I saw a lot of posts regarding the SamyGO PVRDecoder (which can be found here) and decided to write a guide for those who might be having problems. Big shout out to LordByte for such an amazing tool.

Contents:
1. Preparation
2. Main
3. Troubleshooting

1. Preparation:
Before we begin, please make sure that your E or F series TV has been rooted. You can find the related guides here:

• E Series
• F Series

NOTE - If you are using the E series guide and method A (the Skype method), make sure to run Skype once after you install it before continuing on with the rest of the steps.

2. Main:
After you've rooted your TV, have your USB device (note that it must be 2GB or larger for the TV to accept it for recording/timeshifting) plugged into the TV (not the PC) with one or more recordings and start samyGOPVRDecoder.exe.

If you get a warning from your anti-virus software, please ensure that you add an exclusion, same applies to your firewall too:

SpoilerShow

Now, click on Settings and enter the IP address of your TV. You can find this by going onto Menu > Network Settings > Network Status using your remote control.

SpoilerShow

Alternatively, you can also use the Search for TV option and select the correct gateway if there is more than one:

SpoilerShow

Now you should have your TV's IP address:

SpoilerShow

Afterwards, click OK and then it should successfully detect your TV and the recordings. If you get the "Unable to connect FTP-server in TV. Please scan for USB-devices again." message, please refer to the Troubleshooting section below.

Have the paths for the TS files prepared, I changed mine to my H: drive because my C: drive is an SSD with limited space.

SpoilerShow

Now simply tick your desired recordings and click on Decode selected recordings and let SamyGO PVRDecoder do all the magic.

SpoilerShow

3. Troubleshooting:

SamyGO PVRDecoder says "Unable to connect FTP-server in TV. Please scan for USB-devices again". What's wrong?

There are several possible causes for this message:

• Make sure your TV has been rooted correctly. If you are using the Skype widget method, make sure you've actually run Skype once immediately after installing it (I made the mistake of not doing this the first time round which made it not work). To remove the SamyGO widget so you can try again, select the widget in the Smart Hub and press Tools > Delete on your remote. Afterwards, retry the root method. I personally haven't tried the developer account method so I cannot comment on that.
• Your firewall or antivirus is blocking SamyGO PVRDecoder. Ensure that you've added an exclusion or firewall rule to allow samyGOPVRDecoder.exe and netcat.exe. Refer to your anti-virus/firewall documentation to add it to the exclusions.
• Your TV hasn't established a connection to your router. When you start your TV, it doesn't immediately connect to your router until you access the Internet or Smart Hub. To do so, simply launch the Smart Hub and you should be able to connect by clicking on Scan for USB Devices.
• Your router is blocking the FTP or Telnet ports for your TV. Refer to your router documentation on how to port forward in order to allow communication with the TV. PortForward.com has great guides here for pretty much all router models:
  FTP Port Forward - Router List
  Telnet Port Forward - Router List
  When entering an IP address, make sure to use your TV's internal IP (this can be found using the method described in the Main section of this guide). Also, do not use the port checking tool, it checks your PC for open ports, not your TV. Confirm it's working by trying SamyGO PVRDecoder.

SamyGO PVRDecoder says "I am sorry, this tool cannot run from a path containing a [SPACE]...."
Just do what the message box says to do and move it to a folder without any spaces, eg:
C:\samyGOPVRDecoder

I see only one way .. You must copy BACK the files to the TV at the exact location you got them.
THEN you will be able to "ask" TV to calculate the needed key using the tool ... TV cannot calculate key from a file it cannot "see".
And even that may not really help you, if TV refuses to "discover" the "new" files .. They probally need to be registered in the TV?s "database-journal".
Try it .. worst thing that can happen is that it fails

Hello
when scanning the TV, it stays about 1 minute hang at the IP of the TV and then the scanner it all through to 255 ips.

when I enter the IP of hand in the field

14:30:49: Scanning for TV .. Please wait.
14:30:50: Querying recordings on TV ...

from time to time is always a window with a connection closed gracefully.

USB devies but are not found

I have a UE55es7080. rootet with samygo-e. ftp and telnet will connect properly.

Check firewall, grant full access to samyGOPVRDecoder.exe AND netcat.exe

[zela]

Check firewall, grant full access to samyGOPVRDecoder.exe AND netcat.exe

kaspersky is turned off and the service from the windows firewall is turned off.
