Interesting in the wrong way
The encryption media extension is too old in tizen 2.4. The version in the ks8000 is the same as that in the 2014 sets. Devs have raised this previously (not bbc but independents trying to create DASH based media players) they could never get it to work persistent errors with many things but I believe mainly with widevine and clearkey. This api baked into the os so short of giving the ks series a tizen 3 update it would have never worked, they had no such issues on 2017 sets
For those interested http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/specifications/media-specifications

I always suspcted this, Samsung are killing off KS support just to shore up sales of 2017 sets
@I think it means that the ks and older will never get IPLAYER 4K and HLG. What worries me is Sky looks likely to use HLG and will the ks and older be able to show it. I have asked @AntS for an answer to this as Samsung must know because Sky are going to start very soon. I hope its not going to be like IPLAYER when ks and older owners found it would not work when iplayer started its HLG test.
Moment of truth is upon us so we will know if KS sets will work with SKy Q HDR (or HLG for that mattre) over HDMI or not
@AntS I have asked which devices can play HLG over hdmi and I being told it works but not getting any answer. It was said by someone that the pana player does only for an actual pana owner saying it did not. The ts samples that are said to show USB HLG, has problems because the ks will not play ts files. I even tested on a q8f and again it would not play ts files. The only source I have seen and had confirm is the TV app YouTube. What seems to happen when I ask these questions is i get drowned out. As to people working for companies is not an issue but I do not think it is unreasonable to ask. The issue with sky is very odd in that Samsung must know the answer and thier silence is worrying.
I do not see how I have moved the goal posts, if Samsung had come clean in the first place about not supporting iplayer back in 2016, then there would not be this thread. If Samsung had not promised the smart connect or hdr10 + then again their would be non of these threads. I think thisvthread sometimes has gone off in a tangent but at the end its still about IPLAYER HLG which again we have asked for a definite answer and non has been forth coming and yes that does cause upset when people me included spent over £3000 on what I thought, and had read Samsungs own propaganda which was false on certain promises and also a bit short on r there
