This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of the OnSign TV Player App on Samsung Smart Signage Platform devices of the 2nd and 3rd generation. These devices can only run the OnSign player app up to version 3.3.x.
Learn how to install OnSign TV on newer Samsung Tizen Screens.
Requirements
Besides having an OnSign TV account, you need a 2nd or 3rd generation Samsung Smart Signage Platform LFD (Large Format Display). Once you have the device in hands, you need to determine its current state:
- If your device has Samsung's Magic Info software activated, you first need to reset your LFD to its factory state. This is done by going to Menu > Support > Reset All on your SSSP device.
Please note, that this option is not accessible while running the Magic Info software. A simple way to fix this is by going via a different Input Source (e.g. HDMI1, DTV, etc).
- If your device is running a different software via the URL Launcher, check out the last section of this tutorial (Uninstall) before continuing.
- If your device currently has no other software installed, continue as follows.
Install
To install the OnSign TV Player, follow the steps below:
- Press "Home" on the remote control.
- Go to "Change URL" in the top-right corner of the URL Launcher.

The OnSign TV Player for Samsung Smart Signage Platform devices will be automatically installed into your LFD. Your display may restart one or more times during the setup process.
Your Player software will automatically update to its latest version available during boot.
Uninstall
To uninstall the OnSign TV Player or any other URL Launcher software running on your LFD, follow the steps below:
