Streaming on Samsung

The Stream widget can show a network stream or an HDMI input in your content. On Samsung, playback depends on the supported signage model, the stream source, and its media format. First, check that your display is in the supported Samsung device list.

Choose a source​

In the Stream widget's Source settings, choose the type that matches your source:

Source typeUse it for
HTTP videoA video stream available at an HTTP or HTTPS URL.
HTTP audioAn audio stream available at an HTTP or HTTPS URL.
UDP/RTSPA network stream supplied over UDP, RTP, or RTSP.
HDMI InputA physical HDMI input on a display that provides one.

See the Stream widget guide for setup steps and the other widget settings.

Check playback on your display​

For codec, container, resolution, and frame-rate limits, consult Samsung's Signage Video Specifications for the relevant model generation. A supported codec in Samsung's specifications does not guarantee that every stream URL or encoding will play in Wallboard. Test the exact stream on the target display before deployment.

Samsung also documents simultaneous video playback limits by playback method and codec. If your page needs multiple video streams, test that combination on the target model.

Older Samsung generations

SSSP2–SSSP5 models are outside Wallboard's current supported Samsung lineup. Codec tables for those models do not describe the compatibility of supported Wallboard clients.
