Samsung LN52A750 52" TV DLNA support?

[kab03]

What about users with a B650 that DO NOT have the Game option? Can they still benefit from SamyGo? Is there another way to install these extensions?

Since you have to load this from the games menu, I doubt if you can install it without the games option.

I have recently bought a UN46B7100 and just now got the courage to try this. I ran the samygo module from games right off the usb pen drive, when the colors ended I exited then pressed media.p then the red button to select the usb option etc. I loaded tversity server and everything workes as everyone else said it would including FF Rew and pause. The next part baffles me and I hope someone has an answer for it. If I just connect to my tversity server with DLNA most all movies play, including mkv and mp4. I have transcodong set to never. When I connect to the tversity server through the usb option/samygo I don't even get a listing for mp4 or mkv files. I checked tversity status page and either way I connect to serve a movie, it does show the samsung tv as the device. Why would it list mkv & mp4 connect one way and not the other?

vprasinos- as far as I can see from the website http://samygo.sourceforge.net/, both LExxB65x and LNxxB65x are supported. I am not sure how you would run the extensions then - you might need to patch your firmware - but the best place to ask would be in SamyGo forums https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/samygo/.

Hello,

I read your explanation. Nice tips. TY for your cooperation, and hope this will usefull for lot of us.
Just 1 remark: When I have to reactivate after Power Off, I go directly trough USB stick menu (Source, down until USB, right, down, enter). This is more speedy than content, right, enter because no image to show.

I saw also that it was possible to directly browse Windows Files and directories, without Tversity, with some small adjustments in AllExtensions.
For possible interested users, I can copy the solution.
Well, this is not so Tversity compliant....

That would be interesting to see. It would probably have to be in the form of samygo for dummies for me to edit their files.

This direct access to files would be useful.

I am using an australian LA46B650 with latest 2001 firmware.
The method works, but:
- high bitrate 8gig 720p mkv rips play with lag at a v.low frame rate. These work fine on tversity
- mkv files > a few hundred megs and all mp4 files do not show up
- some mkv files just freeze after a few seconds, then the tv cycles power and loses connection to the servers

Direct browsing of windows files would hopefully solve these issues.

This is a very promising development

Hello Everydoby,

Ok, sorry for late reply. I want to try several method, to propose to you easy one.
I try method with direct telnet connection, file adding and others, but finally, esay one is by using V0.03 from SamyGo (last time, I use v0.02).

Ok, now, how to do ? First, off course is to have v0.03. Download it and unzip in you stick.

Modify file 04_04_samba.init in SamyGo/etc/init.d like this:

##### CHANGE MEEEEE !!!!! ######
USER="" Here, mention your Windows account
PASSWD="" Here, mention your Windows password
PERM="rw" # can be ro or rw
##### CHANGE MEEEEE END ######

[ -z $USER ] && exit 1
[ -z $PASSWD ] && exit 1

DEST_DIR=/dtv/usb/smb
SERVER="" Here, mention your IP Server
# SERVER="10.0.0.1" # if you want a fixed server
SHARES="" Here, mention your shared windows directory (or drive)


After that, connect your USB and activate SamyGo All Extension. See excellent method wrote by my friend eladm here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44535

Normally, file you create is read during nice color screen, and a new USB stick called "Samba server" is create. Go in this USB, browse and enjoy.

Please note:
o If you don't have password in your windows account, create one with password. In fact, password is necessary for Samsung Linux'OS
o To modify file, use metapad ( http://liquidninja.com/metapad/download.html (LE Version)) or notepad++ but not Notepad (because Notepad don't know "how to do" with CR file.
o Off course, change Your_Windows_account, Your_Windows_Password, Your_IP_ PC_server, Name_Of_Shared_directory by your own information
o Fix your PC server IP to avoid modification of this IP by DHCP. You can try to mention name of srver instead of IP, but in my case, impossible to connect ==> Advise is IP.
o To simplify explanation, I use v0.03 of SamyGo. In fact, I found this release "not so good". Main problem is time during "nice color screen". In V0.02, only 4~5 seconds. Now, 25~30 seconds. In my home, I continue to use v0.02, and modify samyGo in other way than I describe. Main advantage is this waiting time...

TY for feed back about subtitle (normally, function is OK) and mkv HD (normally also ok).

i just picked up a UN46b8000 and love this TV, except trying to get DLNA to work. i have a static ip setup on the tv so that tversity recognizes it automatically. ive tried to always/never transcode. deleted tversity codecs, install ffdshow, remove ffdshow, install sharks etc etc.

all i ever get is not supported format for all video files. i only have mkv and some avi

if use samsungs pc share i can view ALL the movies but dont have audio.

i also have an lgbd390 and it used tversity w/out a flaw. lmao.

im so lost and confused on how to get this working.

so many people with different results using the same settings on various versions of these tv's

Hi,
I'm using TVersity 1.7.2.1 with a Samsung LN46B650. After adding the text from random9's page 5 post TVersity finally works and communicates with my TV - thanks!

Now, I want to use TVersity to replace Samsung's PC Share Manager software, but here are a few issues that maybe I can get help with some/all?
1. First of all, for some reason AVI Xvid files that play fine from the USB don't play from TVersity.
2. The menu system is weird: Samsung TV already has separate menus for video, audio, and pics but when you go into any of them with TVersity, you arrive again at a high-level folder system that includes all media types. Is it possible to make selecting 'movies' on the TV go to just TVersity's movie files?
3. PC Share Manager includes different options to browse content (e.g. timeline, folder name, etc). How can I add this functionality to TVersity?
4. The connection speed between TVersity and my TV isn't great - maybe 1-2Mb. I notice that PC Share Manager buffers much more than TVersity before starting to play - is there any way to have TVersity do that, so I know when play starts I won't get annoying pauses in the first minute?

Thanks for the help!!!

I Have an question about how to write the searchway for directories in samba.init
My movies lies in C:\download how should i write the searchway in SHARES="" ?

thank you for an answer

SHARES="//dreamer69/download/" is thi

[DD4ever]

SHARES="//dreamer69/download/" is thi

Hello,

Yes, I think is a correct syntax, if of course you share directory download.
But, I as allready wrote just above, I prefer write IP adress instead of Dreamer69 in your case. Of course, only if you have fixed IP adress in your server.

[kab03]

SHARES="//dreamer69/download/" is thi

When I set up a share that is on d:\media\movies I give it a share name MyMovies. Then in the shares field I use just Shares="MyMovies". It works for me...

[dreamer69]

Thank you for the information..It worked but the quality when playin samba mounted files isnt as good as NFS.. But files over 2GB you see them in Samsungs media player. Does somebody know any other methods playing mkv and avi files over 2 GB without loosing picture quality in samsung 46B650. Greetings Fisnik

Hello everybody! It took me some time to setup the samba server on my 40b650. This is because it takes more than 10 min for the samba server to appear in menu. On my media server I am running windows 7. Please help !
