How To Setup XBMC To Stream Live Tv And Recording From An Enigma2 Box...

pac2000 · Jan 7, 2014

First Of All Download And Install XBMC Frodo
Then Run It And Goto System, Then Settings

Then Select Add-ons

Then Select Disabled Add-ons

Then Select PVR Clients

Then Select Vu+ / Enigma Client

Make Sure You Select Enable And Then Click Configure

In The Generals Tab, Insert Your Enigma2 Box IP Address

In The Channels Tab, Select A Local Folder For The EPG/Recordings Data (You May Want To Create This Folder First)
If Your Enigma2 Box Has Only 1 Tuner, Select 'Zap Before Channel Switch'

In The Advanced Tab, Input Your Username (Default : root) And Your Password (Default : dreambox)
And Your Recording Folder On The Box (Default : \media\hdd\movie)

That's The Add-on Configured

Go Back To The Home Screen And Select System And Settings Again

Then Select Live TV

In The General Tab, Make Sure You Select Enable

Then In The EPG Tab, Select How Many Days You Want To Store
Select Several Days So That You Don't Have To Wait A Long Time Every Time You Start XBMC Up

Quit XBMC, And Restart... You'll Notice It Starts Importing EPG Data, And Live TV Is Now Available

It'll Take Some Time The First Time, About 20 Minutes
And Here It Is Working

Next Time You Start The XBMC, It'll Pull The EPG From The Local Folder
Then Update The Channels/Recordings
This Takes Only A Matter Of Seconds
You Can Then Use It The Stream Live TV/Recordings

Although It Will Re-Import The EPG In The Background Which Will Take About 20 Minutes Again

Enjoy...

Thanks for this, I had never considered it. If it's fast enough and easy enough to use, it would make a decent set up for a second room!

How do you download it to an enigma Stb ?

lfcjim82 · Jan 7, 2014

I previously tried this about a month ago using my Apple Tv with the Vu PVR installed, but when it came to watching everything it lagged continously leaving nothing watchable. That was streaming via Homeplugs from ATV to router, and ethernet from router to Solo 2 box. So unlessI hadn't configured something properly, it was useless for me. Has anyone else had better results with an ATV2?

Tyler, You Don't Need To Do Anything On The Enigma2 Box...

lfcjim82, I Get Perfect Results In HD On My Quad Core 2.6 Ghz Computer, And Perfect SD Results On My 2.2Ghz Single Core PC... (Both Ethernet Hard Wired Using A Gigabit Switch)

Will Post Results On My Dual Core When I've Tested It...

But mine is not showing the picons yet, although still importing EPG from clients. .do I have to wait for that to finish?

It's For A Pc, Or Any Device That Can Run The XBMC...

Like A Raspberry Pi, Android, OpenElec, MAC, Linux, Windows Etc...

Yes Initially You Need To Wait For It To Completely Download The EPG/Picons/Recording Data... It Takes About 20 Minutes... And After That When Starting XBMC, It Quickly Loads Them Locally Within Seconds... But If You Set Your EPG To Only 1 Day, And Don't Start It For 2 Days After, You'll Have To Wait The 20 Minutes Again Before Everything Is Upto Date... Which Is Why I Recommend To Set It To Several Days... I've Found There's No Difference Between 1 And 3 Days In Terms Of Download Time...

Mine is taking forever to download... i guess it has to do with my machine spec 2.1Ghz 2Core 4RAM

Is It Hard Wired??? All My PC's Take About 20 Minutes... And One Is On WiFi (But Has A Brilliant Signal(2 Metres Away))

Your Spec Has Nothing To Do With It... My Single Core 2.1Ghz Wifi Laptop With 2Gb Takes The Same Time As My Quad 3.4Ghz 8Gb 120Gb SSD Server With Gigabit Network Card Directly Connected To A Gigabit Switch... The Latters Startup However Is Blisteringly Fast... No XBMC Frodo Splash Screen, And The Local Load Is About 1.5 Seconds Including Channel And Recording Update...

However The Laptop Can Handle SD Live TV/Recordings Perfectly... I've A Bit More Testing To Do To Determine What Specs Will Provide Perfect HD... When I've Done That I'll Post Back...After That I'll Be Testing An Android Quad Core Mini PC/Media Centre With 2Gb To See If That Can Handle The Live HD Hard Wired... And Again I'll Post Back The Results...

Hi
After having problems getting into site to download proggy i finally did it and following your instructions i managed to get it working, just one problem i found is i have a multi satellite setup so when reading from the stb my channel list it went for east to west, when the list appeared after loading the list is numerical so i had to scroll through 7000 channel to find the 28east channels what really is needed if reading data from stb is the satellite xml file so your able to select the bird from which you wish to view channel, can this be done or is the program limited.

If You Left Click TV Channels (Far Left Sliding Menu) It Rotates Through The Bouquet's... If You Right Click The Space To The Right Of TV Channels, And Select Group Management, You Can Directly Go To A Bouquet, But You Have To Hover Over TV Channels Again...
