Sony Bravia JavaScript API & Emulator

Question

I recently purchased a Sony Bravia TV that comes with Internet capability built in. It supports a number of internet capable widgets and web video streaming apps for sites like youtube, twitter & various yahoo! offerings. I'd like to hack on the SDK, but the only version I can find is Japanese.

Is there an English version of the SDK? Where can I find some tutorials/examples?

Did you manage to find an English SDK? – Incase

no, I gave up on it after my tv power supply died. I'm waiting to see what happens with android & apple TV before I buy something new and start hacking again... – Sum

Check out this site: http://www.geekpage.jp/web/AppliCast/ (Japanese.) It has examples, links and other items that look useful.

Answer 3

I don't think they released the SDK outside Japan. You might have good chance with Chrome and its built in Google Translate to navigate your self into the Japanese documentation.

Thanks for the tip. I tried chrome to view the page like you suggested, that's a nice feature. I'm still looking for any more info out there beyond this page... – Sum

Answer 4

As I know the SONY Bravia is the only major TV series that does not have any SDK...

Or are there any newer information about that?
