What are "SamyGO Extensions"
- "SamyGO Extensions" enhance your tv's functionality _without_ patching or modify the firmware!
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 may work, kernel modules may also
- 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 [1]
- 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 (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
- Read here
- http://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=96#p540
- so you now know how to disable unneeded services.
- 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.
- don't copy/extract the extensions on ntfs formated usb-hd just vfat (fat32)
- 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
- Subtitles
- tested *.srt files -> no problem over upnp (djmount), cifs and nfs
- naming sheme:
- MyMovie.srt
- MyMovie.wmv
