I tried it last night to watch Shetland episode 1 and it worked perfectly thank you all for the hard work that has gone into this brilliant plugin
The "preferred stream quality" is missing from my config menu ,it was installed from the beta thread on ver626 and i have updated to 629 this morning
Tried to download from the extensions this morning on my client ET5000 (VIX 626), basically vanilla system plus remotestream channelconverter.......
unable to allocate memory
unpack of .......... failed
:confused:
Works a Treat.... Excellent Job ..!

any news about " problem retrieving stream url " on 4OD ?
don'r forget 'YOU MUST REMOVE THE THE OLD VERSION FIRST, BEFORE INSTALLING FROM FEEDS'
Just tried it and the image looks superb thank you. However I have a problem with ondemand.
The RTE and 3 players work fine but on BBC iplayer and ITV player I get the following error message (unable to find playable stream) and on 4 on demand I get error (problem retrieving stream url). Any ideas?

Hi
Would it be possible to tweek the viewer to show series in date order example on itv new series broadchurch has two episodes but the latest is at the top can that be changed so first episode is first then 2 - 3 etc under it
By the way good work by all thoses involved in this project making the vu a front runner in satellite technology
just would like to say great work :cool:

To be honest I dont think that would be a good idea. You can however access it via two clicks, ie blue button > ondemand. Or menu > ondemand

It looks like all of your attached logs are the same and I can only see an attempt to play a BBC iPlayer stream..
Anyway, for users outside of the UK the only streams we can play are source by Limelight. For the show you tried to play it doesn't look like a limelight stream was available as this is the error thrown:
Non UK Address
findPlayUrl: Non-UK and no limelight, return blank:
I suggest try and play a different show and see if that works for you on the iPlayer. As I can't see any details in the log for ITV Player I can't debug this fro you...
Hi All involved, this is a fantastic plugin much appreciated.
As a XBMC user I compared the HD quality on iPlayer on my XBMC machine compared to my Vu Solo 2 and can see a noticeable difference (I did make sure to select the high quality setting on the menu). I went to BBC HD and played the latest Top Gear episode. These are screenshots of both paused at about the same time, firstly the one from my Vu Solo 2:
24302
And now the one from XBMC:
24303
As you can see the one from XBMC seems to be a higher quality stream, whereas the one from the Vu Solo 2 is more like SD and has the logo sort of zoomed in.
Is there anyway to get the same HD streams in this plugin as on XBMC?

Hi there,
This request has appeared a few times and it is something that we need to look into to see if it will be possible. If the XBMC Addon-on can play the HD stream then I presume that our OnDemand plugin should be able to do so also.
Time will tell though..
looks like in build 630 problem with " problem retrieving stream url " on 4OD is gone . great job OnDemand team

I'm afraid that this is one that we can't take credit for I'm afraid..
I suspect that the method used to bypass Geo Block (service called TUNLR) must have been having issues that have since been resolved. Anyway, great to see that it's back and working :thumbsup:
Hi Guys
Please can someone point me in the direction of where to find the On demand plugin dl

Thanks for your reply just tried again, still the same on bbc, itv and 4 but rte and 3 ok. I have attached another log file hopefully with all the info in, sorry about the last one.
Thanks again nml
Thanks Phoenix, do i not need to FTP a IPK file then? I just simply go through the steps you mentioned and it should already be there automatically?

In your latest log I can only see one attempt to play a programme from BBC iPlayer, no output from any of the other players you mentioned :confused:
As for the BBC stream you are trying to play, are you always trying to play the same stream or trying different ones and always getting the same error?
BTW, where are you based?

Yes just try the feeds or the telnet command and it should be fine.
All dependencies are in the feeds. If it does not work dont worry as andy is currently in the process of rebuilding the feeds and having a major clear out of the ViX build machines etc.

OK, I'm looking for a UK based user to test a bit of code for me on this HD option..
I have added a new stream quality option of HD so the plan is that if you select a programme that has a HD stream available it should hopefully play it as long as you are in the UK. Unfortunately HD streams don't seem to be available from outside the UK so this is why I can't test this myself..
So, can someone in the UK transfer the two files in this zip over onto the OnDemand folder of your receiver and then reboot. If you could then launch OnDemand, press Menu and change the preferred stream quality to HD and then try and play the latest episode of Top Gear from the Most Popular category (I know this has a HD stream).
Can you report:
1. That the programme plays.
2. That you are getting the HD quality stream.
If you don't know if the stream is HD then change the config option back to High, play Top Gear again and compare the quality of both.
Works brilliant on Top Gear :).
BBC icon is a lot smaller on the HD stream
Also works in the HD section of iplayer :)
Top gear on now and is definitely in HD
am in UK and all working well
great stuff
also may be worth pointing out here but on my main TV at home the BBC icon is never cut off even before this test file possibly as i have overscan turned off on the TV ?.

