Luke 42077 Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Hi, first of all, congratulations for the great work. I loved the idea of having a Media Browser using ServiceStack. I'm very interested in participating in the Alpha test program for Smart TV. How to proceed? You're familiar with ServiceStack?
azninvazn 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Any suggestions on how to enable the dev menu on a 2014 "H" series - I have tried the login it does in fact show the develop account under the "Games" menu however I can not fine a place to enter any IP - I looked all over tools and settings as well as all over the Smart TV app nothing. The little blue button does nothing as well. Any help or suggestions from anyone that has this working on a H5500 would be great. Heres what i did: Activate Smart HUB Login with develop Apps Page Highlight E-manual (im sure you can highlight any of the apps) Held down the Return key (the one in between all of the arrows) on the remote There should be a sub menu that opens Select IP setting Enter IP and proceed like the instructions page noted

mbnwa 49 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 These are not DRM files they are a standard MP4 but with an M4V extension I can play the same m4v from my USB drive as well as play to using direct play Can you add m4v to the extension list with mp4? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 In truth I don't know how - I don't know how I can differentiate from files that have DRM to files that dont, so I can't tell my program to play all M4V files as those with DRM will cause problems with the app. I'll look into it but I really can't make any promises on this one - I will review the M4V schematics and see what is possible.
mbnwa 49 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Any output I can give you that will help? I can provide details from a DRM file as well as non-DRM I only have my MP4 as M4V due to support for my Apple TV and other devices with home sharing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 14, 2014 by mbnwa
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 Thank you for the offer I just need some time to research properly.. I'm hoping the video codec in the files are different in each file but to confirm can you post the file's info from the mediabrowser web interface please
mbnwa 49 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah I can do that tonight but they should be exact just no DRM flag in the file Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mbnwa 49 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 In retrospect I did have to add M4V to the DLNA profiles to get play to to function correctly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 Does the file with DRM play on the tv? And does the mediaBrowser info screen tell you if it is DRM'd or not? If so I can use that
mbnwa 49 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I will conduct that test when I get back home and post the results Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks - that worked great now I have another issue when playing M4V files I get a message saying the following it looks like the Samsung should support this natively Hi there I've double checked the Samsung documentation and it does not list M4V as a supported container, and as such it doesn't play in my app yet.. M4V if i remember correctly is an Apple container which holds the MP4 codec video but also allows for DRM (copy protection) - and it is likely this DRM that samsung does not support natively.. Sorry - Wait for transcoding.
mbnwa 49 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 wanted to give a quick update I was not able to do the test last night as I did not get my 5th Wheel back from the shop (it has the Samsung and server in it) I should be getting it back from the shop today or tomorrow depending on the work that needs to be completed as soon as I get it parked back here I will post the test results.
mbnwa 49 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Sorry for the delay on responding - Here is what I found out: A ) No the Samsung will not play DRM based files B ) Yes it looks like we can see that a file has DRM in Media Browser under Media Info the level on the video area is set to -99 for all my DRM files C ) It also looks like we can see the files are DRM with FFProbe -i Screen shots are below - So this is my thinking if you can look at MediaBrowsers Media Info tables and look for the video level if it == -99 assume the file is DRM'ed if != -99 play the m4v file. That would be the quickest way to enable support for m4v files that are not DRM based I would think.

chessdragon136 677 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Afternoon All New interim version - v0.420 is now available.. Testing of this build has been limited and as such please expect errors... Log: Transcoding is now implemented in a basic form - if the file doesn't play natively it will transcode to h264 and attempt to play.. (No Subs support yet) (2010 TV's may not work / stuttery playback) M4V container support added if the file is not DRM - @@mbnwa Multitude of minor changes Thanks Edited May 18, 2014 by chessdragon136 2
mbnwa 49 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hmm tried to do an update no new version - deleted app and reinstalled still version 0.400d Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 Try again now - have refreshed and checked and is the correct version...
mbnwa 49 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Hmm still shows 0.400d Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 I don't think it is syncing to my server for some reason - Check the ip address is correct would be my best suggestion. Also do check that it hasn't installed this new version as a second app (been known to happen sometimes)
mbnwa 49 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Going to fully remove and re-setup from ip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
chessdragon136 677 Posted May 18, 2014 Author Posted May 18, 2014 Can anyone please confirm they have v0.420 installed successfully please?
radeon 755 Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) installing as v0.400 for me here too. looking at the zip, the <ver> tag in the config.xml still refers to v0.400 too if that helps? Edited May 18, 2014 by radeon
