Smart TV apps
Viewers find your channel in their TV's app store, open it with the remote and watch you live or pick something from your video library. The app is included with every paid video plan: live streaming, CDN and VOD.
You publish it under your own name, from your own Samsung and LG seller accounts.
A TV app lives or dies by the remote. Everything here is made to work from the sofa, with the arrow keys and the Back button.
New videos, a new logo or a changed link reach your viewers by themselves. You only publish again when there's a new version of the app.
Samsung and LG both check every app before it goes live, and they don't hurry. Here is what to expect from each before you start.
Every paid video plan: live streaming, CDN and VOD. The free plans don't include the TV app.
Your TV app is waiting in the control panel, under Apps, with a preview, the build buttons and the publishing guides.
Need an IPTV app instead? We build custom Stalker IPTV apps, quoted for each project.
Samsung and LG smart TVs made in 2018 or later. Viewers install it from the app store built into their TV, like any other TV app.
Not straight away. Samsung lets new sellers publish in the United States only. For other countries you need partner status, which you ask Samsung for once your seller account is open. LG has no such step.
Samsung only accepts an app, and every later update to it, when it carries the signature of the same author. You create the certificates with your own Samsung account in Tizen Studio, add them in your control panel, and keep a safe copy: without the original author certificate, Samsung won't take updates.
Samsung's certification usually takes a few weeks, and LG's quality check several weeks. Both look at every update again, so leave time for that when you plan a new version.
No. There's no paywall, no account to create and no advertising. Viewers open the app and watch.
A screen saying you'll be back soon, and the app checks again by itself every thirty seconds. Any videos in your library stay ready to watch in the meantime.
The app is made for Samsung and LG smart TVs only. Those two have their own app stores, which is where your viewers will find you.
Put your channel on the biggest screen in the house.
