Tizen
The operating system Samsung uses on its Smart TVs and signage displays, running apps built with web technologies.
Tizen is a Linux-based operating system that Samsung uses on its televisions, professional signage displays and some other devices. Tizen apps are mostly written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and distributed as packages with the .wgt extension.
For digital signage there are two routes on Tizen. On consumer Samsung Smart TVs, content opens in the TV's browser. On professional signage displays, the SSSP platform lets you install a player app directly on the screen.
Which route does MIA use?
Both. On Samsung Smart TVs from 2018 onwards, the MIA player runs in the browser, and a build for older browser engines loads automatically. On SSSP/Tizen signage displays, the signed MIA Player package is installed with URL Launcher and keeps media in the display's memory. In a real Wi-Fi outage test inside an elevator, playback showed no interruption. For step-by-step setup, read how to install an app on Samsung Tizen signage.
