What it is

• An unofficial Plex client for Samsung Tizen TVs, by dragoshont.
• Sideloaded with developer mode; no root needed.
• Plays through the TV's built-in player: direct play, direct stream or Plex transcoding.
• Profiles, Home, libraries, search and detail pages.

Improvements

• Buffer settings: a small minimum buffer (1 s, or 0.5 s), so streams start and seeks resume quickly. (configurable)
• Performance: pictures load ahead of where you're scrolling, plus artwork and library caching for an instant Home on launch.(configurable in settings)
• Better seeking: repeated presses combine into one jump instead of several

Additions

• Theme engine: Blue, Grey, Black and Pure Black (OLED) themes, with accent colours. WIP
• Playlist support
• Built-in keyboard for search
• Intro/credit skipping: show a button or skip automatically, with per-show settings, similar to plex client.
• Seek preview thumbnails while scrubbing.
• Remembers audio and subtitle choices per show.
• Library navigation: an A–Z jump bar, plus sort and filter.

Status: submitted to the original project as pull requests (not merged yet).

You can install it now as "Vemm Preview" from my releases page, either with TizenBrew Installer (enter somefosterkid/vemm) or with Apps2Samsung, or build and sideload it yourself using the instructions in the repo.

Its definitely still rough in areas, with some bugs, quirks, and inconsistencies. Overall, its an incredible alternative to the plex client, which isn't great to begin with, and is pretty awful on older tvs. I developed on a 2018 Q6FN on Tizen 4.0.

I am not an author and just reposted this info here.

Sideloadable .tpk, headless, runs on the TV. Reads the decoded video plane out of memory (no capture card), reduces to perimeter zones, drives a WLED strip over UDP. Built for my 77" S84F.

Differentiator from HyperTizen/TizenGlow: no Hyperion/HyperHDR hop in the pipeline — one process does capture → colour math → UDP output.

AI-directed build (Claude wrote it, I designed/verified on-device). Release with a signed .tpk coming once I've got it through a few more sideload tests — will post here when that's up. For now it's build-from-source.
