For almost ten years now, many have been predicting the death of traditional television and its replacement by the Internet.

Obviously, such “extinction” should have affected the direct “source” of television – television.

But the reality turned out to be somewhat different: home TVs, like most modern household appliances and electronics have taken the path of symbiosis with computers, while at the same time closely integrating with the Internet and its services.

The first messenger of this technological process, which is often called the system " smart House“That’s exactly what Smart TV was.

The essence Smart technologies TV is quite simple: using a module built into the TV or a connected receiver, the TV actually turns into a tablet that has a number of specialized functions.

Of course, first of all, such a device is intended for watching various films and TV series directly via the Internet.

But you can also play interactive games, visit websites through the built-in browser, and perform many other activities that were previously only possible with computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Getting started with Smart TV

Since the South Korean brand is one of the most popular manufacturers of TVs with the function in question, setup and connect Samsung Smart TV.

Conventionally, this process can be divided into two stages: hardware and software connection.

The first includes physical connection consoles, as well as configuration network connection on it or directly on the TV.

This procedure is not that difficult, but it has a number of nuances, so it is worth devoting a separate article to it.

The software connection includes installation/uninstallation of Smart TV applications, as well as their direct configuration.

To enable this mode on the remote control is provided special button, which may differ slightly depending on various models TVs.

After which you will be taken to the Smart TV menu, all applications (widgets) of which are located in several feeds (their specific appearance depends on the version of the built-in operating system, which, in turn, depends on the TV series).

Here you can find many pre-installed applications, many of which are free.

But most of the media content services provided have many paid features and subscriptions.

Built-in application manager

Each Smart TV has its own analogue Google Play or Apple Store, in the case of Samsung equipment, this is Samsung Apps.

In order to enter the official widget directory, you must select the appropriate section on the screen.

Having selected the application you like from the appropriate category, you can go to its page and download it to the TV there.

As a rule, all programs in the store are quite lightweight, so downloading them takes less than a minute even with an average Internet channel.

After that new widget should appear in the “Custom” section in the main Smart TV interface.

Uninstallation is carried out in the same way:

In the left navigation panel, go to the “Downloaded Applications” section.

Select the unnecessary widget and click on the “Delete” interface button.

An alternative method involves using the remote's Tools button, which calls up service menu.

It also has a delete feature.

Working with the Samsung store is quite convenient, but the installation unofficial applications will require a bit more effort.

Installing custom widgets

However, you can only find truly free TV, applications, widgets, games and other entertainment for Smart TV by installing third-party programs.

It should immediately be noted that depending on the series Samsung TV, indicating the model year, the procedure for working with custom widgets may differ slightly.

First, let's look at this process using the example of a J series TV (2015).

1. First, you need to prepare a flash drive on which the files of the installed programs will be placed. She must have file system in FAT32 format.

2. Then a folder called “userwidgets” is created on it and the files of the necessary widgets are copied into it.

Advice: files must be in ZIP archive, otherwise the TV simply does not recognize them.

3. After this, the flash drive is inserted into the turned on TV, which should automatically recognize new programs. A corresponding pop-up message will inform you about the start of the process.

4. A pop-up message at the top of the screen will also indicate the successful completion of the procedure.

5. Installed widgets will be located in the “My App” subsection of the “Applications” section. Removal user programs carried out in a standard way.

All this is very similar to working with ordinary desktop computer.

But older TV models from Samsung, for example, the previous H series, are not so convenient in terms of customizing custom software.

1. The first step is to log into your Samsung account, for which you need to press the Menu button on the remote control and follow the path Smart Hub - Samsung Account.

2. Select the Log in menu item, and then Sign in.

3. In the login field, enter the value develop, and leave the password field empty. We confirm the specified data using the Sign in button.

As a result of such actions, a service menu will open, in which we are interested in the “Start User App Sync” item (start synchronizing user applications).

5. On at this stage The Develop IP Setting window will open (developer IP settings, which indicates the specific IP address of the server from which the custom widget will be downloaded.

Advice: for each such application this address will be different. You can find out its specific values ​​on the developers’ website. For example, the same nStreamLmod will be loaded from the address 5.45.116.112 or 213.115.22.226).

6. New widgets will also be located in the “My Apps” section

This concludes the description of the technical side of working with Smart TV, now you can move on to considering applications that provide access to a variety of media content.

Classification of custom widgets

Development area for Smart TV on this moment is not very developed, so a kind of anachry reigns in it.

There are no centralized large portals dedicated to collecting and cataloging everything software for Smart TV.

Separate large services, such as VKontakte or YouTube create their own applications, individual volunteer developers post their products on Web 2.0-style sites, and each thematic site has its own radically different view on ratings best widgets.

But still, programs for Smart TV can be divided into several large thematic categories:

  • Services with a variety of searchable video content, such as Yota Play or IVI;
  • Products focused on working with IPTV streaming;
  • A variety of games and their aggregators;
  • Information widgets dedicated to news, punishments, exchange rates, etc.;
  • Applications for working with social networks;
  • Programs for viewing 3D content;
  • Large aggregators of various functions designed to compensate for the minimal interface of the built-in Smart Browser TV.

All this wealth is so “spread out” on the Internet that you can only find something worthwhile on the basis user reviews.

List of the best widgets for Smart TV

Based on analysis of many specialized forums we can conclude that everyone Smart user TV must be installed with a standard minimum of programs that are universal tools to use this function.

ForkPlayer

In the first place it is worth putting ForkPlayer, created to be standard free Samsung Smart TV browser.

Its operating principle is similar to Opera Mini: it adapts regular websites for viewing on a TV in exactly the same way as Opera did for phones.

In addition to surfing the Internet, ForkPlayer allows you to create and use custom playlists.

TheDark SmartTV Media Center

Another universal combine for expanding the capabilities of Smart TV is TheDark SmartTV Media Center.

This application has dozens of functions, ranging from playing webstream videos to the ability to view photos in slideshow mode.

There is also an extended version this software called The Dark SmartTV Media Server, which allows you to configure connections between your TV and a computer running Windows OS, thereby creating a powerful multimedia center.

XSMART

Another similar development is XSMART.

It differs from its competitors from the previous paragraph by supporting many large content platforms, in particular the Ukrainian semi-closed file hosting service EX.UA.

With the help of these three widgets you can get free TV, TV channels, games and other joys of modern digital world.

At the same time, you don’t have to pay to use all this variety of opportunities, which is an advantage custom applications from offers in Samsung Apps.

Watching TV on Android devices

Mobile gadgets have become an integral part of modern information space.

Therefore, in this article it is worth mentioning the possibility of watching streaming television on devices running operating Android systems.
