[ROOT] H "Network" root (FW<=Oct.2015, no T-GFS)

Any update on a fix for virtual USB on H? It still allows browsing samba server files, but crashes the TV when anything is played.

No, because WITHOUT usb it works superb

Once rooted, strongly avoid unplugging of rooting USB, especially when TV is ON.

Can I unplug USB when TV is OFF to post the files nsmod_*.sh, sam.log, vermagic.txt and patch.bat log?

Of course you can. That's the whole point

How can virtual USB work without USB? That does not make sense.

One of the main great things about SamyGo is virtual USB. Please fix it so all of us can use it without crashing the TV, not just some of us.

Use samba WITHOUT virtual usb it was explained on forum multiple times. Virtual Samba USB is ONLY for those for whom it works If it does NOT work do NOT use it

Aha! So I CAN still use Samba!

You have mentioned not using virtual USB to me before. I know English is not your first language, and it always seemed like you meant 'Use SamyGO BUT DO NOT use Virtual USB'.

I did search for 'samba without virtual' but I do not see how to do this. Please can you tell me how to use Samba without Virtual USB, or link to where this has been explained on the forums?

Simply mount to real USB instead of virtual by replacing MOUNT_PATH in samba script.

Code: Select all

DEST_DIR=$MOUNT_PATH/smb

Where $MOUNT_PATH is likely to be /dtv/usb/sdj for virtual, change it to path of an existing physical USB. e.g. /dtv/usb/sda1
Then you can even disable vusb script

Thanks zoelechat!

The two USB keys I have connected are the ones I used to root with the non-Skype method.

I think one contains some video file I recorded while rooting, and the other contains SamyGo. Does it matter which one I use for /dtv/usb/sda? I guess I can check which is which using df -k?

To disable vusb script can I just add .dis after the file name. Is it just one file, and what is it called please?

It doesn't matter, it will just be "the one you have to browse" to find your shares. Just be sure the device is always given the right path on TV bootup (matter of device detection order). Otherwise use some trick to detect the right (variable) MOUNT_PATH.

Yes

Code: Select all

/mnt/etc/init.d/02_04_vusb.init.dis
