The approach for Wowza Flowplayer to run on web-based Smart TV environments (like Tizen or webOS) is similar across all platforms.
For Samsung TVs (or other Tizen-based devices), Wowza has an example application developed that will help you get started on Flowplayer development on Tizen-based systems.
The source code can be found on Github:
You'll also want to add the Wowza Flowplayer Tizen plugin for remote control functionality and other functions. You can review the Tizen-plugin documentation before you get started.
For LG TVs (or other webOS-based devices), Wowza has an example application developed that will help you get started on Flowplayer development on webOS-based systems.
The source code can be found on Github:
You'll also want to add the Wowza Flowplayer webOS plugin for remote control functionality and other functions. You can review the webOS-plugin documentation before you get started.
##Exceptions
The webplayer works the same as it works on a normal web browser with the following exceptions (see below).
To make the player usable with remote control, include the relevant Wowza Flowplayer Smart TV plugin.
We offer plugins for:
Most web-based Smart TV platforms run a Chromium-based browser as the view layer.
The application is served from the filesystem directly with file:/// protocol. This means that you can't use protocol-relative media urls like //cdn.example.com/myfile.mp4. You have to include the full absolute media URL with protocol instead.
https://cdn.example.com/myfile.mp4.
The Chromium-based browser, most likely, only supports .mp4 files out of the box. To run HLS or MPEG-DASH content, include the relevant playback plugin for Wowza Flowplayer when you initialize the player.
