I have an samsung tv as said in the title and im looking up for downloading 3rd party apps on it. I decided to try turning on developer mode whatever it is (by typing 12345 in apps) and logging on DEVELOP account and the first thing i tried is moving tpk files on a usb stick like ACL or chrome but ofc the file explorer didn't see them so i searched deeper and found out i need sdb for it. Do any of you have anything to recommend to do step by step? Or is it as easy as downloading a sdb cmd line and connecting the tv to my pc ip and connecting from the pc to that tv and sending a tpk file with a command? I have never done such things on samsung tvs and only done dirty flashing and flashing stuff from adb on phones so im kind of new to this.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up the Tizen Emulator on my MacBook with an M1 chip, but I keep running into an issue where it says: “Your system cannot support HW virtualization. Try install KVM (Ubuntu) or HAX (Windows or Mac).”

From what I understand, Intel HAXM is not supported on Apple Silicon because it lacks Intel VT-x, but I’m wondering if anyone has successfully set up the Tizen Emulator on an M1 or M2 Mac?

My current fallback is using Samsung’s Remote Test Lab or deploying to physical devices, but I’d love to get the emulator running locally. Has anyone faced this issue or found a workaround for Apple Silicon?

Hello I was wondering if wanted to watch something not available on the App store, but when using things like Internet, Dex or another third party application for streaming to TV the quality is heavily impacted. I'm talking low quality sound and picture. But on my phone it's perfect. Any ideas, is this a piracy protection? Or is streaming that had with Internet on the TV and or Casting.

I’m thinking of running Tizen TV on my raspberry PI but there is no way to get this image since the website doesn’t exist. Does anybody another way I could retrieve it?

I am a beginner in TV programming (tizen & webos). Can anyone tell me which library is the best for navigating to elements on TV? I work with Reactjs

How can i fix it

I have a Tizen web application (with versions for Tizen 4.0 and Tizen 6.5), it is running on Digital Signage TVs

One of the functions of my app is to set and read on/off timers. I found that my app is showing the correct time, the on/off timers that I set were actually turning the screen on and off at the wrong time

The cause of this ended up being that the system time was set to an incorrect time

It would be really nice if I could display the current system time to the user, to make it obvious when the system time is wildly different to the time that the web app is displaying - is there any way to do this?

I found my old galaxy watch from 2020 (Galaxy Watch 42mm Midnight Black). I want to develop a few small apps for fun. Did anyone manage to develop an app using Xamarin / .NET MAUI? I can only find SDKs for Tizen 6.0+ and mine has 5.5

Hi! I decided to try to create an application for Samsung Smart TV running Tizen.

And I noticed that some applications (mostly games) contain advertising (short videos).

How to embed advertising in my application on Tizen?

Which advertising networks work with Tizen? Or is it possible to insert advertising from the Samsung ads network?

I couldn't find any information online on how to enable Developer Mode on my Samsung TV after I updated to Tizen OS 8.0. It no longer works with the 12345 method in 'Apps', because 'Apps' is now just a tab on the home screen.

That said, I was able to figure it out. You need to select the 'Apps' tab at the top of your home screen. Then you need to scroll all the way down to 'App Settings' at the bottom of the screen. Enter 'App Settings' and then use the color 123 button to bring up the on-screen keyboard and enter "12345" and hit 'Done'. That's it.

Italian S94C seems to have received the update, can't wait.

Too bad it's not Android....

I recently applied the new One UI update to my TV; however, I can no longer figure out how to enable developer mode to re-install the Jellyfin app.

Does anyone know how to do this? I assume there is still a way with the smart remote and the on-screen numbers.

I have a Samsung QN90C TV.

I've had issues with the software in the past so I want to make sure this won't break anything. I finally got Q symphony working properly after the last update.

Another concern is if it will resurrect Samsung TV Plus which I disabled by deleting all the channels.

Hi all,

Hoping you can help. My mate got himself a Samsung TV with Tizen and my god it's a nightmare (It's snappy and all that, but just trying to install say Jellyfin and it's becoming a whole headache. I deally I need to install Jellyfin and YouTube Adfree. The rest is good, just those two apps.

At the moment, I'm trying to open Device Manager from Tizen Studio, but no matter what I do, install and even on different computers I get the error "Unexpected exception occured" There is an incompatible JNA native library installed on this system.

