[App] libSambilight E/F/H (MST-only)

I used my nodemcu with WLED and it is working fine with the LED Stripe, and singleshot mode to test is working too. but it won't work when booting.
when looking in the sam.log on my usb stick i get the line
./etc/rc.sysinit: line 97: /mnt/etc/init.d/01_99_Sambilight.init: not found
what could be the problem?
The file is in the location and permissions are set via ssh.

Smells like bad text editor with non-unix linefeeds imho

This could ne possible. Used the editor to edit the file. Need to set notepad++ as standard text editor finally.

Will try it later when i'm home from work

Must be something wrong with my init file. If ic paste the command with inserted values in ssh ambilight is working fine with enabling and disabling via remote.
Need to find out whats wrong with my file or simply create a own init with just the needed values without the variables.

And it works using an NodeMCU with wled installed and the original serial input Pins.

so, how it work? Is needed enable serial link in service menu of my UE46ES6800? But my TV support serial link only via 3.5mm jack connector. Or it's not important? Will be functional:
- nodeMCU wired to LED Stripe and with 2 wire (GPIO TX and GND) to FTDI and FTDI connected via USB to my TV?

It should work without making any changes in service menu.

i don´t know, where I'm going wrong? My devices are nodeMCU with CH340 driver and FTDI USB convertor here:

i uploaded to my nodeMCU attached INO with changed LED nummbers...i using led type WS2812B, needs to be changed from default value WS2812 to my WS2812B?

here is my sketch with changed NUM_LEDS:

//##### SETTINGS ############

#define BAUDRATE 921600 // Serial port speed
#define NUM_LEDS 182 // Number of leds
#define BRIGHTNESS 255 // Maximum brightness

#define COLOR_ORDER GRB // Led color order
#define PIN_DATA 14 // Led data output pin
//#define PIN_CLOCK 12 // Led data clock pin (uncomment if you're using a 4-wire LED type)

after uploding get this end result:

Hi fromul!
I also had issues with WS2812B led type.
At the beginning everything was working perfect and after a few weeks only the first led was showing up in strange colours. After a lot of research I found out, that the first led was broken. After replacing the first led everything was working like it should. Maybe this helps you

Can you send the /dtv/Sambilight.log file?

[fromul]

i maked steps:
- I've copied libSambilight.so and libSambilight.config to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/libso
- I've copied 01_99_Sambilight.init to /mnt/etc/init.d/
- I've set file permissions with chmod

but i don´t have a Sambilight.log in /dtv/
...only libOscamE_T-MST.log

...Sambilight.log was created after manually testing (but with disconnected NodeMCU and FTDI):
