    From Main SDK:

    • 8.0 Tizen

    • TV Extensions-8.0
    • Samsung Certificate Extension

  3. Once the top progress bar hits 100%, close the dialog and launch Tizen Studio.

  4. Go to Tools -> Certificate Manager. Create a certificate as outlined here note down the profile name you entered when creating the certificate. It's "Sample" by default.

  5. Connect to the TV:

    • Select the "Apps" panel from home
    • Go to the bottom where it has "App Settings"
    • Press the "123" button
    • enter "12345"
    • Toggle the Developer button to On
    • Open cmd.exe and run ipconfig
    • enter your IP into the host
    • On Tizen Studio, go to Tools -> Device Manager
    • On the new window, on top right, there will be 3 icons. Click the "Remote Device Manager" icon (middle icon).
    • On the new window, click the + icon, enter the TV IP address. This can be found from the TV's network connection in settings
    • You should now be able to see a TV device appear in the Device Manager window in the background. It can take a few seconds for the entry to appear. Once it appears, note down the device name (example - UA55DU8300ULXL)

  6. Download any wgt you want to install on the TV

  7. Copy the profiles.xml from C:\tizen-studio-data\profile\profiles.xml to C:\tizen-studio-data.1\profile\profiles.xml replacing it with your new cert profiles

  8. You can now sign and install apps using the CLI. Open a Powershell as admin. Sign the WGT file

    ~/tizen-studio/tools/ide/bin/tizen.bat package -t wgt -s <certificate profile name from Step 4> -- <WGT file path>

    Example:

    C:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin\tizen.bat package -t wgt -s Sample -- .\TizenBrewStandalone-Old.wgt

  9. Install the signed file:

    ~/tizen-studio/tools/ide/bin/tizen.bat install -n <WGT file path> -t <device name from Step 5>

    Example:

    C:\tizen-studio\tools\ide\bin\tizen.bat package install -n .\Jellyfin-10.10.z.wgt -t QN55S90DAFXZA