- remove or uninstall the offending library

- set the system property jna.nosys=true

- set jna.boot.library.path to include the path to the version of the jnidispatch library included with the JNA jar file you are using.

On Samsung site they said it doesn't need Java, but yet in the folder for Tizen, there's .jar files. I've installed JDK 8

Any help please, this tv is close to be coming a the biggest thing I've thrown out of the window.

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Hello everyone , how can ı open development mode in sssp 2

I have an IPTV provider and I’m looking for a good app to use on my Samsung Smart TV. I’ve tried quite a few but haven’t fallen in love with any interface yet. I want one where I can add favorites, sort channels, and hide channels that I don’t want/need. What do you guys use? I don’t mind paying for an app if it’s got all those functions. Thanks!

I’m tired of ads any website has ads videos wont work i cant add new apps i cant do shit

There’s no play store no browsers no apps no nothing

I have Samsung Tizen Z3 (SM-Z300H) and I am unable to root it using applications like Magisk as it has Tizen OS. Any other way to root it? Also provide some Custom ROM(s) that may compatible with this device.

That's it. I have an 50CU7700 Samsung TV and tried to follow theses steps: https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/getting-started/using-sdk/tv-device.html#Connecting-the-TV-and-SDK, but it won't work for me (tried both smart remote and Smart Things app). I contacted user support, that said my TV model doesn't have Developer Mode. Is this really possible? I mean, it's Android OS afterall, right?

Anyone knows how to really shutdown this Smart monitor? Holding down the remote's power button doesn't work. And it eats up 18w while on standby.

Only way that works consistently is cutting off the power (pulling the plug) and ot sux.

It's about the 43" model.

Hi,
I have a Samsung TV UE43J5600 from 2015. Can I upgrade my OS to Tizen 3.0 or newer?

I own a Samsung QN75 series with software version T-MSMAKUC-1420.0

I’ve not been able to activate Developer Mode at all. From Home go to and select Apps. Use the 123 Smart button to bring up the virtual number keyboard Press1, 2, 3, 3, 5, Done - nothing happens I bought this TV in 2020,and it indicate previous year model (2019) Am I just SOL on activating Dev Mode and any possibility of ACL for APK apps?

TBH: just trying to avoid buying another FireStick, if I don’t need to.

I'm planning to get a Samsung tv just to use as a dashboard in the company. Can I depend on the browser to open a modern web page?

Hello,

I'm trying to build an x86_64 Tizen image with a custom very minimal kickstart file. My goal is to have a minimalistic but functional system. However when I try to build the image with mic, it creates the tizen-bootstrap chroot environment on my Ubuntu 22.04 server, then fails with the error saying that no extlinux command is available in the chroot. I checked, the chroot is populated with the mic-bootstrap-x86-arm RPM package which contains no extlinux so I don't understand how mic expects extlinux binary to be present. Could someone help me please? My exact command is: "mic create raw -A x86_64 minimal.ks". Image type "fs" build works properly but it has no kernel so it is not bootable, the same happens if I build a "loop" image - only rootfs is built, no kernel, so I would definitely need a bootable raw image. Thank you in advance.

I am building a Tizen web app but this should be relevant to native apps or .NET apps as well.

I download a file using:

var downloadRequest = new tizen.DownloadRequest(url, path);
var downloadId = tizen.download.start(downloadRequest, downloadListener);

Due to poor internet connectivity at some sites the downloads can fail to complete. If you run the same code on the same download file it does not resume the download but starts at 0. On a poor internet connection the restarts could consume huge amounts of data due to the large size of the files. On a mobile capped connection this can cause large bills and/or blocked connections due to hitting the cap.

There is a .resume function but it’s purpose is to resume user paused downloads. It does not function as a resumable download function.

I tested by starting a large download and kill the app part way. I then started the download again and it started from 0 but this time because the file existed and it named it filename(1).ext.

My question is, how do I resume a failed download from the last position?

We have a number of screens running our own Signage software, running from URL Launcher. It has filled up all storage, so that it is impossible to install new versions of the app and it has old firmware which lacks the menu option "Menu -> System -> General -> Empty storage"..
Factory reset does not empty storage, and I am unable to access the filesystem using the remote.

Any suggestions?

My test device is model PM32F

So I entered developer mode in my tv

What to do next or what apps should I add and how can I use my pc to make the tv better?
