XBMC Plugin

[Larry-G]

I have had the exact same problems, There seem to be workarounds for some people but overall its just not a very stable plugin yet.

Personally I would have preferred Vu+ to have waited until they had a more stable, working plugin instead of releasing a beta just for bragging rites of being first.

Tried it nothing worked kept crashing - on VU+ Solo2. Pity.

It works fine for me on my solo2 but it is still a very buggy beta release from Vu+ and they could have done a lot better as this first impression i am sure will turn a lot of users away from using it again.

So I got my mkvs to work from my nas by mounting in vix first then adding them in the plugin via root file system, and I realised I had totally wasted my time... The reason I don't use my vu boxes for Mkv playback is they stretch letterbox films to full screen totally ruining the aspect ratio, really VU, you should have fixed that bug before you tried to rape what is a very good media player.

Hi,
for me it works quite stable. Vu did not release anything. It was an image team who got some beta images from VU. XBMC was hidden in the git so don´t blame VU. I think it is still not in the images on code.vuplus.com.

Well the beta team need to get a driver from Vu that can correctly playback 1920x800 then.

For anyone wanting a quick fix for commands missing from the vu remote in xbmc download Yaste for your phone or tablet and use that when using xbmc.

I use Xbmc on my Android box, Minix Neo X8h and on raspberry pi and Windows and have been having a play on my Duo2 today
Getting the same no sound on some streams that others have reported .
Installed Istream but some of the dependicies are not met and some stuff not appearing that are on my other versions.
CartoonHD works great (both)

For a Beta its great but if you really want XBMC/Kodi for reasons most people do then I would go for a dedicated box.

I use very few plugins on my DUO2 and Solo2, I just watch tv lol but get very few crashes by just using it for the main thing it is built for.

Not just for most reasons, how about just watching movies with the correct aspect ratio... A basic requirement for a media player really.

Got it working on solo 2 with my nas and can now play movies and mp3. However when playing mp3 can't find a way to stop and get back to menu. pressing stop causes menu to flash up but it immediately moves on to next track. Anyone got any suggestions

I disabled auto play next song in XMBC setup to get passed this issue.

As it is beta, this i9n one of the issues i also noticed
Think its due to the fact xmbc uses e2 player instead of internal DVD player of xmbc and conflicts with settings somehow

has any one managed to find the iptv simple client.

VU+ solo2 running latest Vix

Has Kodi been removed from plugins? It was there at 12 o'clock today (7 March 2015) and now it's disappeared

Now when I go to download plugins/extensions - it's not even listed?

The message that comes up is "Some plugins are not available: Extensions/KodiDirect('skinres')


Also, is there an a list / explanation as to what each of the extension do? Can someone point me to where I'd find that please. I installed XMBC last week only to find it crashed it. Thanks.

[Larry-G]

No it has not been removed from the plugins, but for you to get that error suggests you have tried to uninstall something which may have corrupted the plugin and as the receiver still detects it as being installed you wont see it in the downloads. as for the official XBMC plugin from Vu+, that is still a beta and closed source so nothing much we can do about it really.

That said I do have XBMC installed on my Solo2 with ViX and it works fine for me, no crashes.

Thanks Phoenix, Because of what you said I've backtracked and I've reverted to the previous software backup image, and now Kodi is back.

I think I know what I did to cause it. I tried to install a plugin within Kodi, that looked interesting. Kodi/Get more...IPTV / mystreamTV (I think it was that one)

It downloaded a software update and I installed it - after which MystreamTV never appeared and Kodi disappeared. I thought I'd post that in case anyone else gets curious about the MystreamTV extension.

Phoenix do you know if there is there a list anywhere explaining what all the extensions are and what they do? Curiosity sometimes gets the better of me so having a list of what they all do and if they are of any use would be a great resource.
