Either way the reason why I said a mythtv frontend would be neat is because you can have a computer acting as a backend with your tuners and hard drives somewhere else and with a network connection you can use all that from any frontend machine on the network.
Otherwise devs will just be spread too thin. DRM exists to protect profit margins that keep companies in operation, which in turn pay tens of thousands of individuals thus fueling the economy, and giving funding to the next product line. I see mistakes all over this and every other site on the internet, and it has little affect on my understanding and day to day life. This is my last comment on this entry. They also have 2 USB ports. In the manual, they list the lgpl license for ffmpeg so you know samsung is using pretty standard multimedia software stacks.
Time for a new business model. I stand by my statement that more people are likely to buy their product if it could be modified.
That means more sales of units. If a company wants to nickel and dime us all to death with minor upgrades.. Not everyone can afford an all in one box that does everything…they have to buy things as they can afford them. Since you possess such a superior intellect, you probably can afford anything you want. The only reason I brought up only one of your mistakes was to point out that you too can be wrong..
If some one manages to hack in a new app that turns out to be popular then Samsung or any other manufacturer will be able to take the code and use it in their products. That saves the manufacturer development time and money.
It allows them to tap into more minds with a greater range of back grounds. That is the power of open source. A really killer app would be getting calibration equipment talking to the firmware making calibration faster and easier.
Go to local electronics store and rent some calibration gear go home, hook up, run calibration software on the laptop, take gear back to the store. Give me that any day. Is it possible to hack the firmware so that it can play movies from a USB stick, instead of just pictures and music? Can anyone tell me how to undo a firmware update. My motorized mount will not work with the new firmware update. Samsung has been no help. I need to go backward.
What about routing audio through custom number crunchers? Click YES. After that, turn on your TV again to apply your changes. Now you are done with the hack of the smart TV and should now be able to access all the relevant features on your Smart TV. The Terrarium TV app has more content with a cool and easy to navigate layout.
It is one of those secret features of your Samsung smart TV that very few people know. It has a secret menu that has a special technique to get access to according to the model of the TV. Here you will get several options to change settings like energy-saving mode, max volume limit, and source selection. The ambient mode of the Samsung smart TVs is one of the most artistic features. It displays works of art, family photos, and various other calming content while turned off to cheer you up.
You can add photos from your own photo gallery as well. Not only your phone or external mouse but also your Xbox or PS4 controllers can be substituted as the remote control of your TV. Turn on the Bluetooth of your controllers and connect to it. Changing a DNS server will allow you to unblock geo-restricted websites and will provide higher browsing speeds. You can search and download the Microsoft office app on your TV and easily create, edit, and share it on the big screen of your TV.
You can also stream your presentations at your office wirelessly. Just sync your presentation from the phone or laptop to the TV. Samsung smart TV has a special feature called Smart Security that scans for viruses to provide utmost security. If you ever face any setting problem, you can always reset your smart TV to factory settings that lie in the settings to start fresh. Now that you know about all these amazing hidden features Samsung TV provides, go make the best use of it!
Internet connected devices can have vulnerabilities in the weirdest of places, where you would expect them less. I also had no idea that my TV runs on linux and was even more than surprised to see that my vulnerabilities are exploitable.
This vulnerability is not exploitable remotely, however it convinced me that I was right to not connect my TV to the internet, and use its not so smart features. I am not really comfortable with the thought that someone can have control over my TV. I think there are way cooler things and more vulnerabilities that I could exploit on the TV set.
But it is not worth the heart pains I get when the device freezes, and I have to wait for a minute to see whether it was bricked or not. Because after all you watch television to relax and not to raise your blood pressure, except if you like to watch football. Load Comments 6. User Comments: 6.
