CarlosLima 148 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi,Some customers have queried about some details, for installation via usb. 1. what is the recommended size of the pendrive or is it indifferent2. In what format should the formatting of the pendrive, FAT, NTFS, indifferent? It would be great if images of the installation screens were posted, or they would serve as a tutorial, since many clients are lazy and insecure. Thanks for any tip.

Luke 37003 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm not sure about the format, try ntfs? It just needs to be large enough to hold the zip file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostByte 5041 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 FAT seems to work too for me, According to my 2018 manual though "The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems." Also, the usb needs to be in write mode when plugging in. The TV will write a file and an empty folder to the usb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosLima 148 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi, again with a doubt I am in Brazil and some customers prefer not to change the location of the TV to another country, because they are afraid of losing the installed applications or some other problem. On the installation via USB, are there any risks of causing TV problem if something goes wrong during installation, such as incompatible TV model or power failure in the installation process? It is fundamental to be sure that no risk exists, to avoid stress and financial losses with repairs of problems caused.} Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution FrostByte 5041 Posted July 3, 2019 Solution Share Posted July 3, 2019 The install takes about 5 seconds so you would have to be really unlucky to have a power outage in the middle of install. Once you push the usb in there will be 3 quick messages and then it's done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosLima 148 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) My feedback.Earlier today I did the USB installation on Samsung Tizen from a client. It did not take more than 10 seconds. Very fast and very simple too.The picture quality was spectacular in 1080p and also in 720p. I used a formatted pendrive 16GB on the FAT32 system and extracted the file tizen.zip directly to the pendrive. I turned off the TV, snapped the USB stick and turned the TV on, the installation occurred automatically, leaving the Emby app in the "My app" Edited July 15, 2019 by CarlosLima 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosLima 148 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hi, today I did several tests on the application of Samsung TV, installed via usb. I have found that the .strm files with external subtitles are not played on TV because it displays a playback error. when you remove the caption from the folder, the file has normal playback.
