There seems to be a general obsession with getting flash onto mobile devices of all kinds, but little documentation around running it from a set-top box. Given this is what I want to do, I thought I would write about some of the considerations, given there appears to be little else written about this other than some high-level points and brief tutorials on the Adobe site. Apologies in advance to anyone else stumbling across this article…it provides no answers, but perhaps some helpful sole will comment.

Availability:

Availability lists seem to show mobile devices, when in fact there is no reason a fridge couldn’t be flash enabled or even a tap. So firstly I would like to know what set-top boxes, available now have Flash Lite 3.1 on them, and where can they be purchased from?

Software Stack

Now if these mysterious devices do indeed exist, what comes with them? Do you get a video player, with all the c++ extensions and ActionScript methods all sitting there waiting to be used, or is this a prerequisite of the development?

Hopefully this is enough for this post to surface in Google and maybe the lack of any helpful information will encourage others to improve the level of support in this area. Updates once I learn more…
