I've got one of these TV's and annoyingly I think it's great. I'm likely going to have to set up some routing/dns/proxy rules to defeat this.
Might even have some fun with it by sending it lots of channel changes, pen drive details and the rest.
- hellweaver666 13y agocould you get a small USB device (Rasberry Pi?) and set it up to show as a USB storage device and randomly generate file names while it's plugged in? That would flood their servers with dummy data :)
- hrrsn 13y agoIt would be easier just to write a script that makes repeated requests and running that since it's just HTTP anyway
- pritambaral 13y agoPerhaps the upper post imagines reverse engineering the HTTP API is too difficult. I'm sure his suggestion was the same in spirit/principle.
- andygates 13y agoIt would be far easier to set that Pi up as an XMBC instance with RaspBMC and treat the TV as a dumb output device.
- talmand 13y agoAnd I'm sure that you'll get a nice letter in the mail accusing you of breaking some sort of law that attempts to protect them from such shenanigans.
