Samsung removing SMART IPTV from Apps after update?

[MarkosLov]

Hello,

is it true that  samsung is removing SMART IPTV application on all models after update?

If yes, why this is happening, smart iptv is one of rare m3u players?

Regards

Hi @MarkosLov

As this is a third party application I would contact the developer directly to enquire about any future availability issues on your model of TV.

how the developer can answer this question since samsung is removing application during overnight without even any previous notice, we had this case before

Hi @MarkosLov   Can you provide a source that IPTV app is being removed from Samsung TV's  ,I've just seen  reports such  such as this one https://iptv.community/threads/samsung-removing-smart-iptv-from-all-tvs.9505/.     Nonetheless there may be concerns over app, see previous thread -link on that one seems to have been taken down.  https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/TV-Audio-Video/Hey-where-is-IPTV-app-gone/td-p/224500

That is exactly same site where I saw the news, the link you posted.

However, today I sent email to SIP support and they said this is fake news

However, i do not understand why they still don't have available app for 2018 models of tv

HI @MarkosLov, thanks for response-just goes to show that some information online is not accurate.  Not sure on the 2018 sets but perhaps Samsung do not see it as a priority.

My IPTV provider told me it is true all 2018 Samsung Tv's don't have it and will be removed in future firmware updates

[MarkosLov]
