tadbitnerdy 2 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi everyone, I hope I didn't just mess up here (guess I can return the tv if needed). I bought a new 2017 samsung smart tv (40MU6300) today. From what I read: - All new samsung smart TV's run Tizen - Emby for Tizen in the US is available on the samsung app store Now however, I believe I messed up, because I cannot find the app in the app store. Are there new samsung smart TVs that don't run Tizen? If not, and the app should be there, how do I get to it? Thanks, -Tad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5139 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Are you in the US? By your local time I'm guessing maybe Europe. I believe you're actually the first with a 2017 to report anything According to Samsung's table you're running Tizen, so you should be okay there. http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/specifications/tv-model-lineup I'm guessing either you're not in the US, or if you are then Luke may have to tell Samsung to allow 2017s to download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbitnerdy 2 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi FrostByte! I'm in the US. Ah, so each model year needs to be allowed access to the app? Sorry, not sure how the ecosystem works. Thanks! -Tad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5139 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Luke and SamES of course would know better than I if that's indeed the case, but it seems like what I've read in here that they keep having to ask Samsung to test other models to make it available. I believe this is the first time they will be supporting newer models since the app came out and I was hoping it would be automatic since I'm look at a third Samsung TV myself, but it doesn't appear so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5139 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I did notice according to the chart Samsung recommends using the newer Tizen SDK when writing apps for your TV Edited April 22, 2017 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbitnerdy 2 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks for the help! If the newer SDK is 'recommended', then I would think you could still run the app using the older SDK on the newer software/hardware. Anyways, guess I'll by streaming Emby to the TV for now. Thanks, -Tad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolkienBard 54 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I just hooked up my 43MU6300 and am experiencing the same issue, Emby does not show up when I go to search for it in the app section. Annoyingly, Plex does (one of the first listed apps). However, even doing a manual search reports no apps for Emby. I was soooo stoked for this too. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you all figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TolkienBard 54 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 No worries. I didn't realize each model was getting its own certificate, I just saw 2014-present and then 2017 models listed in the chart. I'll keep my knickers on and wait for you all to do your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbitnerdy 2 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi Luke, any updates on the 2017 Samsung model? I've seen two new version of the software come up, but no news on the 2017 TVs.

TolkienBard 54 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah, Samsung just dropped a bunch of new apps in the "store" a few days ago. I was really hoping Emby would be part of the new crop. It seems Samsung is still dragging its feet though. But hey, they make sure to have Plex pre-installed on the televisions. How nice of them. When Plex first came out, I gave it a look-see to compare it to what is now Emby. I am so glad I never decided to make the switch. Now I just get annoyed seeing Plex everywhere. Not only does it cost a great deal more, but it is quickly becoming an inferior product in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37994 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks for the feedback. Our 2017 release is currently in testing and we are able to verify they are actively testing it so we can at least say for sure that they're working on it. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
