Common Samsung Smart TV Issues & Solutions
Player displays 'Playlist Load Error' or black screen on channels
Probable Cause: M3U playlist payload too large for TV memory or DNS lookup failure.
Solution: Configure your connection using Xtream Codes API rather than raw M3U, and set your Samsung TV DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) in TV Network Settings.
Audio plays but screen is black
Probable Cause: Video stream encoded in an audio/video container not supported by older Tizen versions.
Solution: In the player settings on your TV, toggle the video decoder engine from 'Auto' to 'Hardware' or 'Native Media Player'.
