Make an app appear in the samsung gaming hub

Smart TV
1

Is there a way to ‘tag’ the application as a game, or install it in a specific folder so it can appear in the samsung gaming hub ?
I didn’t find any information about this online and with my personal research, the only thing i found was the app_widget_category that can be game/media or nothing.

app_widget_category                   =d/game.category
app_widget_category                   =d/media.category
app_widget_category                   =------------- //in my case

In the case of my application, nothing is set, i beleive this might have to do with the config.xml of the app

Could someone clarify this for me ?

Thank you.

I don’t believe there is any documentation published yet, Can you create a Developer Support request about this, hopefully they will have an answer and that will also create an action to document this.

So here i am with some “answer” i guess.

From the Developer Support request :

If you are a TV game developer then for Smart TV questions, please login to Seller Office TV (Seller2.0) and Ask Question in the 1:1 Q&A section

From the Seller Office 1:1 Q&A :

Dear developer,

I hope everything is well!
If they are asking how can their app are existing on the Gaming Hub link, it’s the PM’s policy based on the

contract.
As I know, no apps are planed in this time.
Even though their app is launched on the Media hub, If their app’s category is “Game”, User can do "Add:

Home’", at that time app will be added on the Gaming Hub.
If you have another question please let you free to opena a NEW rounf og Q&A.
Best regards,

-Samsub

So here you go, i think it’s only done through publishing …
