It does for me, trouble is my mother has a Cseries which doesn't

[fastjoy77]

then you work on ES8000?

[knightz124]

then you work on ES8000?

You have to use the "H" fw T-GFP (with Skype_2014_140807, GOLFP_4.400_empSkype_VER_4.140426 and GOLFP_4.400_empCamera_VER_4.150303) ---- PAGE 23-----, when using the sek2000 - but just to note the solution for sek2000 is not officially supported by this forum it is just a very lucky side affect, so still big thanks to all

Hi,
I know that this is the section for H-series but I'm so disappointed about skype app removal from smart hub and I'm looking for weeks now for a working solution to get it back I have a UE40D6500 with firmware 1013, I have access with ftp to file level but all tests to reinstall skype with files supported here failed. Skype app is available in smart hub and I can start it but its loading and loading and nothing else.
So my important question is if somebody here can confirm that skype is still working on a Samsung TV with login and video call as it was?
Second question is why is my skype app hanging on loading and not starting?
Does somebody a solution for D serie or my model?

Any help is highly appreciated! I tried already to get support in the d-serie topic but without any answer.

Kind regards
Roland

Very interesting topic and guys made great work! Need to have kinda backup of files listed there. @mihd is this allowed?

Actually not needed - Maybe you missed (the bit hidden) internal discussion and the files here on internal forum...
https://forum.samygo.tv/viewtopic.php?f ... 190#p91329
And some pages back for more details...

And it sounds like sectroyer is also doing "something" here...

Interesting, I'm registered with the forum but it tells me I'm not authorized to read this forum when I click on that link.

It's internal. Mostly for developers and testers.

Probably a silly question, but skype app can be re-installed on a non-rooted Samy TV ?

among the available versions :

Skype for TV with fw T-GFP (with Skype_2014_140807, GOLFP_4.400_empSkype_VER_4.140426 and GOLFP_4.400_empCamera_VER_4.150303)
Skype for TV with fw T-MST14,T-GFS (with Skype_2014_140807, GOLFS_X14_4.400_empSkype_VER_4.140408 and GOLFS_NT14U_X14_4.400_empCamera_VER_4.150303)
Skype for TV with fw T-NT14U (with Skype_2014_140807, NT14U_4.400_empSkype_VER_4.140523 and GOLFS_NT14U_X14_4.400_empCamera_VER_4.150303)

which one best suits for HU8200-series?
Thanks much.

skype app CAN be re-installed on a NON-ROOTED TV.
Find out your firmware (Menu->Support->Contact Samsung) and select the desired version.

I think firmware is T-GFP8, so probably T-GFP version
