Ports the ScreenTinker player to a Tizen TV / signage web app, speaking the SAME /device socket.io protocol as the Android player — no server changes; a Tizen display pairs from the same dashboard. - app.js: device protocol client — register (pairing_code | device_id+token), device:registered/paired/unpaired/playlist-update, 15s heartbeat, keep-awake. Always reaches the server prompt until the display is actually paired; a saved-but-unreachable server falls back to the prompt (no blank screen); BACK returns to it. - player.js: fullscreen single-zone renderer — image (duration timer), video (play-to-end + loop), YouTube (iframe embed), widget (iframe render endpoint). - config.xml: Tizen TV manifest; build-wgt.sh packages (signs if Tizen CLI present, else unsigned); README covers URL-Launcher and signed-.wgt deploy. Validated: headless protocol test vs the live server passed end-to-end (register -> pair -> reconnect-auth -> playlist(2) -> content 200); loads + renders in Chromium with no JS errors. Not yet ported (fullscreen single-zone covers most signage): multi-zone, video walls, screenshots, remote control, self-OTA. .wgt is a build artifact (gitignored).

# ScreenTinker — Tizen TV Player (`.wgt`)
|
|
|
|
A Samsung **Tizen TV / signage** web port of the ScreenTinker player. It speaks the
|
|
**exact same `/device` socket.io protocol** as the Android player, so a Tizen
|
|
display pairs and plays from the same dashboard with no server changes.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
- Enter a server URL → connects to `{server}/device` (socket.io v4).
|
|
- Registers, shows a **6-digit pairing code**; you claim it in the dashboard
|
|
(Devices → Pair a display). On `device:paired` it switches to playback.
|
|
- Reconnects automatically with a stored `device_id` + `device_token`.
|
|
- Renders **fullscreen single-zone** playlists, looping:
|
|
- **image** → shown for `duration_sec` (min 3s)
|
|
- **video** (`/api/content/{id}/file` or `remote_url`) → plays to end, then next; single item loops
|
|
- **YouTube** (`mime video/youtube`) → muted autoplay `<iframe>` embed
|
|
- **widget** → `<iframe>` of `{server}/api/widgets/{id}/render`
|
|
- Sends `device:heartbeat` every 15s (with best-effort Tizen telemetry).
|
|
- Keeps the screen awake (`tizen.power` / Samsung `appcommon` screensaver-off).
|
|

build-wgt.sh package (signed if Tizen CLI present, else unsigned)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build-wgt.sh # -> ScreenTinker.wgt
|
|
```
|
|
Without the Tizen CLI this is an **unsigned** `.wgt`.
|
|
|
|
## Deploy — two paths
|
|
|
|
### A) URL Launcher (easiest, no signing) — Samsung signage (SSSP)
|
|
No package needed. Host this folder on any web server (e.g. the ScreenTinker
|
|
server itself) and point the display's **URL Launcher** at `…/index.html`.
|
|
The TV runs it as a web app on boot. Best for Samsung B2B signage displays.
|
|
|
|
### B) Signed `.wgt` (retail TVs / installed app)
|
|
Retail Tizen TVs require a Samsung-signed package:
|
|
1. Install **Tizen Studio** + the TV extension.
|
|
2. **Certificate Manager** → create a Samsung author + distributor certificate
|
|
(needs a free Samsung account; distributor cert must include the TV's **DUID**).
|
|
3. Create a signing **profile**, then:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build-wgt.sh <profileName> # uses `tizen package -t wgt -s <profileName>`
|
|
```
|
|
4. Put the TV in **Developer Mode** (Apps → 12345 → enter host IP), then install:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sdb connect <tv-ip>
|
|
tizen install -n ScreenTinker.wgt -t <tv-device>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Validated (2026-06-09)
|
|
- **Protocol**: headless test against the live server passed end-to-end —
|
|
`register(pairing_code) → device:registered → pair → reconnect(device_id+token)
|
|
→ device:playlist-update(2 items) → GET /api/content/{id}/file = 200`.
|
|
- **Runtime**: loads + renders in Chromium with no JS errors (setup screen verified).
|
|
- Not yet on real Tizen hardware — needs signing + a TV (or URL Launcher).
|
|
|
|
## Not yet ported (Android player has these; fullscreen single-zone covers most signage)
|
|
Multi-zone layouts, video walls (`wall:sync`), screenshots, remote touch/control,
|
|
and self-OTA (Tizen apps update via Samsung's store / URL Launcher refresh, not the
|
|
Android `PackageInstaller` flow).
