Wanted: Multi-region Widgets on F-Series!

[lemonaed]

Hi, Is there any genius out there who can recreate the wonders of allowing multi-region widgets on an F-Series Samsung Smart TV? Currently this hack has only been possible with the E series. This involves having to install a program on a flash drive and loading it to the E-series TV, and then loading Skype, and using an FTP to transfer files. I have made a donation and would be grateful if some smartie out there could make this happen!

Many thanks!

We`re testing F series rooting and i think it will be possible to transfer custom widgets trough ftp.

I have the Danish smart hub as standard and followed this guide http://tinyurl.com/kb8qdqw from Step 5 and forward to get apps from the US and UK smart hub.

Hulu Plus, Padora Radio, BBC iplayer and 4 on demand works fine but i cannot get ITV player and Demand 5 to work. I only get a black screen when trying to start these two apps. They are not loading at all. I think something is missing? Perhaps it has something to do with Adobe Air? Anybody know how to get these two apps to work?

Hi. I thought that guide only worked with the E series? Did you get it to work on an F series?

Hi nigmc. Well done! Multi widgets for overseas players is my goal! I've read and re-read these instructions you so kindly provided links for, but I don't wondering how to get the Samygo widget from my PC to the TV via FTP! From the instructions above I have to login to developer account. I can do that. I can also enter my IP address. However on my PC I am using Cyberduck. Is this OK? what server or port should I be entering? This is where I get a little confused! I have downloaded the Samygo program and the data program, and have put both onto separate fat32 formatted usb flash drives. My problem at the moment is finding out how do i know if I have connected to the FTP program, and how to use this program to get the Samygo program to the right location on my pc so that i may sync it across to the tv? Any suggestions? Sorry if this has confused!

Excellent instructions bigmh13.

I got as far as updating the apps within develop mode in the tv, and I get a message on the TV saying "the following service will be auotmatically added Samy Go', but it justs hangs there and nothing happens until I exit. Any suggestions where I may be going wrong?

Thanks for all your help. I appreciate your patience!
