Cool! Any plans to make an offical app for Samsung TVs? I know it might be a Samsung limitation

Jellyfin has an official Samsung TV app! It's not available on the Samsung app gallery yet but there are developer instructions on their github
Maybe they are better off not going official in this one, I worked for a streaming company that had official apps on every major system, and the Samsung team is a pain in the ass
I should have seen this before I bought my Samsung TV.
Man, sometimes samsung gets up to 2 months behind LG in updates. Then we update a whole lot of shit and it turns into hell to debug because so much changed at once.
I would love to see this too, it would really help Jellyfin take hold in my house.
It would be great. I just bought Rokus rather than deal with getting the Samsung apps loaded.
Wow the spam was off the charts. Sucks to not have a "mass delete" function.
Yeah this user spammed another topic in the linux community, I was surprised to see a jellyfin topic being spammed too.. That's the price of being a popular software I guess!
Guess i'm going to give jellyfin a try now.
I've been using the LG Jellyfin app for a few months now and it's been great. I've got an LG CX from 2020 and didn't need to use developer mode, but I guess others weren't so fortunate. I'm not sure which TVs were missing support before but great to see that it's now supported on all versions of WebOS.

This is so awesome!
I was actually thinking about buying a new TV just so I could have the Jellyfin all through webOS. 😅
Amazing! Thanks for all your hardware Anthony!
This is amazing! I can't even remember how long I've been waiting for this.
Woooohooo
How does this compare to the AndroidTV client? Are they pretty much the same feature wise?
Congratulations! This is great!
Slightly off topic but how is the Samsung Tizan app submission coming along?
Here's the issue tracking that submission, you can follow it through GitHub to receive emails on any updates.
I don't get it. I've been using Jellyfin from the LG app store on my TV since late 2022.
It was previously only available to webOS 6 (2022 models) or newer, then we expanded it to webOS 5/5.5 (2020 or newer), and now it's all models.
Ah, very nice!
Good job, thanks for your efforts
This is GREAT NEWS! -- I think we've got many thousands who are running the LG WebOS and that was a big hurdle for them adopting Jellyfin in the first place!
Nice. I miss my palm pre:(
Great. It's going to be so nice to not have to remember to renew developer mode.
Well done and thank you to everyone involved!!
