Hi Community,

Seeking advise on implementing Bitmovin Player for smart-tv. It works fine on Samsung Tizen from 2017 and above, but on Samsung 2016 the attached error is thrown.

![Screenshot 2022-09-16 at 16.11.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/bitmovin/original/1X/1edb14865278932a344adfd1aa96650d3634016f.png)

It seems to somehow maybe related to Babel/Polyfill NPM packages. Does anybody have experience in some workaround/changes to make it work on Samsung 2016.

Thank you.

Hey Peder,  
Samsung 2016 TVs use a quite old browser version, which can’t handle more modern Javascript features. What exactly causes the problem is hard to say without the code, and babel & polyfill packages you are using.

A good approach is typically to start off with a minimal sample that’s known to work (like our sample application on Github: [GitHub - bitmovin/bitmovin-player-tizen-demo: Sample app for how to use the Bitmovin Web SDK on Samsung Tizen devices](https://github.com/bitmovin/bitmovin-player-tizen-demo)) and add more code, packages etc and see when it starts breaking.

This page from Samsung has quite details information about what Javascript features are available on which Tizen version: [https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/specifications/web-engine-specifications.html](https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/specifications/web-engine-specifications.html)
