Engima 2 - Samsung SMART TV Streaming app

[pembo]

I'm finally at the point now where I can release a preview of the beta of the DreamStream app for Samsung SMART TVs in a limited manner.

If you're interested, you can find some information here

Unfortunately right now, I can't make this publicly available until I organise a dedicated server to distribute this.

If anyone is interested in trying this and providing feedback, please let me know either via the website or via a message here. I'll then grant you a limited time access to synchronise this to your TV for testing.

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.

You can find more information and download this from here:

Looks very cool thanks Pembo. Can we view recordings also?

Congratulations Pembo, how do you send the app to the TV or is it available to download straight from Samsung hub?

Not yet, but this is something I will add in as it shoud be reasonably straight forward!

It's not in the app store yet, there is no obvious way of submitting.
You need to enable the 'develop' account on your TV and then sync the app as a 'user' app onto your TV.

You can find the install instructions here:

Cool. Any plans to open source it? I could help out.

Almost certainly... there's no real way of 'monetising' with the European Samsung TV app store anyway and I've built this for my own use initially.
The code is a bit (read quite a lot) hacky right now!

There's no compiled app as such anyway, and therefore in actual fact all the code is shipped, you just need to know how to get it out, but as with everything else I've built in recent years, I'll set up a google code project for it at some point soon and check the code into there. There's a few manual steps to refine first to make the dev/build process easier.

Sounds good. I'll take a look. Currently I use a Raspberry Pi for watching recordings from downstairs. This app could remove that dependency for me.

Just got it installed and it works great with my Duo2. Thanks Pembo. I'll be donating.

I had a look inside the package and mostly just found Java class files. What language did you write the app code in?

[pembo]

it's all in javascript pretty much using Samsung smart tv apis, but the app is packaged up to make distribution / installation more straight forward. The installer is wholly java.

[finbarr]

Gotcha. I'll take a look at it more during the week and see if I can help add recordings playback. Thanks again.

amazing work

would be amazing if you could develop an app for some hdmi stick, then your market would not be limited by just samsung tv's

I have this installed on a Samsung Blu-Ray player but I'm afraid I can't get it to stream

It's connecting to my LX3 and Duo but when I hit ok it throws a network error.. I assume that the streaming ports on both receivers are 8001 as I haven't changed this? I'm not sure where to check this?

[edevs]

is this just limited to samsung smart tvs or can it be used on normal samsung tvs?
