Support on Samsung Smart TVs


Hi,

JW Player is an awesome Flash Player. I think it's one of the best players to work with and the documentation and forums are so quick to respond and update. But I don't think you guys offer support for this on Samsung Smart TVs? Are there any plans to provide support for the same on Samsung Smart TVs at the App Level, since they support Flash Players by default.

Do Samsung Smart TVs have a built in web browser?

They do have a default web browser that works alright for my web-sites using JW Player. What I'm more interested in is support at the App level and not the browser per se.

The player is only embedded inside of a website. We do not have any “app” version of the player available.

The App-Engine of the Samsung TVs is a browser. An App is defined as HTML/JS/Flash and then rendered by the browser (I read its a "Maple" Engine somewhere)

jw-player works fine in the Samsung TV emulator, but not on the device. I would guess it's a problem in jwplayer.js.

I'm also trying to use JWplayer in a Samsung Smart TV. I'm trying to play an html5 video, but all I get is a black screen in the Emulator (version 3.0a).
Steffen, have you managed to make it work with html5? Could you please provide a code snippet?

Its a shame jw player and the Samsung Smart TV Browser don't see each other well.

Wanted to view live streaming on my TV instead of computer.

As stated above, video works, but no sound !

Here is the link to website: http://www.akalmultimedia.com/

It's not mine.

Looks like there are so many caveats to play flash player in Samsung Smart TV.

I bought the Samsung SMART TV especially to watch flash based live streams. But I'll say 50% doesn't work. Looks like andriod based dongles are a better choice in terms of features and cost.
