Build Process

Also look Wiki.

Prerequisites

• Tizen Studio 4.6+ with IDE or Tizen Studio 4.6+ with CLI. See Installing TV SDK.
• Git
• Node.js 20+

Getting Started

1. Install prerequisites.

2. Install Certificate Manager using Tizen Studio Package Manager. See Installing Required Extensions.

3. Setup Tizen certificate in Certificate Manager. See Creating Certificates.

   If you have installation problems with the Tizen certificate, try creating a Samsung certificate. In this case, you will also need a Samsung account.

4. Clone or download Jellyfin Web repository.

   It is recommended that the web version match the server version.

   git clone -b release-10.10.z https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web.git

   Replace release-10.10.z with the name of the branch you want to build.

   You can also use git checkout to switch branches.

5. Clone or download Jellyfin Tizen (this) repository.

   git clone https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen.git

Build Jellyfin Web

cd jellyfin-web
npm ci --no-audit
USE_SYSTEM_FONTS=1 npm run build:production

You should get jellyfin-web/dist/ directory.

USE_SYSTEM_FONTS=1 is required to discard unused fonts and to reduce the size of the app. (Since Jellyfin Web 10.9)

Use npm run build:development if you want to debug the app.

If any changes are made to jellyfin-web/, the jellyfin-web/dist/ directory will need to be rebuilt using the command above.

Prepare Interface

cd jellyfin-tizen
JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR=../jellyfin-web/dist npm ci --no-audit

You should get jellyfin-tizen/www/ directory.

The JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR environment variable can be used to override the location of jellyfin-web.

Add DISCARD_UNUSED_FONTS=1 environment variable to discard unused fonts and to reduce the size of the app. (Until Jellyfin Web 10.9)
Don't use it with Jellyfin Web 10.9+. Instead, use USE_SYSTEM_FONTS=1 environment variable when building Jellyfin Web.

If any changes are made to jellyfin-web/dist/, the jellyfin-tizen/www/ directory will need to be rebuilt using the command above.

Build WGT

Make sure you select the appropriate Certificate Profile in Tizen Certificate Manager. This determines which devices you can install the widget on.

tizen build-web -e ".*" -e gulpfile.babel.js -e README.md -e "node_modules/*" -e "package*.json" -e "yarn.lock"
tizen package -t wgt -o . -- .buildResult

You should get Jellyfin.wgt.

Deployment

Deploy to Emulator

1. Run emulator.
2. Install package.

   tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t T-samsung-5.5-x86

   Specify target with -t option. Use sdb devices to list them.

Deploy to TV

1. Run TV.

2. Activate Developer Mode on TV. See Enable Developer Mode on the TV.

3. Connect to TV with one of the following options:

   • Device Manager from Tools -> Device Manager in Tizen Studio.

   • sdb:

     sdb connect YOUR_TV_IP

4. If you are using a Samsung certificate, allow installs onto your TV using your certificate with one of the following options:

   If you need to change or create a new Samsung certificate (see Getting-Started step 3), you will need to re-build WGT once you have the Samsung certificate you'll use for the install.

   • Device Manager from Tools -> Device Manager in Tizen Studio:

     • Right-click on the connected device, and select Permit to install applications.

   • Tizen CLI:

     tizen install-permit -t UE65NU7400

     Specify target with -t option. Use sdb devices to list them.

   • sdb:

     sdb push ~/SamsungCertificate/<PROFILE_NAME>/*.xml /home/developer

5. Install package.

   tizen install -n Jellyfin.wgt -t UE65NU7400

   Specify target with -t option. Use sdb devices to list them.
