E2Stream v1.2

Posted on4 Comments

E2Stream v1.2 is now available

This release resolves the full screen (SD channel) issue finally!

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.

I’ve uploaded a new version of E2Stream today. The actual SMART TV app remains the same, however I’ve updated the installer to allow for synchronisation of other downloadable Smart TV apps.

If you have a bunch of other Samsung SMART TV apps, simply do the following

  1. Create a new directory on your pc
  2. Copy the downloaded SMART TV app zip files to this directory
  3. Start the installer from the command line, issuing the following command:
    • e2stream-Install.cmd [path to directory]
  4. the command/shell window you should see open indicates the alternate directory detected.
  5. Follow the standard installation instructions that pop up in a browser window, or those from here

For example, assuming your create a directory on the C: drive root called “smartTvApps” the command would be:
e2stream-Install.cmd c:\smartTVApps

Or for those on non-windows machines
java -jar E2Stream-installer.jar /smartTVApps

Now, when you synchronise your TV, it will install e2stream first, and then subsequently install any apps located in the specified directory.  For those who have installed other ‘user’ apps, you should find this very useful to install e2stream and other apps simultaneously.

Please note – I can’t guarantee a successful installation of any additional packages as this is beyond my control.

My Next Project – Enigma2 Samsung SMART TV App

Posted on4 Comments

Update: You can download the latest release of this here from the landing page
here

So, on my drive to improve my home automation and connect my things together. My next great drive towards this is to connect my Enigma2 based satellite receiver to Samsung SMART TVs in other rooms of the house using streaming video over the LAN.

Much to my surprise, there wasn’t too much around that made this possible, so I’ve started putting something together myself and already have a working proof of concept.

This works using the enigma 2 apis and OpenWebIF. Will retrieve the bouquet list from the receiver and present this, and then will fetch the picon and epg entry for each channel as you browse the list. You can play the video in the small window or full screen.
