Cant play videos on Samsung TV web browser

#1 Posted by mrfluke (6068 posts) - 1 month, 3 days ago

I completely understand im probably one of the few that uses this to watch GB, but on my samsung tv's web browser, even after the redesign i used to be able to play videos on the new site, but now i'm completely unable to.

Overall navigation got a bit scrambled with the redesign as well, but i was alright with it, as i honestly know I'm probably one of the few that uses a TV's web browser to watch videos, but now nothing works.

I guess i should say, if this problem is a bit unfixable, or low priority, i completely understand 1,000,000%,

I have the same issue now with the new site redesign. Going to /chat now just shows 'video loading' over and over and nothing happens and there is no chat. I have a Samsung un55ku6270 4k smart tv with latest firmware update.

@deviationer: @mrfluke: Hey, sorry for the trouble here. Do you happen to know what type of browser the Samsung uses?

@rorie:

The about section of the browser states it's TizenBrowser 1.1.2.0711122

From whatismybrowser.com i get this as the user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (smart-tv;linux;tizen 2.4.0) applewebkit/538.1(khtml,like gecko) Samsung browser/1.1 TV safari/538.1

this is true for me as well unfortunately. oddly videos seem to work alright in windowed mode, just not in fullscreen mode.

Same issue for me. Haven't been able to keep up with the premium content because it was basically the only place I watched them, now I'm watching only on youtube =/

I will put this into a bug ticket to see if we can restore this functionality! I'm not sure if we have a Samsung TV around to check this with, though.

We bought a TV to display our company dashboard in the office. The browser does not display the website properly. How can I debug the page? Or is there an emulator for the browser? I'm really stuck here. Solved! Go to Solution.
