Mirror For Samsung Tv Mac Not Working

I purchased the Flex fridge RF28M9580SG/AA and a Samsung MU7000F Smart TV for the specific purpose of mirroring the TV on the fridge. It has been a complete exercise in futility. I put the TV in the kitchen with the fridge and put them both on the same wifi network and bandwith and all the happens is the fridge is stuck in a loop looking for the TV. I have reset the Family Hub and reinstalled everything to no avail. I called tech support and I was informed that the TV can only mirror to a handheld device using Smart View. I was transferred from TV tech support to the appliance tech support and the rep was clueless as to the functionality of the new model. I was told that it was very unlikely that the fridge could mirror a TV.

All; Audio Driver; LG TV; Pricing; Router settings; Samsung TV; Sony TV; Technical; iPhone / iPad; Mac. Screen Mirroring does not work on my Sony TV with Android OS. How to redeem a promo code in Mac App store. Mirror for Samsung TVworks on any Samsung Smart TV from the 2012 models onward. Which model year do you have? Which model year do you have? You can see that by looking at the middle letter in your model type (on the back of your Samsung TV).

Also, the Smart Home app is no longer usable on the fridge and has been replaced by the Samsung Connect app but that app is unaavailable to download to the fridge. All other apps in the Family Hub work fine. Need some help! Is samsung working on a solution for line of sight only for tv mirroring (sort of defeats the idea if I can see the tv from the frig) - just bought a new samsung tv to support this function only to find out after the fact that it relies on line of sight and not the wifi network.

It finds the tv but just spins - chatted with tech support and he apologized but offered no hope of resolution - with the hub v2 RF22M9581SG being on the network and a google home next to it - I would think a software patch should be in order - the advertising of this feature is misleading. I'm having the same issue, and it is infuriating! I will make it my goal to post negative reviews exposing this engineering flaw everywhere this product is sold! This was one dumb engineering idea.

What a horrible marketing ploy. It totally defeats the purpose of being able to mirror tv, if both devices have to have line of sigh-really defeats the purpose. What moron came up with that idea?!

My TV is attached to the wall literally around the corner from the fridge and it won't connect. What an insignificant feature for a 'smart refrigerator'. After MONTHS of dealing with Samsung phone support this issue was finally kicked up to a Tier 2 support ticket. Needless to say the Samsung tech showed up and thoufght the TV mirroring app worked via Bluetooth. Need I say more.

Just to be safe I had the TV in the kitchen next to the fridge. The tech tried the allk of same connection protocols that I had tried with Samsung phone support and guess what? Nothing worked. So the tech decided to call another tech that specialized in TVs. Nothing they tried between the two of them worked, basically all repeats of things that I had tried and been through to no avail.

Well the tech got desparate and we started going through each menu item page by page. So we are in the main Settings menu and we navigate to the on-line manual. Well in the on-line manual there is also a Settings menu. We clicked on it and then clicked on the Content menu. In the Content menu Java and pop up windows are OFF by default. So we set the pop up menu to ALLOW pop ups and OMG the TV Mirroring app worked! 3 months of utter frustration trying to get the TV Mirroring to work and this undocumented toggle button was the culprit.

The tech said, 'Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!' Oh, but things do not end here.

I moved the TV back to the den (the room next to the kitchen) and now the TV Mirroring does not work AGAIN! Well it seems the fridge uses some kind of rinky dink crap called WiFi Direct. And this WiFi Direct is only good up to 49 feet DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT!

Who thought this through. If I had a TV direct line of sight in the kitchen I wouldn't need to mirror a TV.

Now I have a brand new Samsung fridge AND a new Samsung TV which are absolutely useless with each other. VERY deceptive advertising on Samsung's part. As I had a perfectly good TV before I went to return the TV to Best Buy and discussed the issue of the WiFi vs WiFi Direct non disclosure during the sale. The whole mess is being kicked up to the Best Buy District Manager. I'm sure the Samsung rep for the store will be of no help because when my salesman contacted the rep in the middle of this whole situation for some help, his response was, Call 1-800-SAMSUNG. And to make things worse, I bought a whole kitchen of new Samsung WiFi ish enabled appliances, refrigerator, double oven, 2 dishwashers and a microwave all in the new Black Stainless Steel. Another dirty WiFi secret of Samsung's is that not all appliances use the same Samsung App for communication and integration.

Some use an app called Samsung Connect and others use Samsung Smart Home and not all of the appliances can be viewed in the Family Hub App. I had to make two separate accounts, figure out which appliance went with which app. My advice is to AVOID all Samsung WiFi enabled appliances until they get it together. I guess it's the price you pay for being an early adopter. Needless to say I cannot recommend these products or give them even an 'average' review.
