[Avid-L2] Re: OTish: Meta Data, Meta Data, Meta Data on Smart TV's/Netflix? TV's/Netflix?

 

After a little googling it's part of display customization Viera Banner Off to lose the ads. There is another setting to make the TV alway power up on full screen. There are a zillion things to figure out on this thing. I sees the direct tv box as a media server but the DNLA server interface can read titles but not the files. It also sees my old windowsxp media center pc but I haven't figured out what I can access through the interface. All this and I haven't even begun to wire the arc audio interface and program the receiver for all it's matrixing options including SD composite to HD. busy times ahead.

I have the Direct TV Genie system Whole Home DVR setup. I'm noticing when I go to Netflix directly through the TV and watch something like Weeds the first time I hit the volume control the level box pops up larger then normal and has an add under the volume slider. I've seen a Canon EOS add and others I can't remember. Subsequent volume adjustment and the add is not there. I also see this behavior when watching the direct tv genie box playing back a recorded show and last night I was watching ABC ch. 7 LA live off the direct tv satelite and an ad pop up box came up in the middle of a show. It wasn't an in show window of opportunity promo it was a car ad IIRC.

Also the pop up box covered part of the lower right ABC bug which is partly why I think the smart tv was adding it or the satellite box is doing it. Does anybody know where this type of metadata add insertion is coming from? Does Panasonic have a server that communicates this data to my set or who is orchestrating this stuff. I had no idea they had so many hooks into a smart tv and or direct tv satellite box. Very interesting stuff.
