    Samsung Smart TVs are growing up in terms of the content and services they provide. Earlier today, Facebook confirmed that its Facebook Video app would make its way to Samsung's Tizen-based Smart TVs; now, NexStreaming has released its own NexPlayer SDK, once restricted to Android STBs, Android phones and tablets, and iOS devices, for Samsung's Smart TVs.

    The NexPlayer SDK provides the video platform for video service providers to bring their content to Samsung's internet TVs but also brings features such as the OTT player for mobile apps, multiple audio tracks, time-shifting, Playready DRM, ABR, and closed captioning. Alongside of advanced features, the NexPlayer SDK will ensure that video content is shown at the highest video quality possible.

    In recent months, Samsung Smart TVs have received new and improved Spotify, Google Play Movies & TV, and HTML5-based Vimeo support.
