Tizen support

The tizen plugin adds platform-specific behavior and functionality for Tizen. Tizen powers the Smart TVs from Samsung.

Installation

Include the tizen plugin next to the core player:

<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/flowplayer.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/plugins/tizen.min.js"></script>

Configuration

There is no extra configuration required for the plugin.

App development

If you are creating an application for Tizen there are some gotchas.

Configure your app with necessary privileges

In your config.xml you can grant your app privileges.

Enable network access to be able to fetch videos:

<access origin="*" subdomains="true"></access>
<tizen:allow-navigation>*</tizen:allow-navigation>
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/internet" />

Allow remote control access:

<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/tv.inputdevice" />

Register keys

In order to make the OS emit the keypress events you need to register keys:

tizen.tvinputdevice.registerKey('MediaPlayPause');

Handle player exit

When the player is active it will swallow the back-button presses. In order to handle it in your application you can use the flowplayer.tizen.events.EXIT_FULLSCREEN event triggered by the player when back button is pressed to get out of player:

player.on(flowplayer.tizen.events.EXIT_FULLSCREEN, () => {
  // Handle your app state
})
