How to get the IP address of a Samsung Smart TV

Question

I am creating an application for a Samsung Smart TV. In my app, I need to get the Smart TV's IP address. Does anyone know how to get it?

Answer 1

You need to use the SEF NETWORK to do that, make sure you're include this line in index.html

<object id='pluginObjectNetwork'    classid='clsid:SAMSUNG-INFOLINK-NETWORK'    style='opacity:0.0; background-color:#000000;width:0px;height:0px;'></object>

Then somewhere in your code you can use function:

var GetIPAddress = function(){
    var network = document.getElementById('pluginObjectNetwork');
    return network.GetIP(network.GetActiveType());  
};

More information can be read at samsung docs: http://samsungdforum.com/Guide/ref00014/sef_plugin_network.html

For Tizen TV, you can get IP address from webapis, i.e.,

webapis.network.getIp()

will return you the IP address of the device.

Include webapi's in your index.html as :

<script type="text/javascript" src="$WEBAPIS/webapis/webapis.js"></script>

You can find more details related to Network of Tizen TV on the below mentioned Link:
