How to stream your QUAD channels into an IPTV?

[XabiX]

I think I have found the solution:

you install flex as a client on a LG/Samsung Connected TV. Supported devices are listed here: http://www.plexapp.com/connected/index.php
It looks like something is also available for Sony TV which includes google sw: http://gigaom.com/video/plex-sony-internet-tv-app/

and then you install Plex server on the QUAD through this extension: enigma2-plugin-extensions-dreamplex

and you should be all set. The issue is that I don't have such TV yet but I ll try with another client like a PC or a tablet/smartphone.

I didn't know Plex before but it looks more simple and better than XBMC for an easy experience.

I watch HD streams over wifi all the time both on my laptop and on my galaxy s3.

HD TV channels and /or video?

Bad news the plugin I was referring to is for Plex client support on the OpenVIX but not for Plex media server :-(

Still looking for a solution without any third element.

Hi SPV4U,

When you say "You just enable live tv and setup the VU+ plugin with the IP of your quad" does it mean that you succeed to install such pluging on top of XMBC on the Raspberry pi?
i have a ubuntu server running on Intel Atom D2700 with Intel GMA 3650 where I can maybe install XMBC on top.

Which app do you use on the iPad that connects fine to the webif? (I used MPdroid on Android)

Thanks

it looks like TV app stores don't provide such app which would be great. Maybe the Google TV will allow to access Android store and therefore such apps?

Sorry been away with work.

Yes both Raspbmc and Openelec builds for the pi have all the plugins installed as standard. You have to have the latest version (frodo i think it is called) go into settings and turn on live tv, it will prompt for a add-on to be enabled and just choose VU+ and configure the settings. And yes I have this up and running in my bedroom using a home plug and it works quite well. Check out my older thread in the forum about the pi http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...d-Raspberry-Pi

For my iPad which is only v2 model I use an app called "Dreambox Live" it is only a simple interface but more than does the job for me to watch live tv anywhere in the house.

There is also a new slingbox model out in the states so when that hits the UK shelves I may bolt one of then in to stream outside the house.

Xabix, without getting too far off topic if you have a linux server with MySQL installed you can centralise the XBMC database to the server and therefore each XBMC devie can use the same databases and offload the work. This did help my pi speed up a little 8-)

As a temporarly solution I have ordered this stick with xbmc on it:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Hi802-Android-Mini-PC-HDMI-Dongle-Freescale-imx6-Quad-Core-1-2Ghz-1G-RAM-8GB-Bluetooth/803232_707427957.html

It doesn't do HW decoding but should be to go. I will use the home pc as the master xbmc and the stick as a client;

BUT it would be great to find a way to have the client directly on the TV !

I found TVs that have Plex client on it, but I can't configure Plex Media Server to connect to the dreambox. So I will try with the stick but it's another remote etc... and what happens when you shut it down etc...

Would be so great to have an app downloadable on the tv that connects to the dreambox directly!

no live links, please code them.

Hi
I spent loads of time trying to stream to another TV and in the end the solution was to look at it another way. I now stream HD from my VU duo by a gigaview 821. Works perfect and can handle two inputs.

I think these are my main reasons for seeking an option beside additional receiver(s):

-Power consumption (i haven't check the quad yet, but my old et9000 used to be about 40W i think and my Pi is about 2W
-Satellite feeds (running cables to some television sets from the dish would just not be practical. the house is already run with cat5e though
-Cost

I find myself trying to do a similar thing to the OP.

I have a VU+ Solo2 upstairs in the bedroom and can watch channels over satellite. I have also just bought a new Sony Bravia KDL55W905A which is a smart TV. This is located in my lounge next to my Win 7 gaming rig. I want to be able to steam the live tv from upstairs onto the Sony TV directly without having to use my PC.

Currently i just turn on the PC, go to OpenWEBIF and just stream BBC HD, etc. But that means having to get the mouse out, turning on the PC, etc.

The Win 7 PC is also a PLEX Media Server, and my TV can stream this when the PC is on. I also have the dreamplex client on the Vu+ Solo2 and this can stream it too.

On the solo2 settings for dreamplex, there is an area where you can specify where your media is, i have done this correctly but neither PC or Sony TV sees the dreamplex server - i assume that the dreamplex plugin is a client and not a server, but the settings are confusing.

Also on the Vu+ Solo2, i have mini-dlna set up and my Sony TV can see this and play all the videos i have on there (not TS recordings though!), I want to be able to stream LiveTV though. Any updates over the last 6 months?

I haven't tried XBMC on the Solo2 or Win7 but i assume PLEX is the same thing?

So for now, i watch streaming channels via Open WEBIF on the PC or if i am in the garden, i watch it on my iPhone using DreamBox / Vu+ Player app.

There is a plugin in the feeds called TunerServer, this might enable you to do what you want.
If not, you could get a cheap second hand E2 box, even with broken tuners & use the remote stream convert plugin.

Sorry to jump back in after so long.

If you have a W7 PC have you tried DVBLink? it will sync the channels and guide into Windows Media Centre so in theory you will be able to record and watch the channels fine using a remote and not having to use the webif

I tried TunerServer but its no good for the Sony Bravia W9 as it does not seem to like .m3u extensions. Back to the drawing board.

I havent tried it, no.

The aim was to not have the PC on at all and just be able to access LiveTV from the Solo2 to the Sony W9 TV. Thanks though. Doesnt look like my new smart tv is that smart at all. It doesnt even seem to like playing recorded programmes by the Solo2 (.TS format), plays everything else like mp4, etc fine via mini-DLNA extension.

what extensions does it like? maybe just try changing the etension on one channel to see if it works.

Yep. So called smart TVs aren't that smart yet...
