Order Pizza from Your AppleTV?

Posted by Adam Kuban, January 21, 2008

20080121-appletv.jpgI wish this AppleTV hack had screenshots or a video demo:

0.3.0 Brings in the much awaited Pizza on Demand (POD for short) This exciting feature will allow you to order pizza from Domino's and Papa John's directly from your AppleTV! Currently it is only possible to order one pizza with multiple toppings, this will change in the future as long as we can still develop plugins in AppleTV 2.0.

Installation: Pizza on Demand has a few essential requirements before it can function properly. 1. WebKit (Choose install software from the POD menu and then webkit installer) 2. Safari 3.0.3 or higher 3. UI Scripting enabled (this should be done during the installation of WebKit) 4. Must be in the US (sorry hope to expand this later) 5. Pre-existing accounts on Papa John's and/or Domino's online 6. Configure the accounts (Edit account Information from POD menu)

Ordering: After choosing Place Order, Safari will be launched and scripted (similar to the emulators being scripted) to fill out your order. If it stops before being finished and returns to the backrow list that means the UI scripting hit a snag. The timing is a little difficult for the loading of each web page so some times it fails and sometimes it succeeds, the release was rushed because of the upcoming take 2 release.

Or you could just, you know, use a phone. [via AppleTV Hacks, thanks to Dan Dickinson]
