Hi all

Any news about H series? Is there anyone who make this plugin work with these models?

Just for your information. After recent updates "myTifi" iOS app can successfully control my Samsung TV UE 65H6400 including 3D button. Maybe this will help to further investigation somehow...

I tested this with my Samsung TV UE50H6470 but it will not work.

He is able to find my TV under the correct IP adress but then i get error message "connection failed":

Thanks for add on, Had to fiddle with key presses a bit but got it working on my UA55ES7100

I just upgraded my TV to a UA55JU7000 and have the same problem, Was working perfectly on my older TV

And now? No solution on this great feature? No one can fix this?

Have had no luck here, Maybe someone will get it working on the newer Samsung's

Maybe ask Samsung for details of their protocol. Why things like this have to remain hidden I do not know.

[HushPeter]

Does it work with kodi 16.1?

Your add-on give me a lot of hope to get my dream come true:
-When kodi goes into standby or disable monitor an add-on press the button combination to shut-off the samsung display.
-After x minutes after shutdown the display it shutdown the hole tv

I allways do that manually but it should wokr automaticly. Or?

Greetings by HushPeter

[nickr]

@HushPeter that should be doable with CEC.

[Zodler]

I have a UE55HU7500 and unfortunately this doesn't work on it.

[junias]

With my UE48JS9090 the Connection always failed, too
Would love to see its working again

[nickr]

Ask Samsung how their protocol works.

Thanks for this service plugin - it wasn't something I knew I even wanted till I happened to stumble upon it while browsing the forum for something else.

It works perfectly for my Samsung UE40ES6300 and eliminates the (admittedly minor) steps of hunting out the Samsung TV section of my Logitech Harmony remote setup and clicking through the Samsung on-screen prompts to get the infobox out of the way, each time.

Every little extra convenience helps <--- Smilie wearing 3D glasses, obviously
