Areas of involvement:
Port all Unity 2D TV code into Unity 3D and nux.
Develop lenses / scopes which would be appropriate for a TV
Working on new apps or porting apps that would work well on TV, making them available on Software center.
Things needed:
Documentation on how to get Ubuntu TV build and running in a test environment
Feature branch and PPA
Qt/Nux compare and contrast
Target screen resolutions (1080p & 720p, etc)
Why overscan sucks:- http://
Identify key people in Canonical for different porting components
Identify a smaller list of specific tasks
Things wanted:
API for controlling the TV over the local network
Quickly template for TV-targetted apps and scopes
Apps for Ubuntu TV need to be easily navigable using arrow keys (eg: TV remote)
Integration with on-screen keyboard in the UI
OnBoard?
TV HIG
Example TV Apps
Quickly getting started apps for Ubuntu TV examples
