Combining Hospitality hack with normal SamyGO

[Spoza]

Maybe stupid question because I don't know about the SamyGO internals... is it possible to combine Hospitality hack with "normal" SamyGO?

The reason I'm asking is that I would like to have FTP access even when the TV is off (which is not possible via the "normal" hack, but should be possible via Hospitality mode, right?) AND still have the possibility to record unencrypted recordings (which is possible via the "normal" hack, but not (yet) possible with Hospitality mode).

And one important question - is Hospitality hack working/available on Mstar models? There is still no clear and explicit information regarding Mstar, although I'm pretty sure that SamyGO devs have the info

[juusso]

yes. possible. If you gona be tester...
But not in these three days...

[Spoza]

Yes, I'd like to test it... if it's safe enough ;-\... I don't have Ex-link cable (no easy access to USB/TTL adapter)...
Has the Hospitality hack been tested on Mstar models already? Or would I be the guinea pig here?

[juusso]

yes, it have been tested.

[Spoza]

Okay, so if it's safe enough, here I am, ready for testing... any special instructions for Mstar, or shall I follow exactly the same steps as for ARM?

And actually, if it's known that Hospitality hack WILL work together with the widget (in particular the unencrypted recording), then I do not quite understand the note "Limitation - no patches like BigYellow fonts, CHannelInfo and other available this way.".
I thought that the unencrypted recording is such a "patch", so how comes that it will work?

For your attention: hospitality hack was created because of limitations of recent firmwares. This method allows just execute bash script with TV start and for sure works on older firmwares where "usual" SamyGO works too. But the limitation -it is possible to call just bash scripts- still persists and this way we cant load our patches, this requires widget way.
So don`t confuse yourself - for Mstar here is no patches at all (except drm). So thats why i said you it is compatible and can be used on D5500. Basically hack for mstars is pure Extensions wich is called as bash script.

Okay, I think we perhaps don't understand each other, so I'll try to summarize more verbosely...

- I understand the reason why the hospitality hack was created (i.e. inability to root recent firmwares using the 'standard' widget way)
- I understand that the hospitality hack itself does not enable the patches (big yellow fonts, DRM disable, channel info, etc.)
- I understand that the patches can be enabled only using the widget way
- I understand that the only patch available for Mstar (so far?) is DRM disable

What I am talking about here is the logical next step for those with older firmwares - COMBINING the hospitality hack AND the widget way...
The advantages of this combination (where the combination is possible) are obvious and I mentioned one case in the first post - ability to access the TV even if it's switched off (which is not possible if the widget way is used) AND all available patches working after the widget is started.

Can you confirm that all above is true (or correct what is not true)?
