Find the Thmanyah app in the TV's app store. Search for "Thmanyah" and ensure you can download and install it.
⚠️ Warning: If the TV is unsupported, its system is outdated, or Android was manually installed on it, a message may appear that the app is incompatible. Even if installation succeeds, the app may malfunction due to low memory or device specifications.
Apple Screens "TVos"
"tvOS" is Apple's proprietary operating system designed for a big-screen viewing experience. It provides an interface for streaming via apps, an app and game store, and supports features like "4K HDR" and "Dolby Atmos". To watch Thmanyah on this type of TV, you need a device that meets the following requirements:
-
Minimum OS: "tvOS 16" or above.

ℹ️ To control the app via the screen, you can use any of the Siri remotes and touchpad/trackpad controllers as long as the Apple TV supports them.
Screens Operating in Web Environment "webTV"
"WebTV" devices are smart TVs relying on the browser environment and the company's specific app stores, so the streaming experience may vary depending on the device's system and version. To ensure compatibility, update the TV system to the latest version, and ensure the app store on your TV is official and available for our region "the Arab world region".
The most common compatibility for watching Thmanyah on these screens:

Samsung "Tizen": Models 2019 or later, or Tizen 3.0+
-
LG "webOS": OS "webOS" version "5.0" or later, including the "LG Content" store where you find the Thmanyah app when you search for it. If it doesn't appear, the store in your country likely doesn't offer it, or your device's system is unsupported.
-
Hisense "VIDAA": Models 2021 or later
⚠️ Operating systems like "Tizen", "webOS", and "VIDAA" are used by different TV brands, and the app experience may vary from one device to another even if the OS is the same.
