Hey that HD encoding stripper works great! You can even watch "in progress" HD recordings as long as you don't skip too close to the end, i.e. present time.

I to have installed custom firmware and patched with HD encoding stripper. My Samsung smart TV works well and plays sd & hd .ts files. The issue is the samsung allshare player progress bar shows the file being ~11 minutes long when in fact it is 1 hour long. When the progress bar reaches the end (~ 11 minutes) the player stops.
To work around this I can, while the file is playing use the "search in time" function to search for a time beyond the ~11 minutes and the file will then play to the real end of the file while the progress bar sticks at ~ 11 minutes. This is not very convenient. I looking for suggestions.
Thanks
XBMC on a HTPC would be my solution. It'll make the "SMART" part of your TV - and pretty much every other regular media player - look like a child's toy in terms of what it can do for you as regards LAN and WAN streaming, customisability, controllability etc. There's almost nothing it won't play.
Although I think you're looking for an easier solution in the short term. For that I'd recommend remuxing the .TS files the HDR spits out as MKV files, using MKVmerge on Windows for example.
Yet another solution is updating the firmware on the TV. Go to manufacturer's website, enter model number in the right search box and you should be given instructions on how to check on the TV to see which version firmware you're running. Then you compare that to the most recent firmware version available on the website, and if it is newer you download that to a USB stick, (usually) unpack the file while it's on the USB stick, then put it in the USB of the TV and go through a few menus to update etc.
