Someone had to do it.. right? Reviving Nintendo TVii? yes. Making it better? probably

Project Espresso was made with the purpose of reviving Nintendo TVii and probably some other VOD applications.

As a reminder, Nintendo TVii was not an streaming app, but instead, an advanced TV guide with some special features, such as "TV Tag", which allowed users watching the same TV show to comment each other and draw doodles over an screenshot of an show, and even post to Twitter and Facebook.

We have tested some API features and they seem to be working.. Development is continuing

Here are some pictures from our test page:

This test page is still very early and it was loaded from Nintendo TVii using an modded notification.

We are also searching for web developers to help us, and if you are interested on helping with this, you can contact me.

Oh I hope this comes to fruition, TVii was actually really cool, loved the features for watching alongside sports, that stuff was super unique and I loved it.

i'm sorry to tell you but OP, one of the devs for Project Espresso, is just an incompetent 13 year old and the project will most likely not come to fruition.

Yeah, i am not working on Espresso anymore, we are a different project with a few members and devs.

But yes, we are planning to bring back everything, including the TV Tag, which is the interaction between users watching the same show, commenting and even doodling over the screenshot of the show.

Good luck with this... 🤣
i am not working on Espresso anymore
What happened in these 12 hours?

//EDIT:
is just an incompetent 13 year old
That's not fair. I mean I see you where right: The OP jumped the sinking ship before it started to sail but... This has nothing to do with the age. We have some 13 year old coding monkeys doing really impressive work in the community.
So yea, it was an incompetent idiot but this has nothing to do with the age.

tbh, that is true

the current site i made used to be hosted on https://us.vino.wup.espressoforwiiu.net/

The team is working on probably getting a new domain.

I start to see that you're serious with this, so let me give a serious answer:
Most (all?) of the streaming services use Widevine DRM. There is no open source Widevine implementation (for a reason) and the only closed source one for PPC was the one on the Wii U but this is so outdated, it doesn't work anymore.
So sorry to say but what you want to do is an impossible task. Ofc I would love you to prove me wrong but I try to see it realisticaly.

F for the project then. At least Pretendo will revive most Wii U's online functions, the only things that cames to my mind is to give Nintendo TVii a new purpose altogether.

Ik this is an old post (and you're probably not working on this thing anymore) but could you show us footage (on YouTube maybe?) that shows Netflix running on Wii U? (Browsing Menus and trying to play a movie, I doubt movies play tho) im curious how it looks and performs.

Or maybe, could you give a download for the stuff you used to get Netflix Wii U to load the menus? I wanna play around with it, even if it doesn't play movies I would love to be able to browse the Netflix menu on Wii U lol. (Please, I really wanna at least browse Netflix on Wii U...)
And yes, I made an account just to ask this.
