ioko (stand 1.A50) has teamed up with Samsung to further accelerate the development of direct-to-TV applications for Samsung TVs. ioko, which developed LOVEFiLM’s secure Real Time Messaging Protocol encrypted (RTMPe) based player, a world first in direct-to-TV subscription video on demand (VOD) , is now certified to develop applications for Samsung’s range of Internet@TV sets. According to Screen Digest, by 2014, 90 percent of all TV sets sold in Europe will be Internet-enabled. This new accreditation means ioko is even better placed to help content providers take advantage of this growing market opportunity, enabling them to extend their current service offerings direct to viewers’ TV sets. ioko already has experience of Samsung’s Internet@TV sets, having developed the H.264 video player for LOVEFiLM’s direct-to-TV service, which launched in May 2010. LOVEFiLM’s in house team designed and built the application. This service, which was the first of its kind, allows all members of LOVEFiLM unlimited subscription packages to search for and access movie titles using their remote controls.
