Install Telvaz on a Samsung TV

Use Apps2Samsung, a free app for your computer or Android phone, to put the Telvaz file on your TV.

Steps

  1. Connect the TV and your computer or phone to the same router.
  2. On the TV, open Apps and press 1 2 3 4 5 on the remote. Switch Developer Mode on, enter your computer's or phone's IP address, then restart the TV.
  3. Install Apps2Samsung on your computer (Windows, macOS or Linux) or Android phone.
  4. Open Apps2Samsung, pick your TV, choose Custom WGT and select the Telvaz file.
  5. When asked, sign in to your Samsung account once. Apps2Samsung creates the certificate for your TV.
  6. Open Telvaz from the TV's apps. Use the same Apps2Samsung for updates.

Before you start

Works on Samsung TVs from 2020 or newer (Tizen 5.5 and up). Older Samsung TVs are not supported.

  • A Samsung TV and a computer (Windows, macOS or Linux) or an Android phone, on the same router.
  • A Samsung account. You sign in once, the first time.
  • Apps2Samsung: free and open source (MIT), made by its community, not by Samsung or Telvaz. It finds TVs on your network and makes one certificate for each TV.

An iPhone alone is not enough. Use a computer or an Android phone.

Updating Telvaz

An update must use the same certificate as the first install, so install the new file with the same Apps2Samsung. Moving to another computer or phone? Use Apps2Samsung's backup and restore to take the certificate with you.

Troubleshooting

Author certificate not match

The Telvaz on your TV was installed with a different certificate. Delete Telvaz from the TV, then install it again.

The TV is not found

  • Check that the TV and your computer or phone are on the same network.
  • Turn off any VPN.
  • Restart the TV. If that does not help, unplug it for 15 seconds.
  • Some TVs need the IP address typed in reverse order in Developer Mode: 192.168.1.2 as 2.1.168.192.

Removing Telvaz

Delete Telvaz from the TV's apps.

Advanced: install from the command line

Tizen Studio can do the same. Make a Samsung certificate that lists your TV's DUID in its Certificate Manager, sign the file with that certificate profile, then install it. The TV's Developer Mode must have your computer's IP address.

sdb connect <tv-ip>:26101
tizen package -t wgt -s <profile> -- Telvaz-1.0.0.wgt
tizen install -n Telvaz-1.0.0.wgt -s <tv-ip>:26101
