Problems pairing my Samsung Serif TV about homebridge-samsung-tizen

[tavicu]

Hi,

Unfortunately your TV is running a version of Tizen which is not compatible with this plugin.

It's another method where pairing is made by PIN as you seen.

Adding this method to the plugin takes time and i don't have a TV where i can test it. So everything i will do will be blind.

Right now it's not in my priorities list but if i'll have the time i want to do it in the future so more people can enjoy the plugin :)

Alright, that's too bad. Thanks for your feedback and work on the plug-in.

I will definitely keep an eye out for any possible future releases with the PIN method 👍

Had exactly same problem with Samsung "The Frame" TV. Tried 20+ times with same result as described. But then turned off youtube app, went to home screen and everything worked perfectly.

was:

0|homebrid | [2018-12-17 21:28:30] [TV2] Trying to pair the TV

0|homebrid | [2018-12-17 21:28:39] [TV2] Pair failed. Make sure you click Allow on the TV!

Shut down youtube app - went to home screen
became:
0|homebridge | [2018-12-17 21:36:39] [TV3] Trying to pair the TV
0|homebridge | [2018-12-17 21:36:41] [TV3] Pair success. SAVE THE TOKEN! Update config file to use {'token': 'XXXX'}

Hi @ChrisGSXR, thanks for your comment.

Can you elaborate a bit more on what you exactly did?

Did you first try to pair the TV while you had the YouTube app open? Or did you somehow terminated the YouTube app? If so, how does this work?

I don't think the Frame and the Serif run the same version of Tizen but I hope you can help me further.

1. I was trying while tv was showing some youtube stuff. I have just hold the "go back" button for several seconds to shut down youtube app. Went to original home screen and it worked for me. I know, sound weird.
2. I think it's the same Tizen I went to http://192.168."tv ip address":8001/api/v2/
   and there is parameters: "FrameTVSupport":"true","OS":"Tizen"
