The purpose of this repository is to automatically build the most up-to-date version of jellyfin-tizen.

For real-time-ish communications, you can join my Discord server.

Disclaimer: I don't have many success stories with TVs older than 2018, but a few people in my Discord server have reported it working for their 2015 and 2016 TVs with the 10.8.z version. This version is not included in new releases, but can be found here

There is a markdown file at COMPATIBILITY.md with the purpose of creating a list of TVs that are known to either work or not work.

This list is intended to be community maintained, and anyone is free to create new additions for the list as you discover new TVs that either do or don't work.

For a GUI installer that automates most of the process, check out this program made by PatrickSt1991 PatrickSt1991/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installer.
For a one-step install process using Docker, check out this guide made by Georift Georift/install-jellyfin-tizen.
I have no affiliation with these installers and I can't provide support related to them. Both of the installers directly use the builds I provide here.

• Tizen Studio with CLI (https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/download)
• Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for VS 2013 x86 and amd64 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
• One of the .wgt files from a release (https://github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds/releases)

1. Install prerequisites. Yup nothing else needed.

1. Activate Developer Mode on TV (https://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/getting-started/using-sdk/tv-device).
2. Connect to TV with Device Manager from Tizen Studio. Typically located in C:\tizen-studio\tools\device-manager\bin
3. Install the package.
   This command assumes the file you are installing is called Jellyfin.wgt. Simply change it to Jellyfin-prerelease.wgt if you are installing the prerelease version. Otherwise you can also just rename the file.

c:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin\tizen.bat install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <the name of your tv>

On Mac the command is instead

$HOME/tizen-studio/tools/ide/bin/tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <the name of your tv>

typically located in (C:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin)

You can find your tv name in Device Manager from Tizen Studio or using sdb devices.

This should only happen if you already have a version installed using a different build certificate.
This can be solved by uninstalling the app prior to attempting to install this version.

Removing it from the app bar is not the same as removing it from the device, you need to actually go into the applications menu and remove it from there.

If you installed Tizen Studio with CLI correctly, then you should find the sdb tool:

On Windows

c:\tizen-studio\tools\sdb

On Mac

$HOME/tizen-studio/tools/sdb

On Linux

~/tizen-studio/tools/sdb

If you enabled developer mode on your TV correctly, then you need to do the following:

• Make sure the TV and the computer running the Tizen Studio with CLI are connected to the same network (for example, the same Wi-Fi)
• Discover the IP address of your TV. You can check the IP of your TV in the Settings > General > Network > Network Status > IP Settings. Or check this depending of your TV model (https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/tv-audio-video/verify-network-status-on-your-samsung-tv/)

Once you have the IP address of your TV connect to it by running this command:

On Windows

c:\tizen-studio\tools\sdb connect <IP of your TV>

On Mac

$HOME/tizen-studio/tools/sdb connect <IP of your TV>

On Linux

~/tizen-studio/tools/sdb connect <IP of your TV>

You should see a message like:

connecting to <IP of your TV>:26101 ...
connected to <IP of your TV>:26101

If you execute sdb devices you should now see your TV in the list, including the name used in the "Deploy to TV" section.