Yeah, it always displayed fine for me too but I also had overscan turned off so perhaps that..
Anyway, looks to be working then so happy days, thanks for testing lads :thumbsup:
I will release this to the GIT now then!
Just a quick thanks to those who tested this file for us, you really helped us a lot here as none of our UK based guys were available to test the file.

Hi I am based in Granada Southern Spain.
I am mystified as to why the log only shows 1 attempt, what I did exactly was to test a different stream on BBC a stream on ITV and 4 also RTE and 3 and the last two worked. I downloaded immediately the log file from home via ftp. Is this the correct way to do it?
Just a bit more info that Could be relevant my internet connection is wifi via a subsidiary of Telefonica using a cable router and of course the box picks up a local network address for dns. Strangely I can use ITV player on my Foxsat hdr but not Iplayer.
Thanks again for your time and help.

Just doube check that the log file you are downloading from your receiver is the most recent one. You should see several posts in your log file for something equivalent to "Non UK" where if you look at the log you posted this is only showing once.
How do i install this.
[OnDemand] Add a HD Option for BBC iPlayer
New config option to play the HD streams from the BBC iPlayer.Currently this will only work for UK users, limelight doesn't seem tosend data for HD streams
Code:
https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-plugins/commit/503f73c8c76fe6f750982b5349bdef08ba42b575
you can either load the required file manually to your box or you could a image update as that would pull the latest version from the Git.

or if there are no image updates available uninstall the plugin and re download it fresh with the following telnet command.
opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand
Thank you. i will do it this way.
or if there are no image updates available uninstall the plugin and re download it fresh with the following telnet command.
opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand
you could also try the init 4 && opkg update && opkg upgrade && init 3 command and see if that pulls the latest version from the GIT.
but the above install command will grab the latest version, and if you change install to download you can even download the plugin in a ipk form from the GIT which it will save to home/root on the receiver.
BBC HD streams now working outside of UK :thumbsup:

Hi Guys,
On buld 632. but decided to update my OnDemand version as I was missing the line "Preferred Stream Quality" in my config. I deleted my OnDemand folder, re-started Enigma, and attempted to install from the Plugins/Extensions menu. However, I get an error which I captiured in the attached screenshot.
Any suggestions as to my next move?
GAH
if you cant install it from the feeds try this version i just downloaded from the GIT, it has all the latest updates already in there and you wont need any telnet commands for dependencies as you have already had the plugin installed.
Hi Pheonix,
Thanks for that, much appreciated!
GAH
is it possible with stream that is coming from OnDemand plugin also to have original subtitles with it ?

I just want to say a big THANK YOU for adding the new HD option for BBC iPlayer. It works perfectly and looks fantastic. This has got to be the most useful plugins ever made and almost makes recording programmes redundant unless you need something for keeps! Well done and thank you again!!!!
is it possible with stream that is coming from OnDemand plugin also to have original subtitles with it ?
Currently no and not sure if it will be possible TBH. It would all depend if the feed data contains a subtitles stream, if they did then it might be possible but I haven't looked at any of this yet!
I would just like to say i am very very impressed with this plugin. It is what i have been hoping for a good few years now. It is just about making the box a one bit of kit that does everything i want now. I have it on my home network so i can view my own movies and now on demand. It just gets better and better. A big well done :cool: :thumbsup:

I have been trying over the past few days an still have the same problem on BBC, ITV and ch 4. If after a reboot I try BBC first it only shows one error in the logfile the latest test (logfile attached) it appears to show 2 errors and I have not yet spotted an error in the log on channel 4, also when I try ondemand again the logfile sometimes appears not to update.
Completely lost now and I am wondering if there is some kind of incompatibility with my internet connection because strangely as I said I can get ITV player on my foxsat hdr ( That I should not get) so I will see if I can try it on someone's landline adsl connection.
Any way if you have any more suggestions I would be very grateful if not many thanks for your help so far.
Regards nml
ET9000> BBCHD picture is supereb, no buffering and just works.. but with a couple of niggles (Same goes for ITV player)
Programme goes out of sync after about 30 minutes and Ondemand player doesnt exit out of the application fully. If i can help resolve these two minor issues in anyway, ill be glad to help.

right now strange things are afoot, :confused:Ive tried the plugin again today and this time 4od will not even populate (screen 1) neither will itv player (screen 2), bbc iplayer populates the shows but when i click on a stream it doesn't play and states it is unable to find playable file.

