The fastest way to install samsung smart tv widgets from a flash drive

Modern TVs with the Smart TV function have almost the same capabilities as a full-fledged computer. You can expand the scope of the device with the help of special additional programs (widgets). In this case, updating and installing Samsung Smart TV widgets can be carried out using a connection to a wireless Internet network or using an external storage device (flash card).

It happens that while using a mobile device, some widgets become irrelevant and you no longer use them. So it's time to remove such widgets from your screen to free up space on your desktop. To delete, simply long-tap on the widget and drag it to the trash can, which will appear at the top or bottom of the screen, depending on the model of your device.

Standard widget installation

Samsung has developed a lot of such programs for TV. The reason for this is the open platform. However, the company imposes some restrictions on the download of individual widgets, since it is confident that it has provided its devices with sufficient quantities of them.

However, craftsmen have long found ways to download and install programs from third-party sites.

Since the TV connects to the Internet, you need to go to the Smart TV menu by selecting the “Smart Hub” key on the remote control. In the search window, enter the name of the program, activate the search, and then just follow the prompts.

When the installation is complete, exit the store and find the widget in your bookmarks.

This is the fastest installation method. If it doesn't work for you, try doing the same thing, but only from a flash drive.

Cloud storage

Google Drive is one of the services that is usually installed by default on Android TV. To set it up, you just need to access your account credentials from Google, and this shared space can be very helpful when installing APKs. All you have to do is upload the APK files you want to install to your personal cloud, and then access that cloud via Google Drive on your Android TV to download the files and start installing them. The same applies to other similar services such as Dropbox. And as always, make sure they have the appropriate permissions.

What is SS IPTV?

SS IPTV is a modern application created for TVs with Smart TV technology, which allows you to watch video broadcast over the Internet.

SS IPTV is one of the most popular Smart TV applications in the CIS countries and Europe. This is the first application that provided the ability to watch IPTV. In 2013, at a competition for application developers for smart TVs, the SS IPTV program received the highest marks.

The application itself does not provide the user with TB services. SS IPTV only gives access to content supplied by the provider. Essentially, SS IPTV is an IPTV player, and if a user pays a provider for providing the service of watching IP television, then all monetary transactions occur only between the user and the provider (SS IPTV has nothing to do with this).

If the provider offers the display of unencrypted interactive TV, then you can independently upload the playlist made by him into the application. Usually the list (playlist) is posted on the official website of such a provider. If you can’t find it, write to your provider’s technical support.

If your Internet provider does not provide the ability to watch IPTV, you can resort to the services of absolutely any third-party OTT operator you like, whose video streams are compatible with your Smart TV, or you can download your own playlist with channels.

SS IPTV at the moment is a very actively moving forward platform, a real center of interactive entertainment right inside your TV. Playlists from several hundred IPTV operators, broadcast channels, video content from online services, social networks and video hosting sites - all this is available to people who have just one application - SS IPTV.

Watch a video review of the application below:

Uploading and editing a playlist

The application supports two ways to download playlists. Addition:

• via the link (such playlists are called external, you can add as many of them as you like);
• through a code that is valid once, and can be downloaded from the website (such a playlist is called internal, and there can only be one).

To download your own playlist, follow the link:

1. Go to SS IPTV and on the screen that appears, click on the gear in the upper right corner.

2. Go to “Content” by selecting this line in the drop-down menu. At the top of the line, go to “External playlists” and click “Add”. Enter any desired playlist name and link to it into the appropriate field, and then click “Save” in the upper right corner.

An icon for the external playlist you downloaded will appear in the main application window. The playlist will be loaded every time you click this icon.

To download an external playlist, sometimes a framework is used on TB - that is, you can only use links available from the Internet, the system will not allow others.

To upload your own playlist using the code:

1. Go to the application. Click on the gear in the upper right corner.
2. Go to “General” by selecting this line in the drop-down menu and click “Get code”. This code will be valid for 24 hours (or until the next one is created).

5. Select the playlist on your PC by clicking “Open” and then finish downloading by clicking “Save”. After successful loading of a custom playlist, a “My Playlist” icon will be added to the application screen.

The platform doesn’t just show the playlists loaded into it, but also tries to identify the channels in them and correlate them with those that are already included in the database.

Those channels of the selected playlist that the system has recognized can be seen on the corresponding panel along with their logos.

