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:
http://download.samygo.tv/
latest beta:
http://linux.zsolttech.com/Samsung/

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

  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"
  4. Subtitles:
    tested *.srt files -> no problem over upnp (djmount), cifs and nfs
    naming sheme:
    MyMovie.srt
    MyMovie.wmv
