[@bhogalandson]

Hi Karthik, this was very helpful. I am trying to write an app that will allow me to show messages from an external source on the Samsung TV. For example, I might want to display a message 'Please turn the volume down, the baby is trying to sleep' Do you have any ideas how I can send messages from another device (laptop, phone, etc) to the Samsung TV and have them displayed?

[@MaududHasan]

Hallo can you take a order to create a app ?

[@karthicdnims]

Hello. Yeas I am interested to. Can you please give me a little bit more detail about the application.

[@bhogalandson]

Hi Karthik, just wanted to check in with you to see how your tutorial about the web api library of the samsung smart tv sdk is going. I am really, really looking forward to checking it out!

[@karthicdnims]

[@bhogalandson]

[@Imortal2012VT]

I did like you, and install the 4.1, if i install the 4.5 or 5.1 do i`ll have problems? Firstval may smartsamsung is from 2013 and my window 7- 64. What you recomend to me about de emulator?

[@karthicdnims]

***** There are some compatibility reasons with the latest sdk and tv. I think we should need 2014 smart tv. You can give a try on your tv with the latest sdk installed. I do not have a real tv yet to test it. (relying on the emulator)

[@newlife2596]

Hi just saw ur video u did a good job what does that app do after u download it? Is it to get apps off a computer n put them on the smart tv? I hope so I'm trying to do that w.o. having to use wires or setup my tower to the tv just so I can watch showbox I know I can watch showbox on the computer itself ain't nothing like that big screen n cheesecake lol u sound (type) very knowledgeable if u have any advice to my problem please share thanks

[@karthicdnims]

Stacey Anderson Hi you can definitely do that. I will definitely make a video on that. In the mean time please refer to the following link. This will help you on running ur apps on the tv samsungdforum.com/Guide/?FolderName=art00121&FileName=index.html

[@cherryblossom7325]

+karthic nims could you make a tutorial from start to finish showing how to create javascript video player app for samsung smart tv that plays m3u playlist from a remote url and allow to switch between videos ? Thanks in advance!

[@karthicdnims]

Will be done after my current video. Sorry for the delay....Adding it to my task list... See you soon

[@kiwijunglist]

Hi Can you point me towards a resource for controlling 2014+ samsung smart tvs via network connection. I wish to change 3d mode using an api call or similar method using c++.

[@karthicdnims]

kiwijunglist I am mostly into javascript development. If you need c++ then samsung smart tv provides chrome based native apps (NACl) using c++. You can look at the following link for further details samsungdforum.com/Guide/?FolderName=ovw029&FileName=index.html There you can find sections on websockets, tcp sockets etc thay my help you with the network based communication part. If i start with c++ based in the future (interested in tv based gaming) .. I will definitely share my insights

[@karthicdnims]

Please try running as well as installing the app as the main administrator... Even i had these issues...

[@TheCrewriders]

i have this problem. here at 2:47 , i was looking for the samsung smart tv apps folder but i did not have that. then i checked every folder there was but there was no such thing as samsung smart tv javascript app project. i have the sdk for MAC. PLZ help me.

[@karthicdnims]

The Crew riders May I know the version of the sdk you are using.

[@TheCrewriders]

karthic nims i am using version 1.4

[@bIbiNwILsOn]

Nice Work Macha!!! Keep it up :)

[@TheDerek47]

Does this apply to apps like KZbin, which no longer supports Samsung's earlier Smart tv, un46D6000 (released 2011)?

[@karthicdnims]

The method demonstrated in this video tutorial, will apply to Samsung Smart TV models from 2013 models onwards. For supporting the older versions, I think we need to bundle the application using a much older IDE. That too, the oldest IDE was released in the year 2012. If the TV you are mentioning has the ability to install apps, then you should probably try out the older version of SDK. The Sdk can be downloaded from the following link developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/tools/tv-extension/archive

[@TheDerek47]

Would be cool if there was a site that listed all the apps available for my Model UN46D6000. Sad that there are no hardware upgrades to my tv, unlike my PC, which cost significantly less $$.

[@karthicdnims]

Yeah sounds good. I am not sure of any such websites providing those listings. Whereas on the other side, sounds like an interesting idea to work on, during free time though :P

[@polterm99]

Karthik, really looking forward to your future tutorial on the topic!

HI, I want to write a RTP player (which can receive audio/video stream from a content generator and plays it back) for samsung tizen tv. RTP player code will be in C++. I know the player code and how it will be written. But I don't know how to put this in the form of a Tizen APP which can be installed in a Samsung Tizen TV. Could you please help me here.

[@karthicdnims]

Hi Kavitha, I will get back to you real soon on how to integrate a C++ app into Tizen TV. I have done a tutorial on that yet

[@kavitasahu129]

Thank you for your reply.

[@ahmedsoliman1168]

Nice Work Karthic, after running your sample successfully the emulator always crash. do you know why?

[@GiorgioPrimiceri]

I need "IPTV" on my Samsung ps58c6500. Is there an app?

[@karthicdnims]

Giorgio Primiceri You can search the app store under the following link www.samsung.com/levant/smarthub/smartHub/app_list.html I think there are none. Still search it once again

[@karthicdnims]

If you have installed the 4.5 version. of the sdk, then u have to download the image separately from the site and should run the image in the virtual box software. Please have a look. If you have installed previous versions, please start the sdk (eclipse) under administrator priveleges and run it. You will get it.

[@ShaarawyMohamed]

How to install, the emulator?

[@karthicdnims]

Hi Luis, Based on the version of the sdk you are installing the emulator installation differs. Before 4.5 the emulator is installed by default with the sdk installation. From 4.5 onwards, the emulator is distributed as a machine image. So u have to install virtualbox and import it inside it. I have explained this in my video tutorial. Please take a look at it.
