Consumers want the freedom to use their TV and other home electronics to find and play media from the Internet.
With NthPlayer's WebKit-based browser, they finally get it.
What's WebKit? WebKit is the small, clean, and standards-compliant browser engine that has shipped inside some of the world's most successful embedded and desktop products.
We've created our own simple user interface on top of WebKit, so consumers can access web media guides to play the videos and music they want.
Limited choice is not what the Internet is about. And that's not what NthPlayer is about, either. Instead, NthPlayer's browser offers consumers the ability to view open media guides served from any website on the Internet.
Radio? Consumers can browse and listen to any of the thousands of free Internet radio stations in Shoutcast's directory. Video? They can subscribe to thousands of Internet TV feeds – many in HD – using open Internet television guides, such as Miro.
And because NthPlayer is based on open standards, web designers and programmers can rest assured that they can use all the same HTML, CSS, and JavaScript they know and love to create media guides that work great on devices running NthPlayer.
Consumers can subscribe to any of the more than 100,000 audio podcasts and thousands of video feeds – many in HD – available on the web today using NthPlayer's integrated feed reader and downloader.
A user can navigate to her favorite audio or video podcast site, press the link marked 'RSS,' (RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, an Internet standard for subscription-based media such as blogs and audio podcasts), and NthPlayer automatically adds the feed to its subscriptions list.
Once she subscribes to a feed, NthPlayer's integrated media-RSS feed engine checks for and can automatically download new HTTP and BitTorrent files.
NthPlayer's user interface is designed to be simple, functional, and elegant. And it supports input from both touch screens and remote controls.
Our remote control user interface is based around a six-button remote with up, down, left, right, select, and back keys (manufacturers can add additional keys for power and volume, if necessary).
NthPlayer's touch screen user interface includes draggable lists and an on-screen keyboard for when it's necessary to enter text.
So electronics companies can build a wide variety of home media products with NthPlayer software – from Internet connected set-top boxes, to touch-screen media players for use by the pool.
With NthPlayer, the dots in the Internet media revolution are finally connected.
