About
My name is Benjamin Zachey and I have been developing web applications for TV and embedded devices for over 15 years. Starting with the first CE-HTML models from Philips (2008) to the first HbbTV specification draft (2009) up to the current smart TV devices. I have constantly followed and applied the media development and have implemented many prototypes in various projects and teams. Media Station X was started in 2017 as side project to my regular activities. The main goal was to distribute a freely available and highly configurable launcher to test different videos/audios and other web applications on different TV platforms. Now it has become a powerful application with many features and use cases. I hope you enjoy using it and I would be very happy to receive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Technology Stack
Media Station X is built on the TVX Framework that has been developed for this application. The TVX Framework is a composition of tools and services to build high-performance and high-compatible TV (and mobile-usable) applications. It is based on plain HTML5 and CSS3, uses jQuery as its core library, and handles all platform-specific implementations. It has been tested on all major TV platforms with excellent stability and compatibility.
