I’m pleased to officially release E2Stream (v1.1)
The Samsung SMART TV app to stream your enigma 2 based set top box to your SMART TV.
This release is now fully downloadable and comes with it’s own installer to allow you to install this to your Samsung SMART TV without having to connect to a hosted instance of the sync server.
There are still a few known issues with this so bear with me, a couple of the major/obvious ones being:
- Non HD channels show in 4:3.
I did implement a fix for this, however it caused some other issues which I’m still investigating. The Samsung video player is a little ‘suspect’ and I’m working on an alternative approach. - Full Screen.
Shows the return button to go back however, this currently only the ‘Enter’ button works.
Please note, the installation and setup still isn’t the most user friendly process as it requires you to enable a ‘develop’ account on your TV. Instructions to setup can be found here
Note – the installer requires Java v7 or v8 to run.
You can download this here: [download#26#nohits]
For any bugs, please create a new issue here
If you do use E2Stream, please consider donating an amount of your choice to support the continued development and hosting costs of this app!
You can donate any amount you feel is applicable here:
thanks thanks and thanks for this great job
Thanks for building this. Before I try to install :
Can it view recordings from the e2 box?
Not at the moment, but this is something I’ll try to add as it should be straight forward to do!
Hi pembo,
great work. Thanks.
pros
easy installation
lovely userinterface
cons
plugin needs around 3 minutes to start
artefacts when playing HD streams (perhaps my network connection?)
samyGo was deleted (perhaps a samsung-hub issue…)
ArneK – thank you for the feedback. Really appreciated.
It does sound like it might possibly network issues. It starts up on my TV pretty quickly – it just reaches out to the enigma2 box and downloads the bouquets list on startup once it has been configured.
When playing a HD stream, I also get very few issues. It takes around 5-10 seconds to get fully going with the stream without any buffering, but obviously if you’ve got a lot going on over your network, this could be why.
(I’m running hi speed 5GHz Wifi and Gigabit lan between the 2 Samsung smart TVs I have and the router/enigma2 box.)
In terms of it losing samyGo – I think if you synchronise to more than one server it deletes the apps from other servers.
What I’ll do here is add an option into the installer to allow you to ‘include’ other downloaded apps so you can synchronise them through the same installer. This may take a few days to be implemented though so bear with me. I’ll raise this as a ‘bug’ even though its a feature of the TV as I can do something to help here.
I’ve implemented this – I just need to test and package it up.
The way I’ve done this is as follows
I’ll hopefully get this out tomorrow or Tuesday.
updated the installer to allow for installation of other apps.

This should fix your samyGo problem.
Hi,
just checked it out and installed the actual version.
Installation of SamyGo stucks:
“Der folgende Dienst wird automatisch installiert (2/2) SamyGo”
I aborted it after 10 minutes :-((
Any ideas?
Plugin still needs 3 minutes to start. Checked my network connection. Seems to be OK. (Filetransfer 11 MBytes/second).
I will start tcpdump on my vu+ box.

Hi pembo,
i have just sniffered on my stb.
When starting your plugin, there is NO trafiic between the TV-set and the stb for roundabout three minutes.
Then the communication begins.
So I dont think, the slow start ist a network issue.
Thanks anyway. Your plugin helps a lot.
My setup: UE32ES6200 and vu+Solo2 with VTI 7.1
Let me know, if i can test something for you or if you need further information.

Hmmm – let me think about this for a while.
It’s a bit odd that there’s no traffic. I wonder if there is an initial timeout going on somewhere that’s causing the issue.
I have installed the new version but still channels showing at 4:3 and not full screen. Also how did you get the picons to work
I think there’s an issue with the player and the newer based Samsung TV models. I’m working on this.
Hi, do you plan to offer your ap to D-Series Samsung or should I think about to change TV ?? Best Regards from Germany and BIG THANKS for amazing job.
