HTML5 signage
A digital signage approach in which the player is built with web technologies and runs on almost any device with a browser engine.
HTML5 signage is an approach in which the player is written with web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Instead of building a separate app for each device, the same player runs on different devices that have a browser engine. Smart TVs, Android devices, Tizen displays and computers all carry one of these engines.
The benefit is broad device support and content that looks the same everywhere. The point to watch is that browser engines on older televisions do not always support newer web features.
The HTML5 player in MIA
The MIA player is web-based. It runs in the app's WebView on Android, as a signed Tizen package on Samsung signage displays, in the browser on Samsung and LG Smart TVs, and in a browser in kiosk mode on computers. Televisions from 2018 onwards are supported, and a build for older browser engines loads automatically on screens that need it. You can also add your own HTML code as content. Details are on the Smart TV browser page.
