    Hi, I just bought a Hisense TV model 55U72NQ. Already at the purchase stage I knew that Jellyfin was not available as an app within the VidaaStore so I was looking for possible solutions on how to overcome the problem and I started searching a bit arriving on the JellyFin forum.

    As an ignoramus in the matter I wanted to ask the more experienced what the difference was between:
    - VidaaEdge - Self-hosted
    - VidaaEdge - Hosted

    Thank you in Advice

    The self-hosted version is more intended for developers or users who are comfortable hosting the project themselves.
    If you just want to install your own Jellyfin instance on the TV, it's enough to follow the documentation for the hosted version. Use the (+) button and enter your own instance ip (http://ip-to-jellyfin), enter a link for the icon, give it a name and hit install Smiling-face.

    So I'm struggling to complete this with a mate who has a hisense TV. We completed all the steps as shown, obviously changing the IP for the server to my server but it just comes up "installation failed" - is the com_jellyfin still active or is there another way to try this? I've tried my server's http and https which I know both work as I have separate devices using http and https available.

    Another thing as well, http://vidaahub.com appears to no longer work, but vidaa.flummi.ch does work and comes up with the same page as indicated below with the "Apps" and the + in the top right, I've pressed the + and completed all the details com_jellyfin, Jellyfin, thumbnail and then my server IP both http and https tried, both say installation failed. DNS has been changed to 152.53.85.187 prior to trying vidaahub.com

    Self hosted is on the tv?

    Hosted is a pc or orange pi?
    Ignore Self-Hosted part!


    Follow this steps:
    1. Go to TV Network Settings:
      • For DNS Server 1, enter:
        Code:
        152.53.85.187
      • Click SAVE.

    2. Open Web Browser:
      • Enter the URL:
        Code:
        https://vidaahub.com
      • If a popup message appears, ACCEPT the certificate (for SSL).
      • If it's not working (e.g., error page not loading), try:
        Code:
        http://vidaahub.com

    3. Add the App:
      • Click the (+) Button in the top-right corner.

      • Enter the following details:
        • App ID:
          Code:
          com_jellyfin
        • App Name:
          Code:
          Jellyfin
        • Thumbnail:
          Code:
          https://fra1.mirror.jellyfin.org/static/forum/images/jellyfin-main.png
        • App URL:
          Code:
          https://YOUR-JELLYFIN-URL

          [Image: A3RbAQT.png]

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to install Jellyfin on my Hisense TV running Vidaa OS, following the guide in this thread (specifically using vidaa.flummi.ch for the developer console).

    I've correctly entered all the details for the custom app (App ID: com_jellyfin, App URL: http://192.168.1.118:8096 - my Jellyfin server is confirmed to be running and accessible on my local network at this address and port).

    However, when I click "Install", the installation consistently fails. I've taken a screenshot of the console output, which shows the following error:

    > Checking: if the device is running Vidaa OS.
    > Firmware version detected: V0000.08.53A.P0220
    > Installing Jellyfin
    > Installation failed for Jellyfin: ReferenceError:
    > Hisense_installApp is not defined
    > > Installing Jellyfin
    > > Installation failed for Jellyfin: ReferenceError:
    > > Hisense_installApp is not defined

    This "ReferenceError: Hisense_installApp is not defined" seems to indicate that the JavaScript function used for custom app installation is no longer available or has been removed/changed in my specific Vidaa OS firmware version (V0000.08.53A.P0220).

    Has anyone else encountered this error on newer Vidaa OS versions? Is there a new method to sideload apps, or has Hisense effectively blocked this functionality?

    Any insights or alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi All,

    I have managed to get the jellyfin app installed on a Toshiba TV running Vidaa
    It took a bit of fettling but I noticed there are gaps in the documentation on the vidda.flummi.ch site
    I guess this is aimed at non experts. Sorry about the formatting please don't have a go I am just trying to help a few people!!

    Jellyfin for Vidaa install

    As per the documentation page at https://vidaa.flummi.ch/documentation/self-hosted

    You will need a linux device, this is based on a Debian release use apt

    1.) Go to a suitable directory I used "~/Downloads"
    2.) Run "git clone https://github.com/weinzii/vidaa-edge.git"
    Note - if you haven't got git installed run "sudo apt install git"
    3.) change directory "cd vidaa-edge"
    4.) Install Node.js for your distro
    On a raspberry pi follow https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-nodejs/
    5.) Run "npm install" must be in the vidaa-edge directory
    6.) Lookout for errors and warnings, I needed to run "npm audit fix" and "npm audit fix --force"
    7.) Run "sudo npm install -g @angular/cli"
    Note - I needed to run "sudo npm install -g npm@11.5.1" to bring npm up to date
    8.) Run "sudo add --global nx"
    9.) Run "sudo nx serve"
    10.) The nx instance should now start up the first line will be "nx run vidaa-edge:serve:development"

    Now you go to your TV
    Firstly you will need to redirect the url of the linux machine to viddahub.com
    In pihole (if you are using it) open the admin panel, goto Settings > Local DNS Records, add a local DNS record with the domain as vidaahub.com and the IP as your local ip for the linux machine.
    Now on the TV goto settings > Network> Your connection and change from DHCP to manual and add your linux server IP in the DNS1 entry. Screenshots are shown here https://vidaa.flummi.ch/documentation/hosted (don't use the ip shown in the screen shots)
    Open the browser
    Open "https://vidaahub.com"
    You should see the VidaaEdge web page
    Use the plus icon in the top right
    In the form add
    App ID - com.jellyfin
    App Name - Jellyfin
    Thumbnail URL - A url that points to the jellyfin logo (I couldn't get this to work and my app icon is blank!!)
    App URL - IP address of Jellyfin Server (for example "http://192.168.1.100:8096" (Note I tried both https: and http:, you might have to try both to get it to work.)
    You should see a green message "App Installed"

    If it has all worked there will be an additional app icon at the end of all the app icons on the Home screen, note it might be blank but will have a green dot to indicate a new app. Select the icon and Jellyfin should start up, login and remember to tick rember login.

    Good Luck!
