Samsung H series TV's (2014) does not support IP control!
My family has had a E series TV since 2012 and the smart remote apps in the Playstore work flawlessly with my TV. However when I attempted to connect with my new H series TV purchased this week, I was unable to despite the IP address was correct and my devices were on the same WiFi network. I did some more research and learned that Samsung has changed the communication protocol and encrypted everything. Samsung has been reached numerous times by app developers to provide support for this new protocol but refuse to support third party apps. This is just a heads up for anyone attempting to connect their Samsung TV with their smart phone, it won't work! Smart phones with IR blasters are exempt and are still good. I really hope that someone will be able to develop an app that can bypass this new obstacle, I loved controlling my TV with my smart phone.
Note: I am unaware if any other brands are in the same situation, please post if your newer models work with IP control. Thanks
