How to install ForkPlayer on Samsung Smart TV: current methods for 2021

Forkplayer is an application for Smart TV that greatly facilitates access and interaction with online services. It is especially convenient to use Fork Player on a TV if you need to watch movies from online sites. In this case, you no longer need to spend a long time entering the names of films and TV series into the search bar and dealing with an inconvenient cursor on the device screen.

Thanks to ForkPlayer working through the site's FXML format, everything looks like a phone menu. It's like you're just navigating through folders and selecting the videos you want. This is a multimedia browser, completely free. Not available in the built-in application store on Smart TV TV. Therefore, you need to use one of the suggested methods to install ForkPlayer for Samsung Smart TV.

What is a DNS server?

DNS servers are a system necessary for the website to function correctly. It associates its domain (name/title) with an IP address.

Each site is associated with an IP address. For example, for google.com it is 8.8.8.8

Imagine the situation: you wrote a letter to Maxim Petrovich from Minsk and sent it by regular mail. How will she deliver the letter? — At the address indicated on the envelope: country, city, street, apartment and zip code.

It’s the same with websites: we go to google.com, but its “real” address is just a bunch of numbers.

This is exactly why you need to change the DNS server to install ForkPlayer: so that the ForkPlayer website opens instead of IVI/Megogo.

Fresh DNS for Forkplayer

DNS for Forkplayer depends on the selected TV model.

So, for LG Smart TV you should enter 85.17.30.89 or 46.36.222.114. When working with Samsung TVs, you should enter the following DNS address: 46.36.222.114. You can also use the following parameters to configure: 85.17.30.89.

Important! Some DNS do not install Forkplayer, but only redirect the user to a store where the widget can be downloaded.

If the application is already installed, there is no need to constantly update the DNS, since the address remains current. If problems occur, reconnecting to the same address will help correct the error.

How to configure DNS in ForkPlayer?

We know what DNS is. Now you need to learn how to change it and configure it for ForkPlayer to work. What should be done?

1. Download the application that you will replace (usually IVI or Megogo).
2. Go to network settings.
3. Change the DNS server address from standard to new.
4. When you click on the program (Evie/Megogo), a Fork will open.

There is no point in describing in more detail, since the installation process is different in each model.

Instructions for installing Fork Player on: Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Hisense.

Registration on the official website

Forkplayer is a useful program for Smart TV.

2. In the e-mail column, indicate a valid mail address.
3. Write out the address from the Fork player Mac settings and enter it in the empty line.

Regardless of the TV model and widget installation type, the shortcut will not appear in the menu if an outdated software version is used. Therefore, be sure to first update the firmware, and only then proceed to install the widget.

ForkPlayer is primarily installed by changing DNS. There are several available addresses for TVs of each series, so try each of them if you are unable to launch the program the first time.

Forkplayer installation methods

To configure the player, they use similar methods as for Smart TV from other manufacturers: by changing the DNS address, through the donor application, and through installation from a flash drive.

However, the first option is more reliable, since restrictions may apply when running the program from removable media.

By changing DNS addresses

1. Go to Samsung Apps from the main page.

2. Find and install the IVI application.

3. Go to Settings - Network Status.

4. Open the IP Settings section.

5. Switch DNS Settings from Retrieve Automatically to Enter Manually.

6. Change the DNS server to 195.88.208.101.

7. Return to the main menu, open IVI and enjoy ForkPlayer!

If it doesn’t work and you didn’t make a mistake, then the DNS address has failed.

Go down to the table with all available DNS. Download another app and use a new address.

Through settings

When purchasing a TV, the default movie viewing programs, such as IVI, should be configured. The ability to launch the Forkplayer application for Samsung Smart TV through the settings is also available. To install Fork Player on Samsung Smart TV, you need to go to the network settings of the TV and click the “Network Status” button. We are shown an excellent internet connection.

Go to the “IP Settings” item. Press the “Settings” button. DNS" and change the automatic connection option to manual configuration.

Go to “DNS Server”. Enter the values ​​using the remote control and the on-screen line with the symbols: 195.88.208.101. Click “Finish”, “Ok” and wait for confirmation of receiving a connection to the server.

If after this chain of operations the video does not work, then the router is configured for the provider. And this means that spoofing the DNS address is not enough and you won’t be able to watch movies through ForkPlayer.

In this case, reinstalling the router or program as a separate application will help. This can be done by transferring it from flash memory.

If the operation is completed successfully, open the IVI application. If the setup is successful, the ForkPlayer application will launch with a large letter “F” on a blue screen. By default, there will be few links in the program window.

