Question
I'm starting TV development following the guide at http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/getting-started/creating-tv-applications. I noticed that Tizen Studio 2.0 only offers one TV project template (BasicUI), while the documentation shows more options.
I have only TV v4.0 installed, and the Package Manager doesn't show previous versions. Is this intentional behavior or could there be an issue with my installation?
Answer
Problem Understanding
The user is experiencing a discrepancy between the number of TV project templates shown in documentation and what's available in Tizen Studio 2.0, where only the BasicUI template appears.
Solution Methods
-
This is the intended behavior in Tizen Studio 2.0 - only the BasicUI template is provided by default.

For additional templates and examples, you can explore these resources:
- General TV samples: http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/samples/general
- Media samples: http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/samples/media
- Smart View SDK samples: http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/extension-libraries/smart-view-sdk/samples
- NaCl samples: http://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/extension-libraries/nacl/samples

For .NET developers, there are additional TV samples available:
- Tizen .NET samples: https://developer.tizen.org/development/sample/.net-application/tizen-samples
- Requires Visual Studio 2017 with Tizen tools: https://developer.tizen.org/development/visual-studio-tools-tizen/installing-visual-studio-tools-tizen
Additional Tips
- The limited template selection is by design in newer versions of Tizen Studio
- Samsung's developer portal provides numerous sample projects that can serve as starting points
- For .NET development, ensure you have the proper Visual Studio extensions installed
