mediatomb

Guys

I have a Panasonic Smart TV in my bedroom and I would like to get my VU duo2 tuner streaming to it. How can this be done , do I need to download the mediatomb plugin as it is not available in the plugin downloads?

Also I have downloaded MiniDnla to the duo2 and I can see folders on the tv however the folders do not point to the media on the Hdd . Is there any way to change the folser locations on the Minidnla plugin?

Hope this makes some sense as I am on my second glass of wine. Happy Valentines (the mrs is not happy lol).

No experience myself, but
1- Try to use the DNLA-server (instead of the mini-DNLA)
2- Try to use the TunerServer plugin

Are these plugins available for download through The latest version of VIX?

I found the config in the network settings. I enabled the service but still nothing available on the tv?

You can navigate the TV to the location where TunerServer placed the files?

No . I cant see the service on the TV at all. I cant even see the service on my upnp app in my iphone? I have also disabled minidnla and this has removed the vu box from the tv.

When i use ftp i can see that the tunerserver plugin has created the tuner folder on the hdd. Still not able to access with pc/tv/iphone?

I am little bit further forward with this. Basically I navigated to the miniDNLA setup and set the share location to my hdd>movies which works fine and I can now play everything within the movie folder on any of my devices including my TV. When I select the tunerserver folder I can now see all the channels available but within the channel folder It shows emply. This is the same for my TV , iphone and ipad so I am guessing it has something to do with the m3u format of the tunerserver files. Is there any way to convert the m3u files to avi or mpeg4 ?

Have you thought about using XBMC
It is a media centre player
You will need a Rasberry Pi or maybe use a android media box ( Cheap)
You install XBMC onto the box and install the PVR plugin VU+ Enigma2 Cient on the box (This comes with XBMC)
I am using this to stream video, music, films all around my house via the network.

I've been using a Pi with my DUO² for about a week (since my bedroom box went tits up) works great with XBMC (or OPENELEC)
TV remote even controls it and when using the DUO²'s transcoder you don't have to buy the MPEG2 plugin either

[grahammcm1888]

Yeah xbmc with a pi or equivalent would be an option . Just thought it would be good to get the tunerserver plugin working with no need for additional hardware.

Ok guys I took the plunge and got a Pi. I set it up last night and installed the enigma 2 client addon. Initially everything looked ok. Connection was made and the epg started to transfer(this took nearly an hour) then the channel list. However when I selected a channel from the epg sometimes instead of video appearing I got a visualisation(with audio) then the Pi would crash. I tried this a number of times but every time the Pi connected to the duo2 it took ages for the epg transfer and would crash when selecting a channel. My first thoughts were the power supply(currently have 5v@1amp) so I have ordered a new supply(5v@2amp) which will be arriving on Wednesday. Has anyone experienced any of these issues before and if so what was the solution? By the way I see what you mean about the remote control marty !! Lol

Have you considered signing up to an xbmc forum, although I'm sure there is plenty of users on here, you will find specialists on other forums that will know how to overcome any issues you face.

[grahammcm1888]

Never thought of that tbh. I am hoping that when the new psu arrives tomorrow that will rectify the issue. If not I am going to try a fresh install of openelec/xbmc and see where that takes me.
