I've had these "ext3" messages too when i inserted an ext3 formatted stick, but it wasn't mounted automatically and mounting "by hand" also doesn't work for me...

yes ext3 will be ignored by exeDSP, so you have to clear /dtv/usb/log and fake a new entry but with FileSystem: vfat !!!

ps: didn't tested access just up to notify window.

Are you sure that samy does not support ext3? My LExx650 can handle it but not automatically:

# cat /proc/filesystems | grep ext
ext3
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
# cd /mnt/
# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 0 4096 Dec 15 2009 ext3_works
drwx------ 2 root 0 16384 Dec 15 2009 lost+found

and with following dmesg messages:

<6>kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
<6>EXT3 FS on sdb1, internal journal
<6>EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

so the only problem to fully support ext3 is to automount it.

If anyone knows how to convince samy to autodetect ext3 - please share your knowledge.

Autodetection would be very useful if we plan in future mounting disk with encrypted content(truecrypt?) to provide password somewhere inside samy

It's really boring and stupid thing.
Is it takes too much to rewrite that exeDSP application?
We have all the Chip infos( haven't we? ) and openSource community for free players like ffmpeg, vlc, mpayer...

I think switching channels via program and interpreting remote control signals are not too hard to implement.
Yes there is a multiple devices and multiple HW's. But if we make it for B650, than its easy to port that thing to others.
That give us ultimate remote controlling of TV and add VCR capability via capturing raw MPEG2-4 signals...

Where we can start?
