I've got the Samsung Curve tv, relatively new with no issues at all. I usually stream a series on Dailymotion but as of recent, when I go on the website I can't enlarge the screen, change the quality, pause, rewind etc. but plays perfectly fine from time to time just without these options.
Anyone have an idea of how I can fix this? I've never had this problem before and I've been using it for a while, it seems to work fine on my other devices and when I use other websites I don't have this problem either.

Samsung smart tv user here. Original poster is definitely using the Samsung web browser. I also noticed all controls disappeared from the website while using this browser. Videos will play from start to finish and you cannot interact with them at all ( no pause, fast foreword/rewind and no full screen).
I downloaded the dailymotion app from the Samsung tv store and have a much better experience. Unfortunately there is no foreward/rewind functionality. These functions not working are annoying but at least I can pause.
I also downloaded the dailymotion app for iOS (iPhone). The application is great except for one problem with casting to the Samsung tv via a chrome cast ultra. If you switch to another application on your phone it will automatically pause the show on the tv. I find this super annoying as I like to research topics (using my phone)from what I am watching(on the tv).
I also went to the dailmotion website on my laptop using the chrome browser. The site works perfectly. I cast to my tv via chromcast ultra and have full functionality.
So in conclusion, if you want to successfully watch dailymotion on a Samsung smart tv, simply spend ($2000 on a laptop, $1000 on a iPhone, 700 on the TV and $150 on a chromcast ultra) $3850.
edit: just confirmed rewind and fast forward now working on the Samsung smart tv app so full functionality!
