New "Smart TV" user interface

[zlatko]

@smart
I also can not change the location on the first meteo "tile". And oddly it shows the weather for my country "in general" - the label is "Bulgaria". I can not even setup my home city. Yes, Bulgaria is a small country, but weather can vary a lot from city to city :P

Hi,

seems you found one more bug, because in Germany the recommendations are from videociety. Well I do not know any possibility how to change that. As far as know the SmartTV-Portal such mappings are done at philips side and not on user side.

Enjoy your TV, it's fun!

question
do you have any plans of opera tv ?

I doubt that Philips will answer.
There are so many questions and issues raised,
and the silence from Philips

I'm not sure, but there is an Opera browser in the TV, I would assume, that they actually use the platform you have shown in the video. The UI is different, but since this is a b2b solution, I expect a customer company can change the UI to their own style, but still having their backend software.

But this is kind of off-topic...

Yes, we first want the dynamic background to work! :-)

I have a good sex all evenings in last week with my Philips 9606! Its amazing! In some application I cant even choose what I want, when I press button for one move its moved twice.
God bless the Philips and give us a patience....!

Not seen the 'comming soon' announcement yet.

February 4, 2012 The netherlands, NetTV with BDP5180:

NetTV not available due to maintenance

A SmartTV logo was showing in the left upper corner


later on that day:
(the cut off is how it appeared in all screen modes)

artTV
arden Registreer
uitgeschakeld

p is tijdelijk uitgeschakeld
eindigde app
s deze app niet langer beschikbaar.
zal hij nu van uw homepage worden verwijderd.

Later again on that day NetTV functioned like always.
I was urged to register again and my peronal apps were changed in the default set.

Hi,

another translation error (German interface):

- if one click on the date in the top right corner a small calendar is displayed. The small popup contains the month etc. This is not translated into German

I do like the date, but I actually mis the first letter of the days, as for my personally I do not see much use of a matrix of daynumbers...
So my first feature request for the new SmartTV...

@Alex: does the coming soon work for you now? I can see the recommendations and they are correctly: so things in the future....
I do think the channel logo's are a bit low-res (2nd feature request! )

Chris.

Hi,

@Chris
the recommondations are in the future... However, I got recommondations for next sunday and the sunday after that. And I see these recommondations since almost 1 week - they do not change.

Furthermore, I only see the time (and channel?) - but not the day!

Where do you see channel logos in the new portal?

Toengel@Alex

[starterz]

Another thing, can I see any recomendations while watching TV from external STB? Can I see any items that are not for the philips remote app?

[Erikrijnders]

Philips is in the no-reply mode again??? A simple update on IP-EPG in the Netherlands is too much to ask.... Shame!

Hi Toengel,

the recommendations are not predictable. Now I also senn VIEWSTER and VideoCiety.
As I tryed the VIESTER recomm it worked - amazing , but what I really strange I cant find the VIEWSTER app either in the services at my SmartTV home nor in the AppGallery.
It seems that there is a lot of work to do

Enjoy your TV, it's fun!

In general, a "style guide" is desirable that enables the developers to functionally (and optically) streamline the UI of their app's. For example:
1) how do you return to a previous step *within* an app;
2) how do you quit an app for returning to the SmartTV home menu.

I realize that the development of app's is in full evolution and enjoy to see the progress that is made. My congratulations to the development team. The new SmartTV has become really useful now. Paul

MY bugs:


- In the right corner the temparature is shown. From which City ???????????????

Good point: I had the same doubt too.

An indication of the reported city's temperature would be necessary.
