FreeBSD_Lover 13 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) By older, what year are we talking? Or what model number? Any non-Tizen model is what I meant. But specifically I have UN55ES7100F (6 years old ish?) and UN32J5500AF (1.5 years old ish). Edited August 2, 2019 by FreeBSD_Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5041 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) J = 2015 Are you sure it's Orsay.? I know some entry level models were in 2015, but the developers site lists that as Tizen model for some reason Edit: the users manual I just downloaded from the Canadian support site also says your J5500 is Tizen https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/UN32J5500AFXZC/ Edited August 2, 2019 by FrostByte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its user interface and mine are totally different. I'll go check again, but I was sure its not. Let's hope I am wrong!

FrostByte 5041 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) No problem, hopefully what I'm seeing is correct and you can load the USB version on yours also. Your TV is listed below in the 2015 STANDARD2 group as Tizen https://developer.samsung.com/tv/develop/specifications/tv-model-groups Also, on page 12 of the users manual I linked to on the Canadian Samsung page earlier it mentions Tizen The Tizen OS has changed some since Tizen 2.3 which is what your J5500 should be running according to what I'm looking at. So, that could be why it looks different than your mom's TV. @Luke can correct me if things have changed, but as far as your 2012 ES goes I'm going to say there is no way even if Samsung was still accepting Orsay app updates from Emby. Samsung TVs older than 2014 don't support css flex without an evolution kit. I've tried it several times with my SEK2000 removed and nothing lines up correctly. Edit: BTW the unofficial app was recently updated by SamES to v2.2.6 and should work on your 2012 ES. Edited August 3, 2019 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying I can get an unsupported version of Emby app on the older Samsung? What is SamES? Is the the OS on the TV or the unsupported Emby app? Where do get it? I did a quick www search and only thing I found was VLC version 2.2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamES is an Emby developer who once owned a Sam(sung) ES TV just like you. For your ES7100 you can install the unofficial community app using these instructions. Basically you will connect to an Emby IP address which Luke maintains and grab it from there https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/9869-samsung-orsay-smarttv-2011-2014-third-party-app-install-instructions/&do=findComment&comment=277346 On your J5500 I'm hoping you can install from usb using https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/74969-samsung-tizen-smarttv-2015-present-install-from-usb/ Edited August 7, 2019 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h1jack1 1 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hey guys, Any update on this?

h1jack1 1 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Thanks Luke, but the install from USB only seems to be for Tizen tvs, will that work with my MU6300? If so perfect, I'll definitely do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h1jack1 1 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Downloaded the zip - put the files on the root of a USB drive 2.0 and plugged it into the USB drive of the TV and then turned it on. You think I'm missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h1jack1 1 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Sorry yep that was the issue. Super weird, I originally chose FAT but I guess it didn't work. It's working now, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeBSD_Lover 13 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I had the exact same issue with my TV I did a couple days ago. Turns out the stick was formated with ext4 I think it was. Thought hmmmmm, changed it to fat and then the instructions worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5041 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 My user manual states "The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems" for usb media playback. I'm going to add something to the instructions to use FAT though since this has come up a couple times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h1jack1 1 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Great - yeah the app works super well on my TV. Thanks a bunch for the help. Any plans to add file descriptions for the TV app? The Emby IOS app has them so it's easy to determine which files are which. Example: Determining between 2 different 4K files, it shows the codecs and files sizes in the description.

Luke 37004 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It's possible for the future. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
