Overview

This article concerns Intuiface Player on the Tizen-based Samsung SMART Signage Platform (aka the Samsung SSP). Although Tizen can also be found on Samsung TVs, Intuiface only supports SMART Signage displays.

Once Player is running, the user experience is identical to that of Player on all other supported platforms. If you are already familiar with how to use Player on those platforms then you can go from a published Intuiface experience to running it on the SSSP in seconds. If you are new to Intuiface, hang in there - it's easy!

For customers with Player licenses purchased before 15-May-2019: Samsung SMART Signage requires a Player for Kiosks license.

As the only multi-touch option for the Samsung SSP, Intuiface is an innovation for a display platform that has only recently adopted touch capability. We have worked - and are working - hard with Samsung to not only refine our support but to improve the SSSP itself. We ask that you bring us into your evaluation process early so you can benefit from our knowledge and insight. We are here to help you get the most out of your investment in the SSP. Contact us at any time.

Prerequisites

1. Use of Intuiface Player on Samsung SSP assumes you have an Intuiface account with an active Platform plan. Need one? Click here to register.
2. Become familiar with the current solution limitations. Some are due to Intuiface, others to the SSSP. All will be addressed over time.

Installing Player

1. Power up the SSP and configure it if necessary.
2. Set the correct date and time. 
   Do not skip this step. If either the date or time is incorrect, Player will not run.
   • To access these settings, use your remote to select the System menu, then Time, then Clock Set.
     
     
3. Open the URL Launcher by using your remote to select the System menu, then Play via, then URL Launcher Settings.
4. On the URL Launcher Settings menu, select Install Web App option.
   
5. Enter the URL for Player then click the "Done" button
   
   • Each version of Player supporting the Samsung SSP has its own unique URL.
   • In the image below, we are using https://sssp.intuiface.com to load the latest version of Intuiface Player. This version assumes your SSP has a touch screen.
   • For a mouse-enabled version of Player, use https://sssp.intuiface.com/mouse to load the latest version of Intuiface Player with mouse support.
     
   • To load a specific version of a Player, see this page
6. Once the "OK" button is pressed, the installation of Intuiface Player will start!

Player activation (aka assigning a license)

Assigning a license

Player activation is the process used to associate Player with an Intuiface account and - if available - a paid license. The activation mechanism has been designed to account for very large-scale and highly variable deployments.

Choose any of the multiple Player activation options available for use.

NOTE:

• When a license expires it is released automatically. Player will then attempt to request a new license the next time it is run.
• If no active Platform plan/license is available, Player will not run.

License checkout order

If permitting Intuiface to automatically assign a license, such as when logging into Player, the oldest available license (based on the original purchase date) with the longest subscription duration will be selected.

Limitations

• Player will lose the license after device restart if reactivating the previously released license from the same device.

Running Player after the initial install

Every time you restart the SSP, if Intuiface Player was the last URL loaded by the URL Launcher, just select the Intuiface Player icon to start Player.

Making experiences available for download

The experiences listed in the Intuiface Experiences panel are found by Player because they were either:

1. published by someone using Composer under the same Intuiface account used to run Player
   OR
2. shared with the Intuiface account used to run Player

The former are listed on the My Experiences tab of Player's Experiences panel. The latter are listed on the Shared With Me tab of Player's Experiences panel.

A third tab in the Experiences panel - named Samples - references various sample experiences you can download to try out Player on the Samsung SSP.
