FAQ for SS IPTV Installation
If I install SS IPTV using a USB on my Samsung TV, can I remove the USB later?
No, you can’t. For D, E, F, H, and J series Samsung TVs, SS IPTV runs directly from the USB. If you remove the USB, the app will disappear. You can still use the USB for storing photos and videos while SS IPTV is installed, but to keep access, the USB needs to stay plugged in.
My Samsung TV isn’t showing up in Tizen Studio’s Remote Device Manager. What should I do?
This usually happens when Instant On is enabled on your Samsung TV. Go to Settings > System > General and turn off Instant On. Then, check in My Apps to ensure your PC’s IP is set.
Can I re-enable Instant On after installing SS IPTV on my Samsung TV?
Yes, you can. However, on some J and K series models, every time you turn off the TV, SS IPTV may disappear, requiring a fresh installation. This doesn’t always happen, but it’s something to watch for on these specific series.
I’m seeing an error saying, “Installing the package… > Fail.” How can I fix this?
This error often means your TV hasn’t accepted your developer certificate. To fix it, right-click on your connected TV in Tizen Studio and select Permit to Install Applications.
Is SS IPTV safe and legal?
Yes, SS IPTV is simply a player and doesn’t contain content itself. The legality of what you stream depends on your IPTV provider.
