- Independent and unofficial, with no claim of platform affiliation or app-store approval.
- Lightweight ES5 codebase for old TV engines and modern browser-based harnesses.
- Remote-first browsing, playback, quality selection, chat, VODs, and clips.
- TV builds do not require a Twellie backend service; playback and browse requests are handled by the app and platform player.
- Supports Orsay, Tizen, TizenBrew, and browser preview builds where the platform capabilities are available.
- Localized UI for 12 languages.
Pick the guide that matches your TV generation and preferred install method. TV firmware, region, and developer-mode behavior vary, so these are supported paths rather than a promise that every model works.
| TV Model | Platform | Installation |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 F-series | Orsay | macOS · Windows |
| 2014 H-series | Orsay | macOS · Windows |
| 2015+ J-series and newer | Tizen | Apps2Samsung |
| 2017+ M-series and newer | Tizen | TizenBrew |
Older 2011-2012 D/E Orsay sets are not supported. See docs/PLATFORMS.md for engine details, playback paths, and current caveats.
| Bucket | What it means for Twellie |
|---|---|
| Confirmed/tested | Build and install paths covered by this repo: Orsay F/H App Sync installers, Tizen .wgt release packaging, TizenBrew packaging, and the browser harness. |
| Likely but untested | Additional Tizen model years that expose the expected AVPlay, web runtime, developer-mode, and network behavior. Please report model-specific results. |
| Unsupported | 2011-2012 D/E Orsay sets, TVs whose firmware cannot reach modern Twitch HTTPS endpoints, and devices without a usable install path. |
| Unknown | Regional firmware variants, newer platform changes, and third-party browser environments not covered by the current reports. |
When reporting compatibility, include the TV model, model year if known, platform, firmware/software version, install method, what works, what fails, and safe logs or screenshots.
Twellie 4.0 is a major refactor/release of a project that began in 2014. The current app has a shared ES5 core, platform adapters for Orsay/Tizen/TizenBrew/web, refreshed Twitch playback/browse integration, chat, VODs/clips, login for followed channels on supported builds, release packaging, and unit tests.
The project is community-maintained. Contributions, device test reports, compatibility reports, and focused bug reports are welcome.

Third-party names are used only to describe compatibility and the service Twellie connects to. Do not submit third-party logos, copied app-store assets, copyrighted stream screenshots, channel content, or brand-styled marketing assets unless you have the rights to include them.
Born in 2014 and shaped by a decade of community pull requests: translations, compatibility fixes, and device-specific improvements from contributors.
PRs welcome. Keep the TV code ES5 and include device details for platform-specific changes.
