Can you please explain how /dtv/usb/usblog works on F series? I have NFS mount and I don't know how to tell TV to look on it. Writing data as you have above didn't do the trick for me.

use SamyGO Extensions and enable NFS init script. No need to mess with usblog file at all.

I take it as it's not possible on F series and virtual usb need to be used.
BTW. Where I can download SamyGO Extensions for F series?

for me samba mounting doesn't work.
it doesn't see any file at all from the mount.
does the file sistem of the network mounted drive have to be FAT? mine are all NTFS.

I have virtual usb/samba on F series working in my home net. So in sources the virtual usb points to my network drive, where videos can be selected and played to / ober the tv. But: as a video is running a while, the sound gets asynchron, so I have to rewind a short while and then play, so that audio is again synchron.
Does for this behaviour exist a solution or a hint? Some buffer adjustments in some file perhaps or something similar?
