@SamESim still confused because how can samsung say your app can only work on tvs 5 years old or less? When you upload the emby app to the samanung Playstore does it exclude x amount of models? Im not faulting emby but I am trying to understand because I may have to evaluate my purchases of samsung tvs.

Emby does not upload it to the store.  They submit updates to the Samsung's developer portal for evaluation.  Samsung then tests the app against TVs in each tier (premium, standard, and basic), but only for TVs built within 5 years.  Samsung then uploads the apps which pass evaluation to the store. 

When you log into the Samsung store your model number is detected and Samsung controls which TVs see an update.  If an update fails testing for your model, or if your model is never tested because it is too old then you will never see it in the store.

Looks like info that needs to be added to a facts page.

Probably wouldn't hurt.  It's often asked.

A dev or mod should add it to the Notes on the USB install page.

Maybe a pinned post?  Some of that applies to everyone.  Even a brand-new TV may not see an update when an older TV does because it fails testing by Samsung.  Apps are tested by year and also tier within a year so it can get very specific who does and who doesn't see an update.

It needs a little more data also though if it were pinned.