I deleted all debug logs before i tested these operations, and restarted my box to create new logs. I have attached the 2 debug logs created as i tested on 2 different occasions.

There looks to be something funny with your internet connection on your receiver, all players failing on a simple read of the feeds:
ITV Player
getMediaData: Error getting Media info: Error reading file 'http://www.itv.com/_data/xml/CatchUpData/CatchUp360/CatchUpMenu.xml': failed to load external entity "http://www.itv.com/_data/xml/CatchUpData/CatchUp360/CatchUpMenu.xml"
4OD
wgetUrl: Exception: <urlopen error unknown url type: https>
StreamsMenu: Error parsing feed: local variable 'response' referenced before assignment
BBC iPlayer
findPlayUrl: Error getting URLs: global name 'URLError' is not defined
Can you check some other plugin to see if they can access the web or even run a network test and ensure that everything looks ok there first?
This is not Geo or anything as the Geo restrictions don't kick in until you try and play something and most of these are failing when it is simply trying to pull the feeds data.

Right just tested, internet is working fine. However i have got all Ondemand working.................but to do so i had to disable my smart DNS settings and revert to my isp dns settings. i don't understand why i have had to do this. I use smart dns to view ADMC sports in the middle east which is geo locked.

I had exactly the same issue, you can solve it by editing the name server settings on the box to not go via smartdns. If you look in the Network, Device Setup area the Name server settings can be changed there, most likely setting it to 192.168.1.1 will be correct. This way you can leave the router to use smartdns for all the other devices.

you could try using tunlr's DNS settings on your receiver it self and see if that works.
The primary (preferred) DNS server is 142.54.177.158

Sounds nice... the info is in the source files which are openly available in the git.
https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-plugins/tree/master/OnDemand
I wonder whether these guys support Australia, Eire, NZ etc. The Tunlr IP uses servers in the UK and US so doesn't unlock other locations (as you are aware with your needs).

Anyone know an alternative to TUNLR that is free and willing to open the service to other regions? I asked TUNLR and they are not currently willing to offer anything else other than US & UK..

Tried to install this from instructions on 1st page but fails because of allocation memory error, any ideas or where can i do this manually and where to i stick the files
That would suggest that your flash is almost full which is something i would seriously look into as it could cause issues and when the flash does fill up it will put the receiver into a full on bootloop.
you can install the plugin via the following Telnet command
init 4 && opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3
or download the .ipk directly from the feeds to the /home/root folder on your receiver with this telnet command
opkg download enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand
anyway to get HD feeds? cheers
HD feeds are incorporated into the OnDemand plugin now, just press menu when in the main menu of the OnDemand player and set the stream quality to HD.
thanks i didnt see that setting will have a look later
I have the gigablue quad and the plugin was working well up until today when i tried to update it. Now every time i try to watch something i don't get sound. I have restarted my box several times. Un-installed and reinstalled. But i still can't get it working. Using Vix 632
HD feeds are incorporated into the OnDemand plugin now, just press menu when in the main menu of the OnDemand player and set the stream quality to HD.
I can chose preferred quality HD stream , but in reality when I do that my stream is lower quality than when its selected HIGH quality . I can see that visual and when i click OK button in the left corner .
i'm on 632 build , and my internet connection is 15/10 Mbit
don'r forget 'YOU MUST REMOVE THE THE OLD VERSION FIRST, BEFORE INSTALLING FROM FEEDS'
How does one remove the older version properly?
FTP into the receiver and navigate to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/ delete the OnDemand folder and reboot the receiver. once it reboots you can install it again from the feeds or via the following telnet command.
init 4 && opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3
I can confirm that the ABC iView works perfectly from the UK using the OverPlay DNS service.
I have 2 STBs, an Ultimo and a DM8000, with previous versions I have been able to unpack and just copy the OnDemand folder to the 8000, install dependencies and it worked fine with the OE2.0 image I have installed, however with this version it complains about "OnDemand (cannot import name SCOPE_ACTIVE_SKIN). Can anyone advise how to install this missing skin on the 8000 ?
Thanks for the great plugin and any help.

