I am not a developer, and my knowledge of coding is limited. I am putting in my best effort to address issues and maintain the repository. If you encounter any problems, please report them in the issue section. While I cannot guarantee a solution, I will certainly investigate.
Please be aware that my fixes may not be optimal, and there might be better ways to resolve issues. I appreciate your understanding as I do my best to improve the application.
Starting with the project, you should first take a look at the required Prerequisites and then follow the Installation instructions in order to successfully install Moonlight on your Samsung Smart TV.
Before building this application, you must have Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2) and Docker Desktop installed on your computer.
Also, you should run "Docker Desktop" before proceeding further and it is also recommended to close any software or application that requires high CPU and memory resources, because "Docker Desktop" will take high resources during use.
