Compatibility

TVS is designed to run on all platforms that support the latest version of the Chromium browser. Browsers like Google Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc. will work. Firefox and Safari may run but support is not guaranteed.

Tip

As of publication, Baseline 2023 web features are observed. If you’re using an out of date browser you may encounter problems.

Browser Configuration

For the best user experience, you’ll likely need to change permission settings to allow autoplaying audio and video. Since the project is designed around flipping through channels, clicking a play button would make it less enjoyable, therefore autoplay is essential.

Without modifying any browser settings, the simulator starts off muted and you must press M to unmute, which hopefully will meet the browser’s threshold for interaction to allow videos and audio to play. Similarly, to connect a phone remote you must press R to display the QR code, which allows audio to play unmuted.
