[Bug]: Samsung TV App completely broken on S95D after latest update

[mattyblackout]

EDIT: Issues still present after latest update 1.7.1

Stremio Platform

Samsung Native TV App

Describe the bug

Samsung TV app has a number of major issues since the latest Stremio update.

1. Files no longer play (at all). The loading icon simply shows forever and playback doesn’t start. It’s not an addon issue as playback works perfectly on several other devices.

2. The search doesn’t work. Clicking “done” on the keyboard simply closes the keyboard and no search occurs. You’re then locked into the search bar and can’t return to the side navigation bar on the side, so you’re unable to go home.

3. The “continue watching” button doesn’t work properly. For example, if I’ve previously looked at The Shining and now want to continue watching Family Guy, pressing “continue watching” on Family Guy will just bring up The Shining again.

4. Cinemeta categories on Home disappearing after clicking off of a movie or show.

5. Sidebar tabs (discover, library etc.) don't work. Clicking on them just shows a blank screen or infinite loading icon.

Again none of these are addon related. Everything works fine on all my other devices, just massive issues on my S95D since the latest Stremio update. I’ve tried clearing the app cache and reinstalling the app and neither helped.

To Reproduce

1. Attempt to start playback for a film or show.

2. Try to search for a film or show.

3. Attempt to play a film e.g The Shining, then return back to your continue watching and attempt to watch something else e.g Family Guy.

4. Attempt to play a title and then go back to Home.

5. Attempt to play a title, go back to Home and then attempt to click on sidebar items, for example discover or library.

Expected behavior

1. Playback should begin.

2. The search should search.

3. The “continue watching” button should begin playback for the selected title.

4. Cinemeta Categories shouldn’t disappear when navigating back home.

5. Clicking on sidebar items should cause them to load correctly.

I have the same issue. After deleting the cache and pulling the power plug for 10 seconds streams work once, but from the second time, they are just stuck on infinite loading.

Same issues over here with the S90D, also running Tizen 8.0 with Stremio 1.7.1. I got it to work once when pulling the power plug and it would work for the whole session but once I turned the tv off and it was back to not working. On all other devices it works fine
