For me the ideal XBMC OS would be a port of the Prismcube OS that could run E2 plugins as well as E2 does, whether or not that ever happens we'll have to wait and see...

Hi Rob,
XBMC is not only the nice looking media player. I agree there media player are not so bad in E2 but the charme of XBMC is the same as Enigma2. XBMC lives mainly because of thousands of plugins and there especially the scraper to get additional information and artwork for films and music. XBMC on a PC has its own ftp and telnet/ssh server perhaps you must activate them in XBMC.
@Sic
this would be also my dream XBMC with live TV and compatible also with E2 plugins. But I think this will never happen. I think we will not see PrismCube-OS on VU because VU is Mips and PrismCube is ARM afaik.
ciao

We are often reminded about how much fun this hobby is and for those of us who don't share this hobby with our kids or other halves and have total control of the remote it is. Is odd to hear negativity about what appears to be some hard work to get this plug in to beta stage. I would like to have a usable music player in my vix setup but YAMP doesn't work and Merlin/Idream is not very good so maybe this plug in will give some plus's and i will accept the minus's ( I am sure that sounds as odd as it looks). But whatever happens it will only enhance the enjoyment of my hobby
Using BH beta on Duo2, it takes approx 4 - 5 seconds to exit xbmc plugin back to E2 (it is only the first time you launch xbmc that it takes a while to exit, as it is storing files on hdd in the background).
I set a recording, and then launched into xbmc, played a couple of video streams, and then exited back into E2, and played back the recording, and it was just fine.
Both FTP and Telnet fully working when using XBMC or E2

Spent couple of hours trialing this out and impressed so far. Nothing like the xbmc plugins we have seen in the last year or so. In effect this is a near full xbmc. Scrapers work very effectively and after first run applies artwork to all of your recordings & movies. Weather etc work perfect. Addons I have tried have installed perfectly and streams work fine from these add-ons. The only main flaw I have had so far is the music player getting stuck but on restarting xbmc everything works fine. To exit xbmc takes approx 20 secs the first time and only about 2 seconds every time after that. Ftp and telnet both work fine as described previously and if you wish to add repositories etc you just Ftp them to the xbmc folder which gets created in your hdd. All in all for a beta this is excellent.

I have VU+ Solo and VU+ Duo, will there be a plugin for these please?
nope, its only for the latest vu machines, solose, solo2 and duo2.
Vu Ultimo4K, OpenViX 5.0, 8xdvb-c, 8xdvb-s2, 2xdvb-t2
Vu Solo4K, OpenViX 5.0, 8xdvb-s2
Dreambox DM900, OpenViX 5.0, 2xdvb-s2, 2xdvb-c/t2
Terrestrial, Cable, Fixed 28.2e + Unicable2 LNB
I use XBMC on a Raspberry Pi in a different room. I installed the VU Player addon to stream on the LAN from the Duo2.
I could install that same addon on Vu XBMC, point it to localhost (presuming E2 is still running) and then use xbmc for everything.
CPU will be running hotter then, I guess, since hardware graphics acceleration, won't be happening within xbmc on Vu?
did I see something about vixbmc in the latest updated?
I missed it as I pressed update while I was talking on phone (typical)
I cant see anything in plugins or in the image was I mistaken?
thanks
