Flixor for Samsung Tizen TV

A beautiful, Netflix-style Plex client — running natively on your Samsung TV

Sideloadable .wgt · full remote navigation · no casting, no second device

---

What is this?

Flixor is a gorgeous, Netflix-style Plex client. It ships for Web, macOS, iOS and Android — but not for Samsung TVs.

This project is an unofficial port that packages Flixor as a sideloadable Samsung Tizen TV app (.wgt), so you can run it right on the television with your remote — no Chromecast, no phone, no server-side plugin.

Credit where it's due: all the app, design and features are the work of the original Flixor project. This repo only does the work needed to make it run on a TV. Please ⭐ and support them too — see Credits.

What the port adds

Getting a modern web app to run on Samsung's Chromium-63 WebView took a fair bit of work. On top of upstream Flixor, this port adds:

• A Chrome-63-compatible build pipeline — CSS/JS transforms for the old WebView
• .wgt packaging & signing CI — every push builds an installable, signed release
• Direct-to-Plex authentication on the TV, with an on-screen PIN pad
• Full D-pad / remote spatial navigation across the entire UI
• Audio & subtitle selection — before and during playback, with burned-in subtitles so they actually render on the TV
• TV-first layout & CSS fixes throughout (focus states, grids, hero, overlays)

⚠️ Beta. It boots, connects to your Plex server, browses your library, and plays movies & shows with audio/subtitle switching. There are still rough edges being worked through — bug reports and TV-model compatibility notes are very welcome.

Installation

1. Enable Developer Mode on your Samsung TV (Apps → press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the remote → turn Developer Mode On, and enter your PC's IP).
2. Download the latest Flixor.wgt from the Releases page.
3. Sideload it using any of:
   • Apps2Samsung installer (easiest — GUI, no SDK)
   • Tizen Studio (Device Manager → install .wgt)
   • sdb (sdb install Flixor.wgt)
4. Launch Flixor on the TV and sign in to Plex with the on-screen PIN.

Releases are signed with a stable author certificate, so new versions install over previous ones (developer-mode install).

Building from source

Requires Node.js 22+.

npm ci
npm run build:core              # build the @flixor/core package
npm run build -w flixor-tizen   # build the Tizen web bundle → apps/tizen/dist

apps/tizen/dist contains the web bundle plus the generated config.xml and icon. Package and sign it into a .wgt with the Tizen CLI:

tizen package -t wgt -s <your-profile> -- apps/tizen/dist

Or just let CI do it — pushing to main builds and publishes a signed .wgt (see .github/workflows/tizen-wgt.yml).

Credits

This port stands entirely on the shoulders of others:

• Flixor — the original Netflix-style Plex client. All of the app, its UI and its features are their work. (Discord · r/flixor) If you enjoy Flixor, please support the original authors (their Ko-fi is flixor).
• lusky3/flixor-tizen — the earlier Tizen fork this work builds on.
