The problem is implementing an HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) in HbbTV I cannot find a solution for it
I tried this for example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HbbTV Stream</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function initApp() {
var videoElement = document.createElement("video");
videoElement.setAttribute("type", "application/vnd.apple.mpegurl");
videoElement.setAttribute("src", "http.//example.com/test.m3u8");
videoElement.setAttribute("data-fullscreen", "true");
videoElement.setAttribute("data-pauseonexit", "true");
videoElement.setAttribute("autoplay", "");
videoElement.addEventListener("error", function(e) {
console.log("Video error:", e);
});
document.body.appendChild(videoElement);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initApp()">
</body>
</html>
It won't help on older devices but if you are targeting HBBTV 2.0.3 or later, devices should have support for Media Source Extensions, so you could try use a javascript-based player such as hls.js or similar.
