Introduction

Preview Your Samsung TV App (via Muvi Onyx)

Before you create your Samsung TV App, you can preview it by installing the Onyx TV App. Installing the Onyx app will give you the look and feel of your TV app before creating it. By installing the Onyx TV App, you can go through the whole experience of an end-user from registration to viewing the content. You can use your Muvi credentials (Admin) to log in to the app. The app will work as long as you have an active login with Muvi; as a paid subscriber or as a free trial user.
