SoundChex for smart TVs (web platforms)

The SoundChex client for the smart-TV platforms that run web apps — LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, and Vizio SmartCast. One web codebase, packaged per platform's SDK.

These are distinct from the Android-based TVs (Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV, which live in SoundChexAndroid) and from Roku (BrightScript, in SoundChexRoku). webOS, Tizen and SmartCast all run an HTML/JS/CSS app, so they share one codebase here.

The starting point

SoundChex already has a browser media center (the Laravel app's /app) and a PWA. A TV app for these platforms is largely a 10-foot, D-pad-navigable UI over the same JSON API (/api/v1/*), packaged with each vendor's tooling:

• LG webOS — ares CLI / webOS TV SDK, .ipk package.
• Samsung Tizen — Tizen Studio, .wgt package.
• Vizio SmartCast — partner SDK (newer SmartCast accepts web apps).

Planned stack

• Plain web (HTML/JS/CSS) or a light framework, built for remote/D-pad focus navigation and TV-safe areas — not a port of the mouse/touch UI.
• Shared API layer against the SoundChex server; per-platform packaging scripts.

Status

Scaffold only — see Documentation & Planning/Status.md and Roadmap.md. No app code yet.
