First draft for a Tizen implementation

[popdollar]

Tizen - Samsung TV

I've spent most of my free time over the holidays trying to port Fladder to Tizen.
I think I've mostly succeded. There are still some funky stuff and it is by no means finished, but since my days off are coming to an end I figured I could give people a quick heads up of the progress.

Right now it is in a working state, so much that I've used it as my main client for Jellyfin the past few days. There are times when a restart of the current video is needed especially with stuff that need transcoding.

I don't want to open a pull request since none of this have been tested with any other devices only a samsung S90C.
I for that reason just want to let people know this exists and people can use this in however way they want.

I'll just link to the fork branch I've been working on:

There is a small installation guide in a readme in the tizen folder

Disclaimers

I've only focused on movies and video. I have not tested anything else, so mileage may vary.

I was/am completely new to dart and flutter, so there have been used AI for the creation of this.
I've tried to only add and change existing as little as possible, but some things have been modified.

Hi, that's amazing great work. Had a small look at the changes they seem to not be that breaking to the original code. So by all means we could create a PR and merge this into the main repository.

I'm also working on the assumption that we need samsungs flutter sdk to build the tpk file?

Okay that's great. I'll open a PR, then we can see what needs changing 😄

Yes that is correct

@popdollar @PartyDonut I created this tool Jellyfin2Samsung for easy installing Jellyfin and forks to Tizen, right now it contains the official branch and some forks, I'd love to include your TPK or WGT releases as well once you have it working, that way we can bring Fladder to a broader public cause the tool takes care of the signing process and installing process and everything else you normally would have to do with Tizen Studio.

If you are okay with that please let me know and I'll add it

I actually tried your tool for installing on my TV and it works great! I personally have no problem at all if you add the TPK.
So to me it is all up to @PartyDonut

@PatrickSt1991 By all means please do, that would be great.

How would updating the files go, is there something I have to setup on the build server?
Or do you just manually download the new releases?

I'll add your repo to the list of repos to be scanned, it wil check your most recent releases api and checks if there are any tpk or wgt present.

If found the user will who runs the tool will see Jellyfin - Fladder (or any name you want) in Releases and when selected it will show the latest version(s).

If the user choses the version and selects its TV the tool will take care of downloading the file and pushing it to the TV, so nothing required on your end except saying "okay" and adding tpk or wgt to the releases as assets

Hi, are there any plans to update the Tizen port to Fladder 0.10.x? Is the project still being maintained, and if so, is there a rough timeframe for the update?

Thanks!

Sorry, no time frame for my work. Have had a lot going on, so I don't have time for at least a few months unfortunately. If anyone feels like picking up where I left off, they'd be more than welcome.
