Strange, should work on must tv's. We need feedback from other F6400 owners.
I give u full model name of my tv :
UA40F6400ARXZN
FW ver:2124.1

BTW
I update debian from 6.0.7 to 6.0.10 and all preinstalled program in chrooted debian but it doesn't help.
 
How did you updated?

1.Enter in Chroot:

chroot /mnt/sda#/debian /bin/bash

# - enter your mountpoint number

2. Check current version:

cat /etc/debian_version

6.0.7

Version 6.0 code name is squeeze


3. Install netselect-apt in chroot debian by command:

Code:
# apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install netselect-apt

For find fastest debian mirror and generate new sources.list

4. Run netselect-apt

Code:
# netselect-apt squeeze

5. You get new generated sources.list in root of debian folder

6. Open sources.list and uncomment source for security updates

7. Copy and replace this file with old one

8. Last run:

Code:
apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

command
cat /etc/debian_version
show you 6.0.10 version

If you can't update/upgrade in first time ( before install netselect-apt ) please edit your current sources.list file and comment second string.

I went a little further :)

I've been trying to upgrade my debian version too, but when I get to

Code:
# netselect-apt squeeze

I get this error:

and this repeats a couple of times.

This is the text in my sources.list:

Code:

deb [url]http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/[/url] stable


What could be causing this and how do I correct this?

This is wget error, busybox is better
Code:
unlink /usr/bin/wget
ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/wget

Ok, that fixed that part, but the next steps doesn't result in an updated debian.

Step 7 of White Knight is a bit confusing to be honest. Which source list is use for step 8?

This is my output on step 8:

Code:
root@RT-AC66U:/# apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
E: Malformed line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)

Do I have to start over or completely remove debian and install again?

On step 7 i ask to replace your default source.list with new one ( you get in Step 4 ) ( Before replace Do not forget edit new generated source file and UNComment sources with security updates ) and after replace this file ( you can create back up old one ) You can run update/upgrade:

Code:
 apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

System automatically updated your apps and install security updates for your version of debian.

Code:

You do not need to completely remove debian.

BTW: 
I have N66U with debian version 6.0.10 ( squeeze )

Note For others who read this topic:
 Check your debian version before create something if you make mistake in Step 4 you got errors when update/upgrade procedure.
 
Ok. Thx for the help. I got it to version 6.0.10.

Did the same steps for 7.6, but that doesn't seem to work for me yet. I'll try that another time.

Thx again.
 
Can you guys fast forward and rewind with your tv remote? I have a LG 32LS570S and it says that I can't fast forward and rewind, just "jump" a few minutes back/forward. :confused:
I wonder if this depends on the server, on the tv, on the video format. :confused:

Sorry, I still can't solve this. Any help?:eek:
 
I don't think ff/rew is possible with any streaming media server. I managed to root my Samsung tv, created a share folder and I was able to ff/rew.

Do you mean you created a shared folder you accessed with samba and not DLNA?
 
Good day TeHashX,

i have small issue with my TV or miniDLNA work ( i don't know )

For example i connected Flash Drive with some video files, and when i look at file list on TV i see icons with generated video art
If i list files from miniDLNA i see standart video icons ( set by default ) not automaticaly generated from my video file when miniDLNA scans files.

I look into opt/minidlna/art_cache and see all of my video art here.

My TV Model Samsung F6400 as you know from my past post in this topic.

Samsung F series requires tweaks to the code. This is my solution.
