Create Samsung Smart TV App please.

[Intrud3r]

Dear Subsonic peeps,

One feature that would be lovely to have is an app which can be installed on Samsung Smart TV's like the D6530 for example.

If anybody else wants to have such an app available, please sign this thread.

Thanks in advance,

I would love if there was a subsonic app for Samsung TV's

Yes!
It is so painful having a perfect Subsonic server which your otherwise "smart tv" cannot use

Can't you just use the Smart TV's browser in the meantime?

[wendigo]

diffy: My TV has no browser. Also, the tv browsers I saw so far were usable only in emergency.

Yes, please work with the developers for Samsung Smart TV apps! Plex is great for video, but Subsonic beats it for music hands down. Too bad I can't use either of my Smart TVs.

I've considered releasing SubFire onto the Samsung TV store, but I'll need to work on the UI's aesthetics a bit more to make it look a little less jquerymobile (but this is something I want to do anyways, after I make it a little more feature-complete).

My main issue right now is that, well, I don't actually HAVE a Samsung smart TV. The 32" I just picked up isn't a smart one, because I already have Chromecast, FireStick and older WDTV boxes for it.

While I know the UI should render and work, as it works perfectly fine on FireTV/Stick, I can not test it against Samsung's remote control, which is likely different from Amazon's as far as keyCodes and the like. But the app does package perfectly fine in PhoneGap. If I can find a friend who has one and can let me test on it, I'll see what I can do. I'll also see what emulators are out there.

SubFire however, only supports music. I have little interest in building out video capabilities, as my personal primary video-playing service is Plex. I feel Plex is better for video but Subsonic far better for music.
