Version : 5.32.1
Platforms : Samsung 2016 to 2021 Televisions (Tizen 2.4, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0)

  • Fixed audio selection on Tizen 6 devices
    • We had to fall back to direct stream when changing the default audio selection. This is a limitation on the device itself, as changing streams resulted in nothing actually changing, so we’ve had to do it on the server. I’ve reached out to Samsung. Hopefully they’ll have a fix on their end.
