Hey,

I have been trying to remember the exact steps because it took me about 1.5h to install it on tizen tv ( it was a struggle ) and in the end it wasn't worth it because it was running poorly so after that I just wanted to forget about it. I ran into same problem like you and some other errors.


I ended up folowing this tutorial (keep in mind every step like restarting tv and so on is important) :


To install Jellyfin on your Samsung TV, you must have Tizen Studio with CLI and one of the .wgt files from a release. Here’s what to do:

Install Tizen Studio with CLI via tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/download on your Windows, macOS, or Ubuntu computer.
Go to github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds/releases and get the Jellyfin.wgt file from the latest release.

Enable Developer Mode on your TV by following Samsung’s official guide, or use these steps:
Press the Smart Hub or Home button on your TV remote, then navigate to the Apps
Press 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 on your remote. It should open the Dev Mode configuration window.
Switch Developer Mode to “On,” then enter the host computer’s IP address.
Restart your Samsung Smart TV by holding the Power button for 2-5 seconds.

Launch Tizen Studio from your desktop. Go to the Tools tab and select Device Manager.
Or, launch Tizen Studio Device Manager from the C:\\ > tizen-studio > tools > device-manager > bin
Navigate to the Remote Device Manager window, click the + icon, then assign a name, enter the IP address and Port (26101 by default) for your Samsung Smart TV, and click Add.
You can find your TV name (Device ID) in Tizen Studio Device Manager or by using the “sdb devices” command in the attached terminal.

Open a command prompt or terminal window in the C:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin
Install the Jellyfin for Tizen package using the following command:
tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <TV name> OR .\tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <TV name>

If installing the pre-release version, change it to Jellyfin-prerelease.wgt or rename the file.
Alternatively, right-click on your TV name in Device Manager, and select Permit to install applications. Then, right-click again, select Install app, and pick the .wgt file from the explorer window.

I used LAN cable to connect my laptop to the tv and then I turned off wifi (so no internet ) when I ran the Tizen Studio Device Manager for the first time Windows asked permission for sdb.exe and I allowed it.

The Smart Development Bridge (SDB) is a device management tool included in the Tizen SDK: The SDB manages multiple device connections. You can list connected devices and send a command to a specific device with a serial number that is created by the SDB.

Also I have to try different versions of jellyfin for tizen until one finally worked.

I do apologies for not being more helpfull.

Piggybacking on this thread.

I'm worse than a newb, but I love a challenge.  I've recently discovered Jellyfin for my media.  I have it running on an old HTPC.  It was easy enough to install, port forward to in the router, etc.  No problems there.  

I then tried to install the Jellyfin app on my Samsung tv.  after hours of following tutorials, I've managed to get the app installed on my tv, but it doesn't work.  When I open the app it says:
"Unable to load page  file: ///index.html  blah blah

no where in the installation process did I tell the samsung app the ip of the jellyfin server.  How can I add it after the fact?  During this whole installation process I used my desktop computer (tizen install, git install, node install, ), not the HTPC.

the Jellyfin app is on the samsung tv, but it can't find the jellyfin server on my htpc.  I don't get the screen that asks to add a server.

please help and keep it simple.  I just learned what a powershell is!
EDIT: I am trying to reinstall and I've gotten to the point where i type this into the powershell

Code:

npm ci --no-audit

and at the end it has 1 error, maybe this is the culprit

Hi, I updated my Samsung TV, and Jellyfin no longer appears, and it won't let me reinstall it. Any solution?"

[Georgi Todorov]

Guys, any idea why we can't publish the app to the Tizen App Store?
