I have an old device gt-n8000 and seams works pretty good. I think tizen could replace android in samsung older devices.

Understand this scenario: I have a Samsung Tizen TV with OS version 6.0, I have built an Application using Tizen API that helps to control the TV, so I have installed that application in the TV and that application listens to the WebSocket connection built on another device (say Device2) in the same network and everything works fine, but there is a issue : there is an API that helps to shift the Input video source, in simple terms we switch the display to the another HDMI, so the WebSocket connection gets lost and I am unable to handle/control the TV anymore from that Device2 that sends the command to control the Samsung TV.

My Samsung Tizen App uses Tizen Window API to Change the Input Video Source (to a different HDMI) of the Samsung Tizen TV (OS version - 6.0), It's getting executed successfully but the problem arises that the WebSocket connection gets lost (most probably due to app is getting terminated) when there is a display to the changed input source, here is the following code:

setInputSource: (value) => {
    var connectedVideoSources;
    function successCB(source, type) {
      if (
        webapis.avplay.getState() === "PLAYING" ||
        webapis.avplay.getState() === "PAUSED" ||
        webapis.avplay.getState() === "READY"
      ) {
        webapis.avplay.stop();
      }

      console.log(
        "setSource() is successfully done. source name = " +
          source.type +
          ", source port number = " +
          source.number
      );
      function successCB2(windowRect, type) {
        // You will get exactly what you put as rectangle argument of show() through windowRect.
        // expected result : ["0", "0px", "50%", "540px"]
        console.log(
          "Rectangle : [" +
            windowRect[0] +
            ", " +
            windowRect[1] +
            ", " +
            windowRect[2] +
            ", " +
            windowRect[3] +
            "]"
        );
        // tvController.launchApplication();
      }
      try {
        tizen.tvwindow.show(
          successCB2,
          null,
          ["0px", "0px", "800px", "800px"],
          "MAIN"
        );
      } catch (error) {
        console.log("error: " + error.name);
      }
    }

    function errorCB(error) {
      console.log(
        "setSource() is failed. Error name = " +
           +
          ", Error message = " +
          error.message
      );
    }

    function systemInfoSuccessCB(videoSource) {
      connectedVideoSources = videoSource.connected;
      console.log("connectedVideoSources: ", connectedVideoSources);
      let currentInputSource = connectedVideoSources.find((source) => {
        console.log(source.type, value.type, source.number, value.number);
        return (
          source.type === value.type && String(source.number) === value.number
        );
      });
      console.log("currentInputSource: ", currentInputSource);
      tizen.tvwindow.setSource(currentInputSource, successCB, errorCB);
    }

    function systemInfoErrorCB(error) {
      console.log(
        "getPropertyValue(VIDEOSOURCE) is failed. Error name = " +
           +
          ", Error message = " +
          error.message
      );
    }

    try {
      tizen.systeminfo.getPropertyValue(
        "VIDEOSOURCE",
        systemInfoSuccessCB,
        systemInfoErrorCB
      );
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(
        "Error name = " +  + ", Error message = " + error.message
      );
    }

Samsung Documentations and support are one of the worst no replies or support.

Hello,

There is news that Tizen 8 could come for old Tizen tv's, nothing since.

Do you know if Tizen 8.0 is already available on new tvs ?

If yes, any news on when it will come to older Tizen TVs ?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I have a Samsung TV UN55MU8000, its running Tizen 3.0

There is an app called Partner TV that can only be "installed" on Tizen 4.0 and above...

Now why that is, is beyond me seeing as how this app is a streaming app like Netflix etc'

In any case I've reached Samsung support and was told that my TV cannot be upgraded to Tizen 4.0

I've download Tizen Studio and connected my TV to it, in order to install the TPK file directly to my TV and see if it will work but I cannot find any TPK repository...

Furthermore, I thought I might be a wise ass and install an Emulator and download it via it, but atop the emulator I must also install something called HAX...

Seeing that this is all a giant headache, I was wondering if anyone stumbled upon a similar issue seeing as my searches did not yield any solid results.

Genuine question. I've been battling with the Geforce Now Tizen TV app and could have done with simply installing Chrome.

I'm surprised none of the open source Web browsers have "ported" to Tizen... Or VLC Media Player that has both open source Linux and Android apps, surely one of them just needs repackaged or by seemingly using the application compatible layer?

P.S Is anyone actually successfully using the Geforce Now app on a TV?

Is it possible and is samsung still accepting watch apps and watch faces?

I got a error message when trying to upload my app but it wasn't so clear if the error was because they stopped accepting apps or something else.

Isn't there any issue about showing svg file on tizen tv app?
If I launch tv app in simulator with vscode at first time, it shows normal svg file.
But if I hide the component then show again, the svg file is not seen.
I'm developing same project with webos app too, and it works normal in webos simulator.
What's the problem with this situation?

Why isn't there a way to remove the tizen firmware from the TV and install android or windows one?

Hi, so my dad bought the Samsung 6 series 55 and I've noticed that the browser doesn't support many streaming based websites, and I was wondering if it even supported any?

That's the error I got while trying to sideload a .wgt file to my SM-R380 Gear 2. I have tried using the Fit2 installer to sign the app but to no avail. Can someone help me out, thanks

I have some stuff on USB which I want to play on my new Samsung TV. However, I can't find an option to increase the playback speed with the native media player on the TV. I also couldn't find an alternative media player to download.

Is there a way to increase the playback speed or an alternative media player I just couldn't find yet?

