secondary	Built with the latest stable release of jellyfin-web and a different app ID to allow having a second account signed in

Disclaimer: I don't have many success stories with TVs older than 2018, but a few people in my Discord server have reported it working for their 2015 and 2016 TVs with the 10.8.z version

Installation

For a one step install process using Docker, check out this guide made by Georift Georift/install-jellyfin-tizen.
I have no affiliation with Georift and I can't provide support related to that project since I have not personally used it or helped in its creation.

Prerequisites

• Tizen Studio with CLI (https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/download)
• Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for VS 2013 x86 and amd64 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
• One of the .wgt files from a release (https://github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds/releases)

Getting Started

1. Install prerequisites. Yup nothing else needed.

Deploy to TV

1. Activate Developer Mode on TV (https://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/getting-started/using-sdk/tv-device).
2. Connect to TV with Device Manager from Tizen Studio. Typically located in C:\tizen-studio\tools\device-manager\bin
3. Install the package.
   This command assumes the file you are installing is called Jellyfin.wgt. Simply change it to Jellyfin-prerelease.wgt if you are installing the prerelease version. Otherwise you can also just rename the file.

c:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin\tizen.bat install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <the name of your tv>

On Mac the command is instead

$HOME/tizen-studio/tools/ide/bin/tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t <the name of your tv>

typically located in (C:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin)

You can find your tv name in Device Manager from Tizen Studio or using sdb devices.

Common issues

Install failing due to wrong certificate?

This should only happen if you already have a version installed using a different build certificate.
This can be solved by uninstalling the app prior to attempting to install this version.

Removing it from the app bar is not the same as removing it from the device, you need to actually go into the applications menu and remove it from there.
