Deploying the test application on a Samsung Smart TV

Deploy the test application on a Samsung Smart TV for running tests.

Prerequisites

  • You must have access to the Dolby Digital Plus Online Delivery Kit.
  • You have created the playlist file for your product under test by using the interactive test procedure.
  • You must prepare a USB flash drive with minimum memory space of 10 MB.

Procedure

  1. Download or copy the Samsung_Orsay_app.zip file to an appropriate directory on your local PC.

    If you have downloaded and unpacked the kit on your local web server, locate the .zip file in the <kit parent directory>/Test_Apps/Samsung_app directory.

    Otherwise, download the .zip file from the web page <kit starting page>/Test_Apps/ on the DISC website (https://disc.dolbycustomer.com).

  2. Unzip the file Samsung_Orsay_app.zip, and make sure the unzipped folder (Samsung) contains the files index.html and config.xml, the c_playlist folder, and other files and subfolders.
  3. Import the customized test-signal playlist by replacing the c_playlist subfolder in the Samsung folder with the unzipped c_playlist folder generated by using the interactive test procedure.
    The new c_playlist contains links to test signals that are relevant to your product under test only. If you do not use the customized playlist, a default test-signal playlist will appear when running the test application.

    If you need to test another set of test signals, you must generate a new playlist with the Playback Kit Interactive Test Procedure, and then manually replace the playlist folder with the updated one.

    Make sure that the file names and subfolders structure within the unzipped Samsung folder are unchanged.

  4. Copy the entire folder Samsung to the root directory of the USB flash drive.
  5. Switch on the Smart TV.
  6. Press the SMART HUB button on the remote control.
  7. Select More Apps from the bottom of the TV screen.
    The user interface for accessing the More Apps page may differ across different Smart TV versions. Refer to the Smart TV user's manual for more information.
  8. Connect the USB flash drive to the TV.
    library_booksNote: The TV may not detect the test application in the USB flash drive if you connect it to the TV earlier than this step.
    If the New device connected message prompts, press the return (back) button on the remote control.
    The OttTestApp appears in the More Apps list and is ready for use.
  9. Click on the application icon to run it.
    library_booksNote: This version of the test application cannot be installed on the Samsung Smart TV. You must keep the USB flash drive connected to the TV while using the test application.