I'm not seeing this I'm afraid, what player is this on?
BBC iPlayer and ITV players are the only two players that offer various stream qualities so if you are referring to any of the other players it simply can't be the case!
If you refer to BBC or ITV then post more details please, what programmes you are playing etc and even post screenshots if possible.
I can confirm that the ABC iView works perfectly from the UK using the OverPlay DNS service.
I have 2 STBs, an Ultimo and a DM8000, with previous versions I have been able to unpack and just copy the OnDemand folder to the 8000, install dependencies and it worked fine with the OE2.0 image I have installed, however with this version it complains about "OnDemand (cannot import name SCOPE_ACTIVE_SKIN). Can anyone advise how to install this missing skin on the 8000 ?
Thanks for the great plugin and any help.
The previous versions of OnDemand you say worked on your receiver must have been downloaded from a different forum and was one of the modified versions of OnDemand.
The versions available here will not work directly on your receiver!
I have the gigablue quad and the plugin was working well up until today when i tried to update it. Now every time i try to watch something i don't get sound. I have restarted my box several times. Un-installed and reinstalled. But i still can't get it working. Using Vix 632
Have you tried flashing your receiver and downloading the latest version from the feeds?

I figured it out, ondemand does not allow "digital down mix" set to No. Which is a shame as i prefer my amp to decode the audio. I have to change the box settings for the plugin to work. Hopefully this can be fixed soon :)

I have digital down mix set to "No" and it works fine through my Onkyo amp - however even on HD streams from BBC audio is still just stereo rather than AC3

i do refer to BBC iPlayer - i'm going on HD quality on BBC iPlayer and i have also selected in menu - HD quality .
so when HD is on , what i get from BBC iPlayer stream is 24548 after few tries this is what i get 24549 <- not realy a HD quality , but if I select in OnDemand menu - high quality 24550 and after that i try to play BBC iPlayer HD stream this is what i get 24551 and stream have better quality , not realy HD quality but close .

The Plugin it self can be found via either the online image feeds.
Menu> plugins > ( green button ) > extensions.
or via a telnet session with the following commands
init 4 && opkg update
opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3

Damn shame i never too I.T. seriously.
if your using the ViX image on the receiver press Menu then go to plugins then press the green button to open the image feeds, once the feeds are open navigate to extensions and scroll all the way down till you see OnDemand and click on it to install.

ok...if i play bbc iplayer, itv player, tv3 player all play perfectly......if i go to play a rte player video i get a black screen and if i press stop i get the vix logo spinning and it takes 10 minutes to return to the rte video list menu.
vu+ duo
vix 3.0 build 632
no mention in logs
my friend has same box...same image, build etc and his rte player plays fine.......we have the same plugins installed...nothing different that i can figre out...except different isp's
Turn on debug logs in setup->system->logs->settings and post your log directly after the rte stream doesn't play..
ok...did that...even rebooted afterwards....tried rte player...chose a video..."dirty old town" i think i chose, but its the same for all....player bar showed up on a blank screen...nothing played...waited for 2 mins pressed stop on remote....vix logo spun round for 7-8 mins...then went back to rte player list......i then exited out of the plugin and checked logs but no log was created.
just did it again....same...and no log generated.....afraid i might mess the image up or something if i keep trying to force it...cant be right taking 7-8 mins coming back from trying to play it
maybe some setting i have messed with somewhere else in the image menus.......funny though that the other players on ondemand work.
anyway....thanks for the response.

1.Delete all logs you have from log manager and then ensure debug logs are enabled.
2.Power down and then restart receiver.
3.return to you're log manager you should see you will have one debug log there with the time and date. (If you haven't then something wrong)
4. Goto on-demand plugin and try rte again. Once it fails again then ftp to box and post the one debug log that you checked previous (this will now have info in it from on-demand) to this thread for mcquaim to check.

I am not sure what you mean about using a vix image. The image if this helps is hardy heron 8.04. This is my OS image and my receiver is called a reelbox.
I googled vix image but i think i`m past my head on this.
Thanks for all your help but i don`t have that extreme learning curve that only a few people have.

