View Full Version : How to Stream from Enigma Sat > Plex Server > Plex Client?
Hi All
Hope somebody can assist.
Current LAN Setup
Miracle Sat Box running OpenVix
PLEX Server running in NAS
PLEX Client running on Mac Mini
Want to be able to LIVE Stream from the Sat Box via Plex Server to the Plex Client.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about it?
I've tried DreamPlex plugin, Tunerserver plugin, etc with no luck.
Many thanks
Yes is possible and works well.
Search for dreambox plugin 0.1 on plex forums ;-)
Steve.
going through the 50 odd pages there - got the latest bundle, edited the preference file......
currently stuck on the following
as I run PLEX server on a ReadyNAS box - I had had to SSH into the plugins folder - which I have done successfully.
How do I copy the "bundle" from a network share to this particular folder........not that clued up on linux command line..... :(
Got it working - despite being connected over a GB LAN, the stream is not reliable, keeps dropping.

Maybe that is a limitation of the NAS you are running it on. I run plex server on a PC and have no issues what so ever.

Good point - I should have mentioned that I am running the Plex Server on a Mac Mini and NOT on the NAS - decided against it due to CPU and transcoding requirements.
Hmm. Don't know then. As I said, I have no issues what so ever.
Are you streaming from port 8001? If so, is that a transcoded stream? If it is, you could maybe try and drop the bit rate and see if that improves it?
Steve.
yes, 8001 - which should NOT be transcoded (on the Enigma) however seems like the PLEX server (MacMini) is transcoding for the PS3 and Panasonic TV Plex Clients.

Ive downloaded the dreambox plugin bundles but have no idea what to do from there Im afraid
For me....copy Dreambox.bundle to the Plex server plugins folder. Mines here on my Synology server;
\\NAS\Plex\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\
Restart Plex server.
Login into Plex server go to Channels > Dreambox. Click on Dreambox settings and add in the relevant information.
Click Save and hopefully when you go back into Dreambox channel you'll have;
On Now
Live TV
Recorded TV
Tools
Active Timers
Good luck

Once you copy the files over to the folder don't forget to change the permissions to ensure full read write.
You will also need to edit the dreambox plugin file to point to your dream box (IP, Web Port, Streaming Port).
Hi,
Can I use this on Star View H1 box using VIX image.
Thanks

This is part of the Channels interface. No need to amend any plugin files.
I've been giving this a shot and can view live TV but not recording.
Recordings are listed, but I get a message "There was a problem playing this item" when I try to watch in Chrome.

Here is my settings: (correct?)

What container/codec settings do people use?
Also, do you use the Experimental Player?

Recording via the Plugin interface didn't work for me either so I reverted to the native PLEX interface to play recordings.
Same settings although the oath for me is harddisk/movie

Had this working flawlessly for a couple of months and now LIVE TV is no longer working on PHT / other plex clients (IOS / web) are fine.
Running the latest versions of
Plex Server

I wonder if someone can help me get this working.
I installed the Plugin successfully in Plex and can see the channel & edit the settings. I've put the correct IP of my Device (Xtrend ET10000) into the settings, but it does not work.
I read on the Plex forum;
Limitations: This plugin is only tested with the web interface that is called Enigma Web Interface - Pli Edition. Until more development is done to support the Dreambox API, no other web interface will work I believe.
I am not sure if this is the webinterface that the ET10000 I'm running has. It's called "OpenWebif", and I have the OpenViX image on the box.
Should this plugin work with this config and I'm just doing something wrong, or is it a compatibility issue?
yes the plugin will work with openvix - you are running the correct web interface.

I am copying the dreambox.bundle folder to:
usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions
but on reboot folder is disappearing which I think might be due wrongly edited permissions! Once installed successfully should i see it in plugin browser?

Ok scratching my head here! Is this plugin supposed to install on my PC's Plex as opposed to the enigma2 box?

if you are referring to the dreambox plugin that this thread refers to then that would be installed on your plex server - all the relevant info is on the dreambox plugin thread on the plex forums (mentioned earlier in this thread).
enjoy.

Anyone managed to get this running off Plex server on a Nvidia Shield tv? A few extra hurdles to be crossed with rooting and symlinking for access to required folders but it is all i've got to work with at the moment.
