How would you link to a specific movie in the movies app from your app? Using UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL and an iTunes link (such as http://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/movie/mad-max-fury-road/id990549112?mt=6) does not work and gives the error "LaunchServices: ERROR: There is no registered handler for URL scheme http".
Is there an URL scheme for the default Movies app on tvOS and if so, how do you use it to open a specific movie?
I don't have the device yet, so I couldn't try this: Is itms:// registered by the store app on tvOS?
If you are using tvml and js to do it, this js will work.
var myVideo = new MediaItem('video', VIDEO_URL);
var player = new Player();
player.playlist = new Playlist();
player.playlist.push(myVideo);
player.play();
That code looks like it expects a video URL to an actual m3u8, ks that true? OP is talking about a URL to an iTunes Store listing for a movie. I'm looking to answer the same question. Setting up my hardware this weekend, so I'lll try the itns scheme.
Hoping there is a way to make thsi work, feels like a huge oversight if it doesn't.
Any luck? I'm trying to accomplish the same thing. http, https and itms don't work when passed to [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:]
Did anyone get it to work to link to the itunes store via TVML?