Yeah, yocan attach files in the forum if you click on the "Go Advanced" button and then under the "Manage Attachements" section..
Anyway, had a quick look at your log file and it looks like you have internet connection problems on your receiver. Even some simple feeds reading is failing:
getMediaData: Error getting Media info: Error reading file 'http://feeds.rasset.ie/rteavgen/player/chart/?platform=playerxl&limit=36': failed to load HTTP resource
How is your Duo connected to the internet? You are saying that the other players are working fine so it's a strange one :confused:
Are you able to open this url fine on a pc/laptop?
http://feeds.rasset.ie/rteavgen/player/chart/?platform=playerxl&limit=36
yup...opened fine on laptop that link.
on the router...last night..i changed the dns settings from my isp to google dns (8.8.8.8) but still same.
everything else that uses our broadband through the same router is fine.....and everything else that uses internet connection on the box is fine....
when doing a broadband speedtest from my laptop wirelessly i get typically 45ms ping and 7.90 up and 7.90 down (i get same up as down on the connection i have)
i have turned firewall off on the router.
even things like icefilms work perfect on the vu+
thanks for your time on it.
also...to explain...i can get the menu's and listings of the videos on rte player up fine...it is only when it tries to play them...the player is stuck on 0.00 and doesn't play anything...and pressing stop gives the vix logo spinning and it takes around 7-8 minutes to go back to the previous screen...the listing of videos on rte player.

VIX 3.0 build 632 - not sure of OnDemand version so I downloaded the latest from the feed this morning - still working fine whether AC3 downmix is on or off.
Also note - I send the audio to the amp via HDMI rather than a seperate SPDIF optical cable...

27-03-13, 12:51
Yes, channel 5 would be something we will be looking into!
Have you not tried hitting exit on your Duo remote to exit the OnDemand plugin?
i am sure i pressed the exit button i don’t think I had a blonde moment I did not reboot the box after installing the plugin do you think this may have been the issue should I always reboot the box after installing plugins ? As the exit button is now working I did however manage to lock the on demand player up just a few minutes ago iplayer was stuck in a small loop & I was recording a program in the back ground at the same time so I did a hard reset i.e. I switched the box off then back on again & all is now working for the moment even when recording in the back ground.
I set my crash log up yesterday so I get a copy sent to my email address but it would be nice to have a read receipt sent to me as it would not feel like I had sent it to a blackhole………. no pun intended.
My box crashed again this morning & rebooted itself I went to the log but it had not generated a new file is this correct do I have to delete it each time before I can generate a new file or does it put the new crash info in the old log file ? I did not want to send a copy of the same file to team vix as I guess they are bogged down with log files as it is.
what dependencies does this plugin use to play the rte player ?....just wondering if another file / plugin / setting could be effecting mine.
also...been thinking about this....my isp is a local company...i have an antenna outside on the house which looks at a mast miles away, but they get it from germany i think before its gotten to us.....sometimes if a web browser defaults itself it will set google.de, things like that......would that effect rte player playing in the plugin ??...even though rte player plays fine on laptop and ipad ?

RTE Player has a dependency on LXML being installed on your Duo. If you installed the plugin from the Vix feeds directly from your Duo then these dependencies would have been installed automatically.. If you haven't installed this plugin from the feeds then I suggest you re-flash your Duo with the latest image and then install it from the feeds (Menu->Plugins->Green button to download and then select OnDemand from the Extensions section).
Apart from that I have no idea!
As for you ISP provider, TV3 "Straight Off The Telly" section would not work either if your IP was reported as not being Ireland and they would also not work on your laptop/pc..
### EDIT ###
You can verify your IP location here:

Well, this is your ISP ruled out as an issue then..
How did you install OnDemand then?
it came on the box already installed......same as my friends though as his works....and the other players tv3 included work...thanks for all these replies.
*got the box less than two weeks ago.

I suggest you flash the Duo again from scratch, you will find lots of tutorials here on the forum that will help you with this. When you do this then install OnDemand from the feeds like I described above so that you know you have the latest version of the code installed.
Perhaps your mate had a more recent version of the OnDemand code or something like that and why his is working!
BTW, you sure that the Duo is a genuine one and not a clone? If it is a clone then that is probably your problem... (Clone = pile of crap)

I agree, as this plugin is in it's early stages then all the feedback we get is valued :thumbsup:
Can you unzip this file and fire this latest BBC iPlayer py file into the OnDemand folder of your receiver and then reboot and try what you did previously? I simply can't produce what you are describing so I really think you must not have the most up-to-date BBC iPlayer code..
Let me know how you get on!
The feeds are slightly out of sync with the GIT while we test the EPG and recording enhancments, so as mac says you likely have a slightly older version.

yes thats correct, the image in the screenshot is too old and needs to be updated.
I updated my image and bootloader to the latest versions and the ondemand seems to be working fine :)
The updating process was simple enough to do so I would recommend getting your box updated to enjoy this plugin.
I have done the update on the box via the TV and it says nothing to update

I think you need to enable unstable updates in the setup/system/software update if the next update isn't a stable image. Then try it.

