Installing Jellyfin on a Samsung TV

Enabling Developer Mode On New Samsung TVs

As per this thread

I have a 2024 frame tv. None of the other solutions like using the phone app or a bluetooth keyboard worked.

Here’s what worked for me. In the app section, scroll all the way down to the app settings. Enter the app settings. Here, press the 123 button on your remote and type in the 12345 passcode again. This brought up the developer mode options for me. Hope this helps.

Signing Certificate

  • Install Tizen SDK CLI Installer
  • Open the Package Manager ~/tizen-studio/package-manager/package-manager.bin
    • Install Tizen SDK Tools > Baseline SDK > Certificate Manager
    • Install Extension SDK > Samsung Certificate Extension
  • Run certificate manager and create samsung certificate linked to your account

Installing the App

  • Run the docker install process:
    • This will use a docker image to automatically pull the latest build of the jellyfin
docker run \
  -v /home/<username>/SamsungCertificate/<profilename>:/certificates \
  --rm ghcr.io/georift/install-jellyfin-tizen \
  <YOUR_TV_IP_ADDRESS> \
