Tizen Player

From MSX - Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Tizen player is the default player for Samsung TVs (2016+ models) that uses the Media Station X version 0.1.128 or higher. It works like a plugin and can be configured via the extended properties of a content item. Please see Extended Properties for more information. Additionally, you can interact with it using the player:commit actions. Please see Internal Actions for more information. Some extended properties are dynamic and can be changed via an action at runtime.

Some extended properties are mapped to a corresponding Tizen (i.e. AVPlay) function. For more information, please visit: https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/api-references/samsung-product-api-references/avplay-api.html

Note: All properties are reset if a new video/audio is played.
