Hi dubnik,

I have not found any definitive answer on the Wowza forum of this working but I will share with you what I have found:

1. Samsung Smart TV supports RTMP and RTMPe protocols.

2. “If you have vod working with the device’s Flash plugin you should be able to do live.”

3. Here is a [tutorial for building an application for playing VOD on the Samsung Smart TV](http://www.samsungdforum.com/Guide/tut00093/index.html)

{I am unable to test this as I don’t have a Samsung Smart TV}

3:a) for : var url = “rtmp://[wowza-ip]/app-name”

3:b) for : var videoname = “stream-name”

And here are a few forum threads and articles:

> Hi Everyone, I’m working on a solution to re-stream a live rtmp feed to Samsung’s new web connected TVs. Has anyone been able to successfully do this? If so what method did you use? It’s my understanding that the TVs can receive rtmp streams via a Flash based widget but I haven’t had any luck using the Samsung SDK to get it working. As far as I can tell they don’t support rtsp or iPhone type streaming which is a shame! The TVs do have support for h.264 and I’m able to get VOD mp4 files deliver…

The difference is probably the audio and/or video codec. Look at the codecs of the working vod stream for reference, then apply those to the live stream.

I don’t get it

If I use vod application samsung tv opens rtmp stream (flash player) but it doesn’t open live stream.

Is there any difference between rtmp stream vod and live?

No logs.

thanks
