Samsung Tizen TV, IPTV Smarters installed from the store. Loads the playlist, plays for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, then the whole app closes back to the Samsung home screen. Reinstalled once already. Playlist is fine — same M3U works flawlessly on my phone. Is Smarters broken on Tizen or is there a setting?

Known Tizen memory issue in Smarters — not the playlist. Try: 1. **Cold restart the TV** (hold power ~10s, or unplug 60s). 2. **Smarters → Settings → Playback → Player engine** — switch from Auto to **Hardware Player 1**, restart. If still crashing, try Hardware Player 2. 3. Turn off "Auto Play Next" and preview features. 4. Reinstall from the **Samsung store**, not sideloaded. If crashes continue, Tizen isn't going to be reliable for IPTV without a small helper box. See [How to install IPTV on Samsung Smart TV without sideloading](/blog/install-iptv-on-samsung-smart-tv-without-sideloading) — it covers **SmartOne IPTV** and **IBO Player** as more stable Tizen alternatives.
