Questions about Samsung TV
Hot Player or IBO Player Pro is not in my Samsung Apps. What can I do?
Apps differ by country and TV model. Update your TV (Settings > Support > Software Update) and search again, or try the other app.
Can I install APK files on a Samsung TV?
No. Samsung TVs run Tizen, not Android, so only apps from Samsung Apps can be installed.
The app says my playlist is empty or will not load. What should I check?
Check that you pasted the whole M3U URL, with nothing cut off at either end, and that you used the MAC address (and for IBO Player Pro, the device key) your screen shows. Then restart the app. If it still will not load, contact support.