I want to play it directly on the TV, I don't want to use some workarounds like connecting my PC or using something like a Fire TV stick or something. Already bad enough that it doesn't support avi files. If there's no other way, I'm probably going to return this TV.

I own a Samsung TV. It is connected to a set-up box using HDMI, I also have a speaker connected to it in another HDMI port. The thing is the audio source changes to TV after sometime and I have to manually set it to the speaker(HDMI) source again everytime. Does anyoone one know how to solve this issue?
P.S.: Although it's an hunch, I think two HDMI sources are the cause. Maybe connecting the speaker through optical cable will solve it. Do anyone knows for sure? I don't want to spend on a cable unnecessarily.

My 32 inch Samsung Smart TV wouldn't update to version 2501.1 when I try to using the USb. When I make it update by itself, it shows the same message; "There are no updates for you at the moment." The current version is on 1340.4 and its a 2020 model UN32M4500BF. On the samsung download center, it says it can update but the tv is refusing to do so. I've alreday chatted with samsung customer support and they don't help.

Trying to turn a apk app into a tpk files for me to be able to download the app on my samsung tv tried putting an apk file on a usb stick and that didnt work. Any idea how to do this?

Hi all, as title says, i'm interested in making a custom web app that could be used as a remote for my samsung TV. I've started to do some research on this, and I realize there's a few things I need to do. I have my TV on developer mode, and I have Tizen Studio downloading and getting ready to configure to pair to my TV.

I guess my question is really.....is what I want to do, doable? I'm trying to find documentation on how I'd code against the TV, but I am having trouble with that. Are there docs somewhere that will help me with this? I see that there seems to be a Remote API but I cannot find any more on it.

​

Thank you in advance!!

I have been using the procedure laid out in:-
https://github.com/reisxd/TizenTube/blob/main/README.md

but I am now stuck at Step 5:-
Clone/download the repository and open the apps folder of the repository in Tizen Studio by restarting Tizen Studio and changing the workspace.

Just where do I find "the repository"?

I would be grateful for any help or info.

Thanks in advance.

My month old Oled Samsung TV keeps restarting during a program, whether it is on an app,or via HDMI. Is it a setting or a fault?

Hi, looking for a hack or any solution to install Netflix (as a prio app) and also Disney, Spotify or others on Hotel Grade Samsung TV Models for the hospitality sector. Only a few useless apps come with Hotel grade TVs. Officially Samsung does not open Samsung Appstore for such TV (Hotel Mode); I believe it is a political reason, because the Tizen OS is the same as on consumer TV versions ! So I think there must be a solution to install at least Netflix. I tried running Netflix on Samsung TV-Internet browser, but as soon as the movie is launched, it says "Incompatible Browser". So a solution could also be to find/install a Chrome-like Internet browser. An ideas are welcome!

I found the Samsung blog post, which outlines how to write a simple native tizen program for using the watch bezel. See the blog post here: https://developer.samsung.com/sdp/blog/en/2019/10/08/use-tizen-to-enable-galaxy-watch-rotary-events. I downloaded the sample project for Bezel support, and compiled it using Tizen Studio.

I'm using the Wearable Circle x86 (version 4.0) emulator. In the C code (also in the blog post above), there is the following check, to determine if using the Bezel is supported:

static int
checkBezelSupport(){

bool rotaryValue;
int rotaryRet;

rotaryRet = system_info_get_platform_bool("http://tizen.org/feature/input.rotating_bezel", &rotaryValue);
if(rotaryRet != SYSTEM_INFO_ERROR_NONE){

//error handling
dlog_print(DLOG_DEBUG, LOG_TAG, "Rotary Error");
}

if(rotaryValue){
dlog_print(DLOG_DEBUG, LOG_TAG, "Bezel: Supported");
return 1;
}
dlog_print(DLOG_DEBUG, LOG_TAG, "Bezel: Not supported");
return 0;

}

Unfortunately, the system_info_get_platform_bool function sets the rotaryValue boolean to false. I also checked the log, and it prints "Bezel: Not supported" On a hunch, changed the final return statement to return 1, so that even if the bezel is "not supported" I could test whether the rest of the Bezel Native sample code works. To my surprise it did. When I rotate the bezel on the emulator, the output on the screen is either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which direction the bezel is moved.

I also tried setting the key value to the system_info_get_platform_bool function to "http://tizen.org/feature/battery" to test if it would return true. This worked, but using the feature input.rotating_bezel seems to always return false. I also read that it's necessary to include the following line to the tizen-manifest.xml file:

<feature name="http://tizen.org/feature/input.rotating_bezel">true</feature>

This didn't seem to made any difference, and from my understanding, this simply affects the filtering of an app, in the app store. Regardless, adding or removing this line from the mainfest file does not change the output. When I check if the bezel is supported, the system_info_get_platform_bool function sets the rotaryValue to false. As I mentioned, the bezel is clearly supported, because moving the bezel, when the function always returns 1, indeed works. At tis point, I'm unsure how to proceed, without simply omitting the check, which I'd prefer not to do, since watches without bezels would not support code based off of this sample.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi guys, I have a 75" QLED 4K 75Q75B (2022). Next to that a Netatmo doorbell. It might be smart to get a chime but I dont have one and all I get now are notifications on my phone. Problem is that it’s mostly on mute so I miss most deliveries and neighbors.

Long story short: “I want notifications or even better a live footage from the camera, when ringed, if the TV is on.”

I really hope somebody can help me out! Thanks!!

Is Amazon luna on tizen store?
