Appium For Couch Potatoes
summary
Built an Appium HbbTV driver that translates WebDriver commands into Chrome DevTools calls via a devtools-backend proxy, injecting an instrumentation script into TVs and exposing DOM, console logs and network interception. A Raspberry Pi per TV acts as the proxy so many proprietary TV browsers can be reached, and tests run as Selenium Grid parallel runs against live devices. The driver runs real playback and navigation tests on varied TVs, uncovered surprising privacy requests, and works reliably in CI.
