack CEnglish
Join me for an in-depth exploration of developing television applications using JavaScript frameworks and React Native for TV across the fragmented smart TV landscape. In this session, I'll dive into practical solutions for building apps that work seamlessly across Tizen, webOS, Android TV and Fire TV platforms. I'll demonstrate which modern JavaScript frameworks to use for television environments, with a special focus on React Native for TV and its powerful cross-platform capabilities. You'll learn to tackle TV-specific challenges including remote control navigation, focus management, spatial navigation with D-pad controls, and designing effective 10-foot user interfaces. Through live coding examples and real-world case studies, I'll explore performance optimization techniques that maintain smooth 30+ FPS experiences across diverse TV hardware, memory management strategies for resource-constrained environments, and video streaming integration patterns that work reliably across platforms.
Whether you're a web developer looking to expand into TV development or seeking to optimize your existing smart TV applications, this talk will equip you with the knowledge and tools to succeed in the connected television ecosystem.
