I would like to know whether Flutter supports Android TV. Please provide a suggestion to access the remote key in my application if Flutter supports Android TV.
There is no where mentioned officially about Android TV in flutter website but Android TV Supports play store so you can somehow create app for TV in flutter.
But Google Android Studio (Java/Kotlin) officially supports Android TV.

I am building a remote control in android for samsung smart tvs. I don't have a smasung smart tv to check my android remote, so I want to test it with some kind of emulator on my computer.
is there such a thing? some kind of smasung smart tv emulator that runs on windows?
there is a emulator for different versions of Tizen Smart TV. You can check it in https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/getting-started/using-sdk/tv-emulator.html
You should also check the limitation of the emulator vs a real TV set https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/getting-started/using-sdk/tv-emulator/emulator-limitations.html

I wanted to create the video streaming application for Android and iOS which also needs to work on Android and Apple TV or at least on Android TV.
April 2021 update
Yes for Android TV
Flutter supports android tv for a while now. There is a long discussion here on publishing it to play store https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/48109
Partially for Apple TV
There are some open source attempts like this one https://github.com/LibertyGlobal/flutter-tvos-demo to support it on AppleTV
But publishing there can be harder depending on App Store guidelines.
No support for Apple TV or Android TV at the moment from Flutter, and according to this thread there is no current plan for that (as of Jul 21, 2018). Actually theoretically, there is nothing stopping you from compiling the project and building Android TV app (can't say much about Apple TV), the binary will build to the device, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Since no official support is there yet, presumably you'll be on your own if you try.
I've been messing around with React Native today. I've been running my react components on a virtual Android tablet using the Android Emulator. I'm now trying to run my react native code on an Android TV emulator, but I can't get it to work. I've set up the TV & Tablet emulators in near identical ways using the Android Virtual Device Manager within Android Studio. The main difference (beyond the obvious) as far as I can tell is that the CPU for the Tablet is x86_64, whereas the CPU for the TV is x86. I do not have the option to match these parameters for these two devices.
When I run react-native run-android, my react project builds successfully, but then the following screen shows up in my TV emulator.
Does anybody know what this is? Is there a proper way to connect a React Native app to an android TV emulator? My assumption was that it should be identical to the process for an android tablet emulator, but this does not seem to be the case - and I can't seem to find android TV specific information anywhere online.
Right now RN doesn't support android TV, they just recently supported apple TV but before that it was supported on ipad. So there must be some additional configurations needed between a tablet and tv. Here is more info on the subject: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10544
It seems to be that this issue is fixed by the steps recommended by this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39562409/798491 (except instead of shaking your screen, hit command-m to bring up the react native dev options).
We have developed a new OTT Streaming STB build on an Android platform. How do I get it to operate the Google TV system so that the Apps built for GTV will load and run correctly?
Please note: I am NOT looking for advice on how to get an app onto the GTV platform - what I need is to get the Google TV platform on my STB.
Thanx

Google TV is not open source. It is built in a different way to core Android, you can't just add it to your build. Nearly anything built for Google TV will work on other Android devices such as yours. The Google Play device filtering is your real problem.
