Yahoo! Connected TV demonstrated some groundbreaking announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, including Broadcast Interactivity, Device Control and the Yahoo! Connected TV Store. Aside from these exciting new announcements that bring monetization to the Yahoo!

UPDATE: We have released an update to the WDK fixing a few issues with the precious release. The new version is v1.2.16 from v1.2.15. You may download the new WDK directly at: http://bit.ly/c677Zd We fixed a couple of minor issues including:
1. Playback of video lists has been fixed.
2. Issues with closing the simulator before the terminal completes has been fixed.
The media players developed by the current device manufacturers are optimized to support seeking using time index values that are passed between the widget and the media server. Supporting true fast forward and rewind functionality is resource intensive and not yet available on current Connected TV devices. An alternative approach is to use time index seeking to enable consumers to skip forward and skip backward within in a stream in multi-second increments from a relative or absolute time index. This workaround is very useful when playing videos that are longer than a few minutes.
We encourage comments and look forward to hearing from you. Please note that Yahoo! may, in our sole discretion, remove comments if they are off topic, inappropriate, or otherwise violate our Terms of Service.
