Smart TV

Smart TV can act as a player if your TV supports a web browser. Be aware that some Smart TV browsers may not support all HTML5 features, so you may experience some issues with video playback for example.

When you run the browser yourself, just use any playlist URL to display your content.

To help you identify and locate your device, you can set the following metadata in url's query parameters

Example:

https://<STUDIO_PLAYLIST_URL>/?hostname=My%20Device&icon=auto&longitude=48.8566&latitude=2.3522`
