I'm pretty sure that spotify is blocked by one side, because you can't even open the web-player with the browser. Samsung-Support told me 'it might be a problem of licence restrictions' and i should contact Spotify.
According to this report, there are something like agreements necessary to publish your app on tizen...deezer did that at least: http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/02/06/streaming.service.agreement.varies.by.region/

Hey XXX,

Thanks for reaching out to us. We'll be happy to tell you more about Spotify on Samsung TV.

Spotify currently isn’t supported on 2015 Samsung Smart TV models that run the Tizen OS, like you said.

We're always looking to bring Spotify to new hardware and devices. But we can’t say at this time when or if any specific releases will be out - we'd hate to let you down with promises we can't stick to!

As soon as we've got something to announce we'll let everyone know via the Spotify blog, so keep an eye out over here.

Meanwhile, you can always use Spotify on other devices. You can see on this page what our system requirements are.

We hope this information has been helpful to you. Let us know if there's anything else we help you with or if you have any other questions.

Have a nice day,

XXX

This issue is still ongoing.

It seems that Spotify aren't going to sort it with an app for Samsung TVs using the new OS.

That means the only option I can see (feel free to correct) is to cast using Google Chromecase (excellent investment anyway) and cast the screen to the TV.

On Android you can stream with smart view as well without additional hardware...
Another fact: i tried to open spotify webplayer on the onboard tizen webbrowser, but it didn't work. So i thouht it's blocked by samsung, but it isn't: it's because spotify webplayer is based on flash and the browser works with the current standard html5. no onboard solution on the horizon...

[outerlimits777]

I would get a Roku or Amazon Fire and hook it up to your HDMI port - Spotify is available on those devices. Yeah it's too bad it's no longer support by the TV apps itself... 

[styleminister]

Does the Fire Stick work with the remote control of the TV?

Why I can't have spotify for Smart TV 6200

[Stardust85]

Just to reaffirm: The lack of Spotify on current Smart TVs is a shame. At this point, who knows if it ever comes out.
(Already voted for the according idea - as if it made a difference.)

Yes I've found spotify, it's in the Samsung apps hub and go all the way down and at the bottom of the screen should be 3 choices, go to the categories choice and open it, then move over to "lifestyle" option and it should be in that category. It not click on lifestyle and it should be there!

[blugosi]

I'm afraid you are not entirely correct.

No such option can be found on my JS9000.

Which TV are you referring to?

[Tresnan]

Well it's still not there on my Samsung 2015, under Lifestyle I see Deezer, Pandora and other apps. No Spotify! Are you sure your TV is 2015 model running Tizen OS? What model is your TV?

[80sRich]

Still not showing up for me either...

[SImen108]

I don't find spotify either... I have a samsung 6 seris, UE50KU6075

[stb2016]

Yeah. I just bought a Series 6 6200 Samsung Smart Tv. Is Spotify getting added anytime in the near future?

Very unlikely, judging by Samsung's response to a technical query about professional CCTV recorders at work (they initially refused to support us, but after being forced, dodged all points relating to their kit (£4k+) being proven to be in error), Spotify will probably have found samsung's attitude appalling, Samsung's Tizen operating system poorly supported and theerfore they will be ignoring  Samsung's new TVs. Well done Samsung, get your attitude, act, and support together or deserve to die!

[njctechno]

Sorry, just realised  as a new poster, you probably haven't looked through the very long chain of messages, and may not understand why your TV doesn't have Spotify. The Samsung TV's released after April 2015 use Samsung's own operating system called Tizen. Previous models of which I own one used the popular Android, which supports Spotify plus tons more apps. I'm a developer, and to release an app for an operating system environment requires that the tools to enable the developer to code and test the app be very well developed and easy to comprehend. I've downloaded the Tizen tools but not had chance to try them due to other committments. Having coded for various microsoft, apple and android environments, I can honestly say that support, either from the company publishing the software or forums using it is paramount to being able to achieve results.

Just updating the topic that Tizen TV app is now available.
