Testing smart tv applications - automation

Is there a way to launch Selenium automated tests on a Smart TV web browser? I'm facing a problem to test the smart tv application. I have a set of automated tests (java + selenium) that I would like to launch on a Samsung smart TV web browser. Did anyone have practical experience launching such kind of testing?

Can I run Appium tests from Cloud-based mobile application test service provider?

I am super confused about the cloud-based mobile application test providers. Do they only provide mobile devices that I can provision? It appears after provisioning we have to run tests manually.
Or they also provide the functionality to run tests on those mobile devices. For example, my tests are written in Robot Framework and Appium. Can I run those tests in the Cloud-based mobile application test service provider like AWS Device Farm, Kobiton, or Sauce Labs?
You can use BrowserStack to run your test on. You might want to refer the below links for more details on how to run it.

Need a BrowserStack equivalent that supports Electron apps

At my previous job, we used BrowserStack to run our regularly-scheduled automated tests for web browsers and native mobile apps. At my current job, we need that same sort of functionality for our Electron desktop app which BrowserStack sadly does not support. It is important to note that we are still using Selenium rather than WinAppDriver as it is an Electron app. Can anybody please point me to a suitable service that supports this?

Can I run cloud-based native mobile app testing from cloud?

I wrote tests in Robot Framework with Appium. I test the same app on both Android and iOS.
I want to find out a cloud-based native mobile app testing vendor where (a) I can test the app on various mobile devices and (b) I could also run the tests in the cloud.
I am looking into perfecto, Kobiton and HeadSpin, which seem only to provide access to devices. Are there vendors that allow running tests in the cloud as well?
With BrowserStack you get to run your tests on 100% real mobile devices on our infrastructure via cloud.
While I cannot say about the others names mentioned, but with BrowserStack you can easily get access to 3000+ real devices which will help you to ensure your application is tested on a variety of different specification devices of various screen sizes and from different vendors.
With BrowserStack's devices you can easily switch between OS versions and other device specifications in a jiffy.

Can we run/test desktop applications on browserStack?

Can anyone let me know whether we will be able to run/test desktop applications on BrowserStack?
I'm exploring options to test one of the desktop applications on multiple operating systems and devices.
BrowserStack currently does not support testing of Desktop Applications. It only supports browser based testing and mobile application testing (iOS/Android)

What is the difference between Perfecto Mobile and Mobile Labs Device Connect?

I need to know the difference between Mobile Labs Device Connect and Perfecto Mobile. I don't see much links stating
is there any other differences? Kindly suggest me which one is the best cloud based testing tool.
Thanks
There are many differences between the 2 tools and vendors
1) Perfecto is the leading tool vendor around continuous quality solutions for mobile apps. It backs the solution with a robust mobile quality lab which offers various cloud models (Private Hosted or on premise, Public (top 100 devices always on!), and local devices connected (No hardware required).
2) Perfecto offers open APIs and large set of connection to leading tools (Selenium, Appium, Calabash, HP UFT, Microsoft, IBM, CA, Jmeter, Neotys)
3) Perfecto offers end to end life cycles solutions from manual, automation, performance and monitoring with easy scripting which works on multiple platforms and runs in parallel (in opposed to the MobileLabs only UFT solution which required serial execution)
4) Perfecto offers selenium remote webdriver solution for selenium users DIRECTLY from within the Eclipse IDE (this is the only solution in the market offering cloud connection from eclipse for selenium development). No evidence!! for mobile labs selenium solution
