If youre looking for other ways to install and run Jellyfin on your Samsung TV (Tizen OS), here are two solid community-supported alternatives.


1. Tizenbrew + Jellyfin-Tizen

You can use Tizenbrew to enable homebrew-style package installation on your Tizen TV and then install Jellyfin-Tizen from there.

📺 How to Install via Tizenbrew

  1. Open the web browser on your Tizen TV.
  2. Visit the Tizenbrew installer URL:
    https://tizenbrew.6513006.xyz/installer
    
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Tizenbrew.
  4. Once Tizenbrew is installed Launch TizenBrew on your TV.
  5. Press GREEN button on your remote to add a module.
  6. Type in @glenlowland/jellyfin-tizen. - https://github.com/GlenLowland/jellyfin-tizen-npm-publish?tab=readme-ov-file
  7. Press GREEN button again to go to TizenBrew modules list.
  8. Launch Jellyfin Tizen from there.

This method does not require a PC or developer mode. It's easy to set up directly on your TV.


2. Docker-Based Installer

Another approach is using a Docker-based installer that simplifies sideloading Jellyfin-Tizen onto your TV using a PC.

🧰 Requirements

  • Docker installed on your PC
  • Tizen TV in Developer Mode
  • TV's IP address available
  • Samsung Tizen SDK tools (CLI or Device Manager)

⚙️ Installation Steps

  1. Start the Docker-based installer:
    docker run --rm ghcr.io/georift/install-jellyfin-tizen <samsung tv ip> [build option] [tag url] [certificate password]
    

⚠️ This method is intended for users who are comfortable using Docker.


Summary
