    Youll need to purchase the codecs to get sd working , dont need them for hd but youll get a lot of break up,
    what I did was to make an Sd only bouquet and in the settings tell the plugin to only use 1 bouquet , that being the sd one obviously

    I am having little success with this. The pi keeps crashing when I attempt to start live tv. I have tried ports 8001 and 8002 with no success. Playing movies or recordings from the duo2 is working fine. The problem is the time it takes the epg data to download. I cant get playing about with the setting as it is taking an hour each time the pi hangs .

    You need to set the Epg to only download 1 day at a time, this will speed the process up for now. Raspberry Pi is a great device but of the cheap variety, somethings it will handle fantastically and others not so great.

    I use an Ouya for my pleasure, it handles everything really well however it is common that the Epg can take some time across all platforms to download, some faster than others. I always found it annoying having to wait for the Epg to download every time I turned my box on so just cut it down to 1 day at a time and no its completed with 1 minute.

    I had already set the pi to download the epg to download after 2880 hours (2days). The problem is when i have to reboot the epg download is started again. Marty what is your transcoding setup on your Duo2? And are you using the latest vix build as I am . I have read in some forums that the transcoding function does not work with the latest build (808 I think).

    Make sure you have Transcoding turned off on your Duo2. Had the same problem with LiveTV on my S4 phone.

    Transcoding can't be turned off (using the latest drivers and plugin): it's always enabled.

    No problem I am also at work!

    I presume that transcoding is always on on port 8001 and is preconfigured. I also assume that the transcoding feature in the transcoding plugin is for a secondary stream which you can define a port number within a range and set this stream up to your preferred config.

    How did you set that up , I've got a solo2 and to get sd streaming without any problem I had to buy the mpeg2 codec , it's only £2.40 , and streaming HD was sometimes unwatchable

    You can speed it up by saving the epg to the rpi and not selecting every single bouquet on your box

    Transcoding puts out .mp4 so MPEG2 isn't needed this thread is about the DUO² not sure but shouldn't the SOLO² do it too?

    So I need to stick the pi to 8002 and configure the options on the duo2 accordingly?
