SamyGO Extensions [v0.03.6]

Does the SHARES variable in 03_03_nfsmount.init has any effect? I have a lot of shares but only want to mount some of them on the TV.

the variable will be filled up by showmount in function get_shares()
so you can make tweaks in get_shares().

Are you sure?

Code: Select all

get_shares()
{
	echo -n "Search Shares on: "
	for i in $SERVERS ; do
		S_MOUNTS=$(showmount --no-headers -e $i | cut -d " " -f1)	
	[ -n "$S_MOUNTS" ] && do_mount $i
	done
}

I think i takes with showmount the exports of $SERVERS and mounts them (all). But i can go in there and if $SHARES isn't empty take only these shares - similar to get_servers() with $SERVERS.

sorry, just read what you like to do .
the SHARES are just an artifact from debugging version, but you can set SHARES="myshare1 myshare2"
and than replace

Code: Select all

S_MOUNTS=$(showmount --no-headers -e $i | cut -d " " -f1)

with

Code: Select all

S_MOUNTS=$SHARES

(think this i did too on debugging )
or you add some grep stuff

but be shure you just try to mount from server where the share realy are, elsewhere the script needs too long to run (set SERVER to correct ip).

Code: Select all

# scp /mtd_tlib/GGame/SamyGO/etc/init.d/03_03_nfsmount.init kilroy@kilroy:/tmp
/usr/bin/dbclient: No such file or directory
lost connection

Any hints?

scp isn't implementet at this time.

hi,

to better understand the problematic, we use all the same client software with same version.
so the difference must be on server side or in samsung firmware.
(some links german/english):
TVersity:

read somewhere (can't find the link again) that samsung dropped some mkv formats in newer firmwares, so you can test (if you like) general support
for your mkv file -> copy the file to usb and try to play direct.
in some cases it help if you rename the mkv file to avi

general reencoding of mkv:

support questions for twonky will be silently dropped due fact that in google cache

there is a post by djreastman on Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:08 pm about SamyGO but it looks the message was deleted my admin of the forum

the only known bugs:

• files around/over 18GB (playable over usb and over samsung share-manager but not with djmount), i think this is in nature of the thing, samsung share-manager submit extra information to tv about codec and filesize and from (real)usb there is no timeout if you seek in a big file.
• if your media server submits any kind of DLNA information some files are invisible/unplayable

Can I offer some feedback on these very useful tools?

Like one or two earlier posters, I could not get the Samba Server to start correctly. After following the suggested steps to stop and restart in verbose mode, I could see a time-out message. I stopped the PC firewall and restarted and this time it picked up the shares. The firewall logs showed the Netbios ports had been blocked by default (as were the SSDP ones when I first tried DLNA). This might be worth checking by anyone who has a similar problem and is using file sharing on a Windows PC for the first time.

While the UPnP popup message appears on the screen within 10 seconds, the Samba Server one can appear after several minutes, long after the "Game" has finished. During that time, I have no SSH access either, as I guess that script has to wait for the samba one to finish. Is it possible to run these scripts in background, so they don't have to queue, or would that cause them to stop when the terminal is closed?

Since the server still starts after exiting from Contents, do we really need the long time-out? I couldn't see where to change this to try it.

for shure!!!
i like to wait the next weeks, and i monitor the forums for feedbacks, to make the stuff better.

some of the scripts depends on others, so if you start them all in background you will get other troubles (your shares are
mounted, but not accessible from media.p)

the "magic" for the start sequence is in the last loop in SamyGO/etc/rc.sysinit

if you need a shorter timeout you can replace your SamyGOE.so with the version from v0.02