I am about to get a new receiver and am choosing either the Vu+ Solo2 or the Technomate TM-2T. I look forward to being able to have Ondemand for the iPlayer for BBC and ITV. I am in France, so need to get around geo location to do that! Your plugin sounds just great!
I read that the Technomate TM-2T has problems with a browser (does the Vu+ Solo2??). I wonder if this will be a problem for the TM-2T when deleting the old version before installing from new feeds. I would want to do that from an ethernet connection rather than from a memory stick.

BBCiplayer and the ITV player work fine out side of the uk with the OnDemand plugin as they use the free DNS servers of TUNLR which is built into the plugin. as for web browser only the Vu's at the moment have a fully functioning browser The Technomates dont.

@ Bubbleballs: thanks for that information!
It seems the plus of having a fast browser on the receiver is that it will be on your home network. I guess you can access what is on that browser/telly from other computers (or tellys on your home ethernet network?)on the same network. So, if I have an ethernet switch in a room far from my vu+ solo2, I could plug in a computer or monitor and have access to all the channels? And the Ondemand feature would be useable in that room? Or is that wishful thinking. Would a video type homeplug do the same thing?

You can access (wired and wireless) your box quite easily on your home network, just assign a static ip and use that address as your URL. This lets you access channels and recordings, though HD channels don't stream well - no issue with SD channels. It's also possible to do this from outside your network (may need to use your pc to transcode) though I have not used this set up.
I have never tried accessing the on demand, sorry. Might try tonight but can't readily think of a way to accessing and navigating the plugin remotely.

Hmm, looks like I have a bit of studying to do about static IPs and URLs. Don't know how often I would need to assign IPs and URLs, which could be a bit complicated. I need to read and learn a bit more. Thanks, though!
What I like about the idea of Ondemand is that it seems better than a proxy. For me, needing a proxy cuts me out of the group that could use iplayers on the television. I have a proxy for my main computer, where I can use the iplayer, but that doesn't affect my television.

I know nought about proxy but setting a static ip is really simple - it's part of the basic setup when you first start using your box. It is really, really simple so don't get bogged down researching it.

Do you assign the static ip once only? Should it be a UK one if you want to use 28 Astra and the iplayers used with it? I was wondering if I would need to reset the ip every time I had an electricity blip or lost a wifi signal or for any reason that caused my connection to cut out.

your thinking too much into it mate.
when you set up the network on the receiver you just give it a static IP within your own network. so for example it could be
192.168.0.55. This is just so that you can use things like the web interface without having to constantly look up the receivers IP every time it is changed by the router, set up a static ip and basically thats it.
so, it could be any ip address? I am in France, would the address I assign need to be like my real French one? I think it would. That shouldn't be a problem because Ondemand works around the geolock?
The box gets an IP address on your local network, the same as any other connected device.
Get the basics up and running first & then you can be helped with any additional features.