You can configure all links this way:

• press the “A” key on the remote control;

• go to “Settings”, then to “Application Settings”;

• enable the “Third Party Content” parameter by moving the adjustment to “On”;
• Click “Ok” and “Continue”.

The default video quality is 720. You can change it to 1080. We return to the start menu - nothing seems to have changed. Press the letter “A” again on the remote control, go to “Settings”, “Start menu settings”. Click “Add all links”.

Returning back, we see an increased number of links to sites. Having fallen into one of them, we find ourselves in a catalog with films, cartoons and other content.

From a flash drive

There is a way to install the program as a separate application. If the TV version has the letter J, then this method is for you:

• format a fresh flash drive on your computer and give it the name userwidget;
• create a folder with the same name;
• transfer the downloaded file to the folder;
• connect the flash card to the TV and launch the application using the remote control.

After some time, the application will be installed on your TV.

Setting up Ace Stream for ForkPlayer

Acestream uses magnet links through content identifiers. These content IDs are unique and assigned to streaming channels and once you get these content IDs, you can stream your desired content instantly.

In general, Acestream runs on BitTorrent technology. Torrent laws differ from country to country. However, many people are unaware that streaming copyrighted content is illegal, regardless of whether you do it through Kodi, extratorrents, or Acestream. Therefore, it is imperative that you use some kind of protection to avoid getting into trouble with the law.

To avoid legal problems when streaming on Acestream channels, you should use a VPN. Most ISPs monitor torrent activity, and if you don't use a VPN service, you risk being exposed to streaming copyrighted content and your ISP may throttle your connections, meaning you can no longer access service. Hence, a VPN is essential for your online security as well as to access geo-restricted content. We recommend FastestVPN, which have high-speed servers optimized for streaming.

The Acestream platform uses the BitTorrent client, so you need to have a fast internet connection to get the best streaming experience with it. Need to check your Internet speed? Then click on the link. You don't need a subscription or pay for anything to stream using Acestream links, it's completely free.

To stream via Acestream channels, you must first install the application from the website (https://ace-stream.ru.uptodown.com/windows). If you have an app on your device, you need a content ID, which is basically a magnet link that will bring you media content from different sources. Since Acestream allows you to stream channels, each channel is assigned a unique Content ID and you will need that ID to watch that particular channel. Presumably, if you want to watch BBC, you need a BBC Content ID, which needs to be added to the Acestream client.

How to download Acestream on different devices?

Fresh working DNS addresses for ForkPlayer that are suitable for Samsung TVs:

Errors when connecting ForkPlayer

Often, why all the errors occur when launching the ForkPlayer widget can be divided into two types:

1. ForkPlayer does not start despite changing the DNS;
2. The Internet disappears when connected or there is no access to the playlist.

Depending on what kind of error you encountered, the way to solve it depends.

For example, if you have problems connecting to the Internet, which comes via Wi-Fi from a router received as a promotion from your provider, then you need to solve the problem with the router. Typically, such devices are not distinguished by their special quality and firmware, but this can happen with a regular router, not a promotional one. To fix router related issues, you can try the following:

1. First, you should find out if the problem is that your provider or router is blocking your request when entering DNS. To do this, you will need to go to the Internet from your computer and enter nslookup dnsonlin.obovse.ru in the command line (cmd). 46.36.218.194. If you get Lb in response: dnsonlin.obovse.ru Address: 46.36.218.194, then this is not the problem. If in response you receive Lb: dnsonlin.obovse.ru Address: 193.109.246.8, or DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds TxЁmxЁ: UnKnown, then you need to try the options below.

2. Disable the Yandex.DNS program;
3. If you are the owner of a promotional router, then you will have to change the firmware on it. If you have a regular router, then the firmware will simply need to be updated;
4. Go to the router settings by entering its number in the address bar of the browser (this number is usually indicated at the bottom of the router and looks like ***.***.*.*). After that, go to the DHCP settings and enter the DNS address for ForkPlayer in the “Primary DNS” column. If this doesn't work, check with your ISP to see if they allow you to use their own DNS to connect to the server.

If your Smart TV is connected to the Internet directly, then if there is no connection and an error appears, you should try the following:

1. Check that the DNS address entered is correct;
2. Wait a few minutes and try to renew the connection to the DNS server;
3. Restart your TV and reconnect to the server.

These are the main problems. Most often, by following these steps, you will be able to configure the program and gain access to playlists that store a large amount of free video and audio content. In addition, having configured everything correctly, you can create and view playlists yourself by installing Remote ForkPlayer.
