Network file sharing (samba) enable on E version
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2012 10:56 am
Hi All,
Last two days I have been reading this forum back and forth but I did not really find an straight forward answer for my problem:
I just bought UE40ES5500 tv, upgraded firmware on first start. Now As I have some issues/limitations with AllShare and DLNA software for Win7 (serviio), I would LOVE to play network files in just the same way as from my USB HDD. My USB HDD is actually the only way to play files from HDD that works perfect for me, without any problems so far.
I am now also considering buying NAS (Dlink DNS-320), which supports DLNA, but as I have read could have problems with streaming HD (.mkv) etc., I also expect some other issues/limitations just as with AllShare and Serviio. This is also why I would just love to let the NAS give the files to the TV "as they are" and let the TV play them itself (just like from USB).
I have seen some attempts here with some virtual USB share, but none for E serie. I have tried to patch the firmware to enable samba etc. to test further but without any success, exits with error. I do not know if this is even possible yet. Can anyone help me with this or just tell me if this is even possible yet?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
David.