i'm not that clued up on networking or the terminology used so please forgive me if any of this is wrong.
the ip you set has nothing to do with where you are geographically, it's a local ip address assigned by your router. so for example if you use a netgear router it would assign it self to 192.168.0.1 so you can then assign the receiver to a ip within it's local range ( between 2 and 255 ) for example 192.168.0.99.
Thanks, both of you! I want to buy a machine that's already loaded, so when I turn it on, I hope it will be pretty much plug and play. After that, I could delete info and update, etc, as needed. Don't want to tinker too much, though, as I am far away from technicians who could help! I am already helped here a lot, btw!
you can ask your retailer ( the sponsor ?? ) to preload a image for you, but even then these receivers are far from plug and play, that said with a little reading and asking of questions on the forum we can help with just about all aspects of setup ( where the forum rules permit ).
I will buy from the sponsor. I will have to ask a few questions before I buy, of course ;).
A few years ago, I bought an Eagle box. I was mortified that I did something wrong from the very first; I forgot to save a copy of the original image! I managed to get the box set up through advice from a forum. I think I could still use it, but things have moved on and got better from those days...still, could be good to toy with it. Anyway, for the next receiver I buy, I don't want to be too confused with the integral wizards, and wind up setting up parameters that my sponsor has already done for me (and done a better job, too, then me!). I am sure you can understand.
The image has a highly customized backup manager and image manager built rite in, so you can make a full image or settings backup at any time.
also once your more accustomed to using the receiver it will only take you 10 minutes to reflash and setup from scratch, believe me on that one. yes it's daunting at first but thats what this forum is here for.
Hi All,
I have the above OnDemand plugin install on my TM-Twin and absolutely love it, BIG THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED IN GETTING THIS UP. I currently have the following players on mine.
BBC, ITV, 4OD, RTE, TV3, UG, ABC iView(recently added)
Does anyone know if there are more available like 5Demand, Hulu, HBO, Netflix.......would love to add some more so i can stop P2P as ISP is close to cutting me off.
we do have a Demand 5 plugin working but we have shelved development on that for the time being as all content uploaded to their servers after august 2012 is heavily DRM encrypted and wont play at all via STB rendering it pretty much pointless. as for any future additions, well were always looking but the devs are on a little break after working so hard on this project for the past couple of months.
Hi Pheonix,
Thanks for the update. They deserve a break. I am only starting to get into the STB and software scene i come mainly from a hardware background building PC/Servers and the odd electrical work on car. I know a fair bit about SQL/VBA etc and would love to learn some more on the dev side of things. Great work to you all and hopefully i can return the favour someday :)

To be totally honest mate i'm just a crash test monkey compared to guys like Mcquaim and Andyblac, most of what they do is like voodoo to me, but i do know how hard they work and the shear number of hours that go into these projects all for free too.
so yeah i''m just as much a fan of the work they do as any one else.
jumped into all this without doing any research at all (not advisable). Bought box from WOS and have had a nightmare setting up, also bought wifi dongle from WOS which i still cant get working for love nor money. Can't get HD for some reason, although suspect tv is at fault. None of this matters now after downloading "on demand plugin" to find i can watch every GRAND DESIGNS ever made. Big thanks to all the guys who developed this plugin and everyone involved in this forum. cheers gari

About a year ago I researched replacing Sky with Free to air and Saorview (Irish digital tv) and read a lot on many sites. It helped me determine my first STB (Vu duo from a German supplier) but, after the research, I still shat myself flashing boot loader and image for the first time as the tech was totally new to me.
I have spent the last year reading forums, particularly this one, and coming to grips with the capabilities of E2 receivers and images in general. After a few months I began revisiting some threads I looked at initially - threads I liked the idea of but couldn't quite grasp the details of, at that time - and the options available for these boxes is unbelievable. I can now fully understand why people make a hobby from this.
I have had a few moments of "why doesn't this work, I've followed the steps exactly" but that, though frustrating to begin with, has actually been part of the fun, and the learning curve, and you'll get there sooner than you think. I am now on my second box (GB Quad from sponsor) and am delighted that I decided to try this setup.
Stick with it.

Following an update to my ET9200 today I am now seeing ABC iView as a channel. I can see that there are programmes in the ABC player and judging by the content I guess this is Australian? However, so far I have not been able to stream any programmes - just get a blank screen. BBC iPlayer, ITV and so on behaving normally.
yes, ABC iView is currently geo locked to Australia.
Hi guys.
I've installed this plugin through this commend:
init 4 && opkg update && opkg install enigma2-plugin-extensions-ondemand && init 3, which installed ok.
After reboot it started fine and I can choose the program but after pressing ok the screen remains black with zero minute on it.
The strange thing is that I've no problem with this plugin when I try it with BH or Open aaf images and it plays just fine.
Tried to uninstall and re-install it a few times (removed it with remove the plugin option, then deleted the remaining folder with ftp) but still no luck.
I have a VU+ Uno.
Attached the debug log.
Thanks

Assuming you are running VIX what version and build?
This ABC is great for us downunder, would there be the chance for any other Australian channels in the future, especially ones that air the V8 supercars series :)
So those without SKY can watch it .:cool:
Great work
Cheers
I can't get ABC on demand as it appears to be geolocked to Australia, can you Mavarick?

Thats correct, it is only available in Australia due to the geo lock.

I must add a note next to the players that will only work in their particular regions to avoid this confusion..
As for more Australian players, I do believe one of the Vix team was looking into this but I'm not sure how it's coming along!

