The region is set to USA, what should i set it to??

Anything else than you would actually CHANGE it if you set it from USA to USA that's (by definition) not a change

ok so should i change it to something other than USA?? if so, why does it need to b changed

Because that's the ONLY way to reinstall Skype

I am trying this on an T-GFP9AKUC

I know this might not work on this model but still I get this error which is strange since I did copy all files. It looks like skype/AutoStart is not there. Where is the option to add skype to AutoStart? It looks like it starts automatically anyway.

Thank you for your reply. I did start Skype quite a few times now and still there is no AutoStart file created. Any idea why? Should I post my skype version and firmware version?

Thank you

Update for non MST

all GFS/GFP users (NON MST), please try new updated samyext4.img

Just keep in mind: after you install rooting widget and run it, do not power off TV, but set sheduled power on via EPG timer. Wait for TV start and check ssh on port 22...

If you really, really want to check edit file Main.js on usb and change this:

Code: Select all

exists(skypePath + "/runSamyGO.sh");

to this:

Code: Select all

currentStep += exists(skypePath + "/runSamyGO.sh");

Edit ONLY wiht notepad++

Thank you. My issue is that the script does not even run. It does not get to the point where it even copies the .so and autostart file. It just stops because there is no autostart under the skype path.
