Where can you find "SamyGO Extensions"

the released version:

latest beta:

Can you brick your tv with this extensions

answer is simple:

no, but it can kill you cat, burn your house and make horny things with your girlfriend! in worst case you tv shut down and power on again.

except you make changes in the scripts and you didn't know what you done

if you change any of the scripts you also loose the "arris warranty" ;-)

if you need assistance for your own scripts you can ask in:

http://forum.samygo.tv/viewforum.php?f=4

but ask before you bricked your tv!

Is this stuff compatible with your tv

generaly binaries and kernel modules are for ARM architecture

look at the samsung site, download and extract the firmware for your tv and

check the resulting directory name:

• T-PRLAUS -> binaries may work, kernel modules rather not
• T-AMBAUSC -> binaries may work, kernel modules may also
• T-CHE7AUSC, T-CHE6AUSC, T-CHE7AUSC, T-CHU7DEUC, T-CHL7DEUC -> binaries yes, kernel yes (pls. search in forum, i made all tests on UExxB7020 => T-CHU7DEUC)
• T-CHUCIPDEUC -> binaries yes, kernel modules yes (posted by user sondeu)
• T-AMBDFR -> binaries not, kernel modules also not (Renesas SH not ARM)
• T-RBYDEU -> binaries not, kernel modules also not (Renesas SH not ARM)

your tv have to support games in "content library" and "usb movie", pls. consult the manual

General usage

extract the zip file to usb-pen

mv SamyGO directory into the root-directory of the usb-pen

connect usb-pen to tv

wait few seconds for automatic usb connection menu on tv

select "content library"

go to usb -> games, and select "SamyGO Extensions" (with "ok" button on remote-control)

after the colored screen goes away, up to ~27 sec. (this is true up to SamyGO All Extensions v0.03, later versions will have some kind of control-panel)

exit from "content library" and go to "media play" ("media.p" button on remote-control)

select source (red button on remote-control)

depends on your network services you can see new usb-sources (this are "faked" devices)

• "UPNP Server"
• "Samba Server"
• "NFS Server"

select one of them, pick what you want to see (pictures, music or video) than you should see your server(s), enjoy your media(s)

Copy extensions to tv's flash memory

on some models it is possible to copy contents to tv's memory in the

same way you can copy "SamyGO All Extensions" pack to flash

yellow button ..., pls. look into the manual or search in forum

What you have to do before ask 1000 times answered questions

1. Read here

   http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96#p540

   so you now know how to disable unneeded services.

2. File attributes

   don't copy/extract the extensions on ntfs formated usb-hd just vfat (fat32)

   keep the execute attributes correct!

   the init-scripts have the execute bit to set, this is already done

   but if you extracted the archive to a NTFS formated usb-hd this setting

   is lost! (tv mounts ntfs with special options)

   so you have to use an usb-pen or reformat your usb-hd with

   vfat before use it.

3. Media file sizes

   upnp (djmount), cifs and nfs, i tested video files up to 8813360067 bytes (h264/720p mkv)

   server software:

   • upnp: ushare 1.1a (DLNA disabled!)
   • cifs: samba-server 3.2.3
   • nfs: kernel level nfs server (nfsd4)

   ff and seek is (over wifi network) tedious, you can play around with mount parameters in:

   SamyGO/etc/init.d/04_04_samba.init

   SamyGO/etc/init.d/03_03_nfsmount.init

   if you can't access/play your big fat files try to split them, problem is at server side not in "SamyGO Extensions" or TV

4. Subtitles

   tested *.srt files -> no problem over upnp (djmount), cifs and nfs

   naming sheme:

   MyMovie.srt

   MyMovie.wmv

Advanced usage

If you have started the extensions, General usage

you can ssh to your tv (ssh root@<tvs ip>)

after the login you can execute the command

source /dtv/SGO.env

so you get an usable enviroment (sets PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the binaries)

to get more extensions working, you can copy them into the SamyGO directory structure (like SamyGO-WiFi-Extension-Addon)