When loading a new playlist, the previous playlist is overwritten. If you need to re-download the same playlist or any other through the site, there is no need to receive another code unless you have cleared your browser cookies first.

Only those playlists that comply with the established m3u format standard can be used as internal playlists. To load correctly, the playlist must be in UTF 8-bit encoding. External playlists can be of any other format (i.e. not only m3u, but also, for example, xspf, asx and pls).

More information about creating your own playlist and uploading it to SS IPTV is described in the video below:

How to install a widget on Android.

If you are not satisfied with the standard set of applications installed by developers on your tablet (smartphone) by default, then you can easily install new ones on it. A wide variety of widgets can be found in the Google Play app. Just choose the one you like, download and click the “Install” button.

After it is installed on your tablet/smartphone, you should place it on the desktop of your device. Depending on the Android OS version, the installation process differs slightly. Let's consider installing a widget on the desktop in Android 4.x.

Go to the “Menu” and go to the tab of the same name and select the desired widget to install.

Let's say we want to add a “Clean Master” memory indicator to the desktop area. Hold down on it and drag it with your finger to a free area of ​​the desktop. Move your finger away from the touchpad and the widget will be placed in the specified location.

If you need to change its location, it is very easy to do. Make a long touch on the widget and, without releasing your finger, drag it to a new location.

Now let's look at how to install the widget on a device with an earlier version of Android. To place this information block on the desktop in Android 2.x, you need to click on the touchpad at its location. After this, the “Select Widget” window will open, where you need to select the block of interest.

The image above shows an example of a step-by-step installation of the Everydayword widget on a smartphone. In some cases, such blocks may have different sizes, but in this case you will be offered one of the available ones.

Playback problems and solutions

When watching channels on Samsung Smart TV using the SS IPTV application, the following problems may occur:

• Display error. If the playlist is loaded, but the channels are not shown, and instead there is only a black screen and an error message, you need to make sure that the downloaded playlist is working. This can be done through the computer program IPTV Player or VLC.
• Through IPTV Player and VLC everything works fine, but in SS IPTV there is still an error. If the playlist contains links to multicast streams (usually with a playlist from your ISP), the TB needs to be connected to the network via a wire for normal playback. Many TBs do not support multicast. Transmission of streams of this type is only possible if a UDP proxy is configured on the router.
• There are channels that are in a foreign language. To make an audio track in Russian, use the audio-track attribute (language code: rus). For example: #EXTINF:0 tvg-name=”THT” audio-track=”rus” tvg-shift=4, THT International.
• The playlist is loaded, but the logos and EPGs are not visible. SS IPTV has a modern recognition system that works in almost 99% of cases. Most often the problem is due to naming errors. To make sure your channels are recognizable, check that their names are appropriate. Keep in mind that names should not contain extra characters (indices, category names, etc.).
• Error with video playlist. Downloaded videos work fine, but the rewind and pause buttons are missing. To correct the situation and display the icons normally, the playlist must be loaded through the “Videos” section, which can be found in the program settings.

Using a Samsung TV with Smart TV technology, the user can watch IPTV channels for free. Carefully follow our instructions presented in the article, install the SS IPTV application and enjoy watching movies and other video content in excellent quality.

Google Play

If none of the above options work, Google Play is also available on almost any Android TV (and installation permissions are enabled by default). Take advantage of this to download and install any application required in the previous methods, or ultimately download the APK directly from there, although the offer is not that large.

Regardless of the method used, the last step is to run this APK file. The way to do this varies depending on the APK download method you choose. In this case, we used a USB drive, so the next step is to connect it to your Android TV and access the file manager.

Access to the Android TV file manager

Enter the USB drive using the menu on the left to see its contents and click on the APK you want to install.

Access your USB drive and click on the APK you want to install

After the installation starts, click the Install

in the lower right corner and wait for the process to complete.

Confirm installation of the application on your Android TV

At this time you will be able to open the application using the Open

or find its icon in the application menu installed on Android TV.

Open an application installed on Android TV

Una cosa que debes tener en cuenta es que no todas las apps de Android son compatibles con Android TV. Pese a que son sistemas operativos muy similares, las características de los dispositivos para los que han sido concebidos condicionan también las funciones de las apps, por lo que aplicaciones creadas para teléfonos móviles o tabletas podrían no funcionar correctamente en un Android TV y al revés. No todos los APKs de Android funcionan al 100% en Android TV.
