Why it exists

A streaming service needs an app on the living-room TV, and TV apps fail on details a browser never needed: where focus goes when a row ends, what Back does on each screen, how a stalled stream looks. Building that from nothing is weeks of work before the first title plays.

How Vela handles it

Vela is that app as source code. It runs on LG webOS and Samsung Tizen and in any browser, reads your catalogue from one JSON feed, and plays your HLS streams. You rebrand it in one config file and publish it under your own name.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs

  1. 01
    Point it at your content

    Export your catalogue to the documented JSON format, or rewrite four functions to call your own API.

  2. 02
    Make it your brand

    Name, colours, language and launcher icons live in one config file and two images.

  3. 03
    Package and submit

    Build the .ipk with LG’s CLI and the .wgt with Tizen Studio, test on your target TVs, then submit to each store.

Features

What Vela does

  • Remote-control navigation on a predictable row and column grid

  • Continue watching, with Resume and Start over on the detail screen
  • A live TV guide with now, next and progress that follow the real clock
  • Preview on focus and picture-in-picture while browsing
  • One JSON feed for rows, titles, channels and moods; English and Turkish built in

Questions

Which TVs does it run on?

LG TVs with webOS 4 or newer and Samsung TVs with Tizen 4 or newer, roughly 2018 models onward, plus any modern browser. The bundle targets ES2015; older models may need extra polyfills.

Can I connect it to my existing backend?

Yes. Either generate the catalogue JSON from your backend, or replace the four functions in src/api/catalog.js with calls to your API. No screen code has to change.

What is the difference between Standard and Agency?

Standard covers one app under one brand, published on as many platforms as you like. Agency covers unlimited apps, including apps you build for paying clients. Neither lets you resell the source code itself.

Are the demo films included?

The demo uses open movies by the Blender Foundation under Creative Commons Attribution licences, with their posters and stills in the download. The demo streams are hosted by us for evaluation; replace them with your own content before you publish.

Will it pass LG and Samsung review?

It handles what reviewers check most often: Back behaviour, exiting from the home screen, remote-only navigation and media keys. Review also covers your content and how it behaves on specific models, so plan a round of testing on real TVs.

Everything else is in the Vela documentation, and anything it does not answer goes to support@webkoding.com.

What Vela does not do

So you know before you buy, not after.

  • It has no user accounts, login or profiles. Vela is the viewing app; identity is your service’s job.
  • It does not take payments or manage subscriptions.
  • It plays clear HLS. DRM (Widevine, PlayReady) is not included and is integration work of its own.
  • It has no admin panel or CMS. You produce the catalogue feed from whatever system you already run.
  • It has not been through LG or Samsung store review on your behalf. Store approval depends on your content and your testing.
