Smart TV Emulator: Test and Debug Your HTML5 Apps for Smart TVs
The Smart TV Emulator, developed by Hasan ERYILMAZ, is a powerful tool that allows developers to test and debug their HTML5 apps for the Smart TV App Store. With this emulator, developers can ensure that their apps are optimized for Smart TVs, Blu-ray players, and set-top boxes powered by Smart Core version 4.0 and later.
Installing and enabling the Smart TV Emulator is a breeze. Simply install the extension on your Chrome browser and enable it. Once enabled, you can easily test and debug your HTML5 apps by typing in the desired URL in the address bar and starting the emulation with a single click. The extension icon will turn red to indicate that the emulator is active.
This emulator comes with a range of useful features. It offers functional key mappings, including directional, enter, back, and color buttons. It also allows you to add or update multiple custom user agent strings. Additionally, it provides overscan support, which ensures that the entire app UI is displayed on the TV screen. A draggable popup appears when the window.close function is called, making it easy to test the behavior of your app. Lastly, the emulator disables localStorage support and displays a warning message if it is used, as there is limited memory available on Smart TV devices.
To navigate and control the emulator using your keyboard, you can use the following mappings: left arrow for left, right arrow for right, up arrow for up, down arrow for down, backspace key for back, and enter key for enter.
With the Smart TV Emulator, developers can confidently test and debug their HTML5 apps for Smart TVs, ensuring a seamless user experience on these devices.
