Are you tying to watch movies on a smart Fridge? VLC runs on everything. Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, IOS and even Windows Phone had a running version!

If it doesn't run directly on your "smart" TV just hook it to a device that does run it, its just a monitor if you use a HDMI cable.

Stupid fridge 😠

I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if someone has ported VLC to smart refrigerators.

IIRC smart fridges usually use some fork of Android, it's probably doable on some smart fridges very easily

Some smart fridges run android right? VLC has an android apk

Downloading now... I can't wait to watch Avatar 2 on my GE ColdBox 3000!

Could be a tv with a usb port and bare bones media player, pretty sure in that case you could download with vlc and then convert them before transfer

Running VLV on Chromecast with Google TV sometimes gives you issues with audio codecs if you want audio output through Bluetooth. Not sure whether this is OP's problem but it happens.
