Does HW acceleration already works? And what about sound? From what I quickly saw they don't. Which is kind a useless for mediacenter...

Yeah if you browse the forums you can see how they enabled things

I don't think you guys totally understand either lol

My TV already runs Linux, and I just found out that I can actually install Ubuntu, or ANY disto I choose, as long as it's arm64.

If this is "just enough Linux" then this project will be immensely more optimized in a space and hardware constraint environment than any standard Linux disto.

So all I gotta do, like I even mentioned before:

1.) Get my TV Downgraded
2.) Get my TV Rooted
3.) Use the link in my last post to install Linux
4.) Use LibreELEC as my distro
5.) Start using Kodi

If you guys really read, it says I'll stop asking till I get my TV rooted or if we figure out how to make a package for my TV, which can't happen until I root my TV anyways.

I'll let you guys know when I get my TV rooted.

There's a website called SammyGO and that's where I learned about rooting my TV.

When I'm rooted, I can use things like apt-get and SSH and SFTP and access the file system.

But the problem is that I don't remember how to convert Debian packages into TV apps or how they were able to make homebrew apps.

Don't worry about me and my technology. I will test anything you guys come up with!

I just wanna focus on testing things and trying things. I understand the risks, otherwise I wouldn't have asked silly!

Hey check this out!!!!
Installing Ubuntu in Samsung Smart TV natively - SamyGO

So from this page: Compile - LibreELEC

It says that I need these requirements:

We recommend at least 60GB of disk space as whilst you can possibly use as little as 20GB you will find yourself constantly freeing up space from previous builds.

There's no specific package requirements but I just realized: I can't uninstall or dual boot my TV, otherwise it won't work and I could break it.

I guess I just need to figure out how to build Samsung Apps then convert/compile Kodi into one.

Hello,

Anyone is using IR blaster for control (volume, input and power) the TV?

I have a MCE USB IR blaster, I want configure it to send commands to my TV to volume up/down and power on/off.

I have a lircd.conf with my TV remote keys. I want to map my LE remote volume keys for send IR commands to IR blaster.

Someone could help me?

Best regards.

What TV do you have so we can look up the IR codes?

How can I help?

Where are you so far?

How little is just enough Linux?

What karnal does it need, what dependencies does it need, what packages does it need?

I'll reply back in a few days when I get my TV rooted again and I'll let you know what Linux I'm working with.

I heard the TV's got rooted.

Anyone figure out how to get Kodi or LibreELEC up and running on these devices that run a Linux kernel as well?

I've rooted my TV once, but the community was soooo toxic and only cared about profit and not actually creating new roots or fixing old ones.

I did happen to capture the root methods I used, let's talk Kodi on Rooted Samsung Smart TV's!
