🚀 How It Works
⚠️ Before Running on Unix-Based Systems
Make sure the script is executable.
chmod +x Jellyfin2Samsung
./Jellyfin2Samsung
1. Launch the Tool
The tool automatically scans your local network for compatible Samsung Smart TVs.
2. Select a Release
Choose the desired Jellyfin release.
3. Pick a Version
Select the specific Jellyfin version you’d like to install.
4. Select Your TV
The tool lists all detected Samsung TVs. You can also manually enter an IP if your TV isn’t found.
5. Sit Back and Watch the Magic ✨
Once started, the installer takes care of everything else automatically.
⚠️ Special Notes for Tizen 7+
Tizen 7+ requires a Samsung account login during the install. This step is necessary for generating and exchanging the security certificates used for app installation.
⚙️ Settings
Language
Select your preferred language.
Certificate
Choose an existing certificate or let the tool generate a new one automatically.
Advanced Options
- Custom WGT: Upload your own
.wgtfile(s) (randomizes the package name to allow side-by-side installs). - Remember IPs: Save a manually entered IP when your device isn’t found via scan (one IP at a time).
- Remove Old Jellyfin: Attempts to uninstall previous versions before installation (not supported on all TVs).
- Force Samsung Login: Force the tool to login in order to forcefully create a new certificate.
- Right-to-left Reading: Languages that are right-to-left need to have the IP inverted in order for Tizen Studio to work (192.168.1.2 -> 2.1.168.192).
- Jellyfin Config: Lets you set your Jellyfin App configuration in advance, so once the app is installed, you won’t need to configure it on the TV.
📝 Jellyfin Config
Update Mode consists of:
| Type | Requirements |
|---|---|
| None | - |
| Server Settings | Server IP and port |
| Browser Settings | Server IP and port, API Key and Jellyfin user selection |
| User Settings | Server IP and port, API Key and Jellyfin user selection |

| All Settings | Server IP and port, API Key and Jellyfin user selection |
Server Settings
This lets you set the Jellyfin server IP address in the config file, so the app doesn't have to search for the server.
- Fill in the Address information; Server IP and Port.
Browser Settings
Requirements: API Key and Jellyfin User selection
This lets you set the browser-specific information for the chosen user(s) like Theme selection, Skip Intro etc. Jellyfin saves this information in your browser.
User Settings
Requirements: API Key and Jellyfin User selection
This lets you set all the Jellyfin user specifics for the chosen user(s) like Auto Login, Subtitle Mode etc. Jellyfin saves this on its server.
✅ Requirements
