I don't have Samsung TV so I can't test it myself.

I need someone to do these steps:

  1. Have a Samsung TV 2022 or newer (supports playing xCloud in Gaming Hub app)
  2. Check if you can play xCloud on https://xbox.com/play using the TV's browser
  3. If step 2 works then install TizenBrew and TizenTube

If TizenTube works on your TV then there is a high chance that I can make Better xCloud work too.

Thanks

So I successfully installed TizenBrew and TizenTube, and its working. My Samsung TV type is AU8000, which supports the Xbox App.

@RafidSGz does it work when you play on https://xbox.com/play with the browser?

Never tried it before, I just tried it but it got stuck on the Xbox logo, while the Xbox app works normally

Successfully entered the xcloud main menu by activating desktop view (desktop mode) but unable to sign in, stuck again.

I can sign in to Microsoft and https://support.xbox.com/, but still can't sign in to https://www.xbox.com/. It seems xcloud can't be played on Samsung TV via browser

Thanks for trying. I think the only way to find out is using Developer mode to connect to your laptop.

I think I'll have access to a Samsung TV in April.

Are you using the latest version of OS & Browser?

I'm afraid xCloud doesn't load because Chromium version is too old (in this case it's v76).
I had similar problem with LG CX #278

It looks like there is a software update, but it can only be done manually using USB, I will try that. For LG TVs, I've seen on reddit that someone has managed to play xcloud in tv browser. https://www.reddit.com/r/xcloud/s/q6h2aneX93

Yes, it worked on my LG CX, but only in the Browser app

Software update was successful, but chromium version in the browser remains v76, still can't log in to xbox

I think the Xbox website requires at least Chromium 80, so you're out of luck. Thanks for trying.

That's nice! Please test TizenBrew and TizenTube (opional) on your TV. I'll provide the BX app later.

I have a Samsung TV from 2020, with Tizen Brew installed and working. I will be happy to test any module for this!

Is it possible to modify the Xbox app instead of the Xbox website?

All steps working on Samsung CU7000 (2023), except the XCloud stream on browser is laggy as hell. The video stutters for me on the official Xbox app which is why I'm waiting for better xcloud.
