For example if I wanted to make such a thing I'd read up on sites like http://www.righto.com/2009/08/multi-protocol-infrared-remote-library.html to make a small Arduino to send the commands to turn on the TV, delay until the set is on then send the commands needed to play this.

Hello,
I'm new on this forum. I have a question about TV Samsung UE40H5000. I need start usb movie on timer. I know that this tv, has function autoplay USB picture or USB mp3, but it can't start USB movie on timer... I mention, that this film, which I need to start on timer, this is played on TV manually without eny problems, but on timer it can't start. (in OSD is only function for picture and mp3).
Do you know what I can to do with it? Maybe in service menu is possibility to unlock it?
I can buy another one tv with required function, but I don't know which one...
Thanks in advance!
