About smarttv-twitch
Twellie (smarttv-twitch) is an independent, open-source, unofficial TV client for watching Twitch streams on supported Samsung Smart TV platforms. It is built for older or unsupported Samsung devices, with remote-first navigation, support for browsing, playback, chat, VODs, and clips, a lightweight ES5 codebase, and a localized UI for 12 languages. TV builds do not require a separate Twellie backend for playback or browsing, and the project supports Orsay, Tizen, and TizenBrew Samsung TV platforms. Compatibility is not guaranteed for all supported model years, as it depends on TV firmware, region, developer-mode settings, and install path. Older 2011-2012 D/E Orsay Samsung TVs are explicitly unsupported, and the project has no affiliation with, endorsement from, or association to Twitch Interactive, Amazon, or Samsung.