Hi. As the title of my post says, I'm running vix v3 build 649.
This is the best plugin I have ever used on any enigma2 box!
I installed it yesterday on my solo2 using BH image with opkg, it worked great, then I learned there is new version tried to manually put files in plugin folder, rebooted, unfortunately the plugin began crashing my BH image, so I reverted.
My question is where can download latest BH working version of the plugin?
thnx and rgds
if you installed the plugin in the BH image using a telnet session you have the latest version they have on their GIT.
if you have crash logs upload them to the BH forum and they may be able to fix the issue on their image.

Vix 653 installed - I only seem to have search and exit listed for the 4OD Player. I used to be able to choose a category. Any ideas?
Try removing and re installing it.

01-05-13, 06:27
I've tried that but it didn't fix it. I uninstalled it from the plugin menu (and checked the ondemand folder had gone), rebooted, re-installed the plugin and rebooted again. I even tried swapping an older previously saved ondemand folder. Still only the search and back option shows. I did a search, found Father Ted and it played fine. It's just the menu that has vanished.

4OD has indeed only 'Search'. Hasn't it always been like that?

no mate it usually has a lot of categories same as the BBC iplayer, such as animations, movies etc etc.
any way i too can confirm this on build 655 on my solo2.
Deleted OnDemand from the Solo2 and copied a slightly older build from the Ultimo to the Solo2. after a reboot catagories are still missing from the 4OD section.

Here 4OD has always only had the search (no categories). Maybe this is geo-lock dependant (I'm in France)?
This is what it normally looks like.

Has indeed never been the case here. So it looks like the GEO-lock changes that to 'search' only (as it has always done for me); maybe 'something' in the geo-lock (override) is now not working any more (and treats you as being abroad).
i'm out from UK and 4OD had search and all other sections , comedies , documentaries , drama ... etc ...
what image version are you using ?.

Then I'm lost: would GEO-lock 'know' different parts of the world? Where are you located? And on which version of OD (or ViX) are you?
located in Macedonia , latest 656 build , where i can see OD version ? , i'm sure about 4OD had all sections because is my favorite player from OD

maybe there have been some changes in 4OD player , and ViX OD can't take properly links from it .... just guessing
The 4OD feeds have changed so the parsing of the main menu is now incorrect.
I will try and get a fix applied and I will upload this to the GIT.
Ok, fix has been applied..
Here is the updated fourOD file for those not ar$ed getting it from the GIT :p

Hi,
Searched through this thread but couldn't find any discussion on how to record from OnDemand. Is this possible? I can't find any way to do this on my boxes. Is it a possible future feature?

No and it's very unlikely that such a feature will ever be implemented as it would likely end up with the person(s) responsible in court with piracy charges.

There is a plugin named 'MediaInfo', that is capable of recording any active stream(s).

Ok thanks for the fedback. Although I'm not sure I understand the difference between recording from sat feeds vs recording from OnDemand feeds. :confused:

probably, but adding a 'watch later' feature could be a good gray area worth exploring...

I'm no lawyer so i wont even attempt to go there but we wont be adding the ability to Download content from within the OnDemand plugin, if you want to download content there are many methods already available that wont end up with us in a prison cell.

personally i dont agree, there would be no way to do that without downloading content from the relevant servers which would be piracy plain and simple. The BBC them selves allow you to download content from the Iplayer but it's DRM protected and unless we can implement a similar function we would not have a leg to stand on.

Ok, we'll that just crashed my box, but possibly because I was already watching an OnDemand feed (NASA: Triumph and Tragedy - it's very good) when I downloaded and started the plugin! Need to play around with it a bit further.

Guys
Is ondemand plugin for bbc/itv working okay for anyone this evening, specifically if you are in Ireland?
Just getting vix spinner and then it times out!
Got new upc broadband router and not sure if this is first time we used ondemand plugin since we got it!
Does anyone know if there are specific ports it uses and they might need to be opened? (running a different broadband configuration than before, hence the question)
WW
Both are working fine here, also in Ireland..
Did you check in the debug logs what exactly is happening?

27-05-13, 22:26
Thks for that, just needed confirmation it was working.
Suspect its to do with new router setup - cannot stream from cricfree either.

Hi Guys
I am running V3.0.666 on Vu+Solo2 and bought my box over to Spain. I can't get BBC iplayer, ITV player or C4 players to work as it being blocked beacause I am outside the UK. My understanding is anti GEO blocking is built into the plugin or have I got this wrong?
Any help or advise would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

yes OnDemand does have code to get around the GEO blocking for the UK players as pointed out in the posts above mine.
what if ant errors are you getting ??.
