Supported features

Most player features available for the web are generally available with Radiant Media Player for smart TV web-based applications. Below is a non-exhaustive list of features you can expect to be available:

• (1) See the video ads support in Samsung TV apps section
• (2) See the Widevine DRM support in Samsung TV apps section

TV app player skin

We provide an out-of-box tv-optimized player skin to help you get started with your TV app. This skin defaults to a full window mode ideal for a fullscreen experience on larger displays. Other player skins can also be used in a context of a smart TV app. The tv-optimized player skin can be enabled through the skin setting set to 'tv'. See our player skins documentation for more information.

Video ads support in smart TV apps

We do support using video ads in a Tizen TV app. While it is technically possible to use Google IMA, our VAST parser rmp-vast is the preferred solution as Google does not officially support Tizen TV platform while still advertising that Google IMA may be compatible. The VAST parser can be selected with player setting adParser set to 'rmp-vast'.

Widevine DRM support in smart TV apps

We support Widevine DRM on Tizen 4+ devices. Just pass DRM information to the TV player as you would normally do with our web player. See our DRM documentation for more information.

Samsung Tizen TV Demo App

We have released a demo app for using Radiant Media Player in a web app for Tizen TV. This demo app is available on GitHub.
