Gadget & Virtual USB stuck on 'Loading...' when I try to play video
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2016 8:14 am
Usually around 30 seconds after turning on my UE32H5500 it prompts me that it has found media, and it would like me to select whether to view all, or video, pictures etc., this is my HDD connected to my router shared using Samba. Last night when I turned the TV on this did not happen. I then went into Smart Hub, to where it shows any USB media, and when working 'File-CD Gadget', but this was missing. I tried turning the TV off a few times, and cold rebooting it from several minutes, but still it never gave me the usual prompt after 30 seconds, and Gadget is not visible in Smart hub.
Strangely, when I go into Smart Hub it shows me this screen:

The progress bar never completes, and if I select > and then < to go back, the apps I have sideloaded disappear. If I try to select the sideloaded apps from the favourites menu, the dock along the bottom of the screen when not in Smart Hub, it prompts me to install BBC iPlayer!
I tried cold rebooting the TV but this time with the 2 USB keys I used to root the TV disconnected - I am then able to access the sideloaded apps like BBC iPlayer (without being prompted to reinstall!), but still there is no working Gadget, and if I reconnect the USB keys and reboot the same things happen again.
1. How can I fix Gadget and this strange behaviour of Smart Hub please?
2. Am I correct I should have the 2 USB keys connected to the TV at all times? This is what I used during the root process.
