Turns out that the engineers at Samsung left the support for 288p half broken. The hardware still supports it, but the software wasn't completed.
This means that a 720x288p signal over HDMI is reported as not supported by the TV, while 1440x288p works, but with the wrong overscan parameters. This mod fixes both. The only downside of this mod is that it replaces 288i, a resolution found only in some very low quality DTV channels.
Only for C series! Won't work on other models.
It has been tested on T-VALDEUC-3018.1 only. Please let me know if you have problems on older firmwares.
On C series $SYSROOT is usually /dtv/usb/sda/SamyGO
Usage:
- Install latest SamyGOso from here:
- Copy samyGOso file to $SYSROOT/opt/privateer/usr/bin
- Set permissions (not needed on C series since $SYSROOT is on USB):
Code: Select all
chmod +x $SYSROOT/opt/privateer/usr/bin/samyGOso
- Extract attached archive and copy lib288pSupport.so to $SYSROOT/opt/privateer/usr/libso
- Test it to see if everything is working:
Code: Select all
samyGOso -r -d -A -B -l $SYSROOT/opt/privateer/usr/libso/lib288pSupport.so
- Make it permanent by copying 01_99_288p_support.init to $SYSROOT/etc/init.d
- Set permissions (again not needed on C series):
Code: Select all
chmod +x $SYSROOT/etc/init.d/01_99_288p_support.init
- Set permissions (again not needed on C series):
