How to use

TV preparation

1. Enable developer mode on the TV (adapted from official tizen guide):

• Turn on the TV
• Go to the apps page
• Press 12345 on the remote
• Enable Developer mode in the dialog that pops up, and write the IP of the host running docker
• Shut down and restart the TV as instructed by the information screen, re-enter the apps page
• There should be (or could be, depending on the model) a big red text in the top bar saying Developer mode
• Keep the TV on

Jellyfin - the easy way

Simply run:

TV_IP=<IP of your TV> ./install-jellyfin.sh

Example:

TV_IP=192.168.0.10 ./install-jellyfin.sh

Jellyfin - the custom way

1. Create your custom tizen certificate. In order to change certificate details you may edit the .env.default file.

   ./scripts/extract-cert.sh
   

2. Build the image providing required build arguments.

    docker build \
        --build-arg CERT_PASSWORD="$CERT_PASSWORD" \
        --build-arg CERT_NAME="$CERT_NAME" \
        --build-arg CERT_FILENAME="$CERT_FILENAME" \
        --build-arg JELLYFIN_BRANCH="$JELLYFIN_BRANCH" \
        -t jellyfin-tizen-installer .
   

3. Deploy the application to the TV:

• Run the container passing IP of the TV as an environment variable

  docker run --rm --env TV_IP=<your.tv.ip> jellyfin-tizen-installer
  

• OR run the container overwriting the entrypoint for more control over the installation

  docker run -it --rm --entrypoint "/bin/bash" jellyfin-tizen-installer
  

Certificate

To allow reinstalling the app without removing it first you need to reuse the Tizen certificate. You may generate your own by running:

./scripts/extract-cert.sh

Note: you may overwrite default certificate data by amending values in .env.default.
