[US][DVB-T][2011] UN55D6400 (No DVD SmartHub) [NOT SUPPORTED]

[reven]

bugger, not getting any logs from your device. the cloud logs are working fine on 2013 devices (have logs from another user)....

[johnsonx42]

joy. feels like no matter what you do you just can't win. that's not at all frustrating, is it?

Is there anything I could do locally to pull a log from the device?

[reven]

nah, the only log you could get is on screen (but the really best bits of the log will happen at first then get pushed off the screen). hopefully doddger can run the latest version and that uploads the logs.

beyond that, errr i really need to get a hold of a 2011 BR... I may see if someone with a 2010 has the same problem.

Hi Reven....I noticed on the Plex forums the Samsung app guys are phasing out 2010 support....

[reven]

Yeah my intention was to only support 2011 and up. But this 2011 bug is annoying me.

[reven]

just say this doc, http://www.samsungdforum.com/Devtools/Spec, 2010 doesnt support css3 or html5, so I wont be supporting 2010.

[reven]

done some more digging around this issue, managed to find the 2.5 emulator (2011 devices are 2.5) and in the emulator I have the same problem you guys are facing.

However, the 2011 aren't using a common browser, they're using a custom samsung one called "Maple", that doesn't support all javascript methods, even code samsung suggests to use doesn't run in that. So sorry guys looks like 2011 won't be supported either.

I tried taking out all the complicated stuff, and had a real small core set of code, and I still couldnt get anything running. The entire app is designed around angular, and if that doesnt run, then the app just wont run. I took that out as well, and the samsung sample code didnt run either.

But revennnnn, you said you'd support all the devices that run plex, and mine runs plex so it has to run nextpvr, it just has to.... make it work reven, make it work! now now now, or I won't be your friend!

Well, thanks for trying. I guess it's just as well you didn't win that 2011 bluray for $110.

reven, I had a look at that forum thread you linked, just out of curiousity. I may be way off, but I think what that second post is saying is that you shouldn't expect code written with a newer SDK (in that case 3.1) to work on the 2.5 SDK emulator. Rather, it's saying that you should use the current SDK, but "go to tools->preferences and then emulator tab" to select the year/version of device you want to test with. As far as I can tell SDK 4.1 is good for 2011/2012/2013 devices (not sure about 2010).

[reven]

the code I've written isnt really using much of any SDK. 90% of it is just plain old html, css and ordinary javascript.

the only sdk code is about 4 html elements which add "plugins" to the page (like silverlight or flash), and code that calls methods on these plugins (to get firmware version, and to play the video).

I tried removing all of these, the even removed the remote code (one I couldn't really remove, but I did) just to see if the menu would load, but nope. never did. theres just some basic javascript functions that arent supported, as the javascript engine doesnt support everything, which are used in libraries I use and by code samsung suggest using to get things working (eg the code to turn off the screensaver and deregister certain keys never gets called on 2011 devices).

like i said before, this is essentially a webapp/webpage. it would easily run in a webbrowser, all I would have to do is make an alternative remote class which listened to keyboard events instead. it wouldnt playback video of course, as thats a samsung plugin, but everything else would work.

plex must of wrote their app targeted for 2011 early on and extended support to later years as they came out.

I'm really disappointed I couldn't get it working on 2011 devices, people with 2011 TVs I feel as I let them down, but the javascript engine just isnt there, I would have to completely rewrite all the javascript of my plugin to get it to work on 2011 devices (70% of the program is javascript, the rest is html and css).

I wish they updated the firmware of those devices to have a better javascript engine (they used a different one on 2012 devices and a different one again on 2013 devices (v8 on 2013 which is the same one as chrome uses)), but since they havent done this yet, I don't think they will.
