Enigma2 support for Plex DVR/LiveTV!

Thanks for all your help @andyblac1974 .
Next time I know where to look. :slight_smile:

@Master of Tragedy which EPG Provider did you use now?

I also have the problem that the Dreambox DM920 DVB-S2X FBC Tuner is treated by Plex as a cable tuner (latest Plex Pass version 1.13.0.5023).

@Cleaner_2000 I think I’m just using Sky now.

@thomas991 Cable tuner seems to be normal and can’t be changed. But it doesn’t matter much anyway.

@Master of Tragedy I have now tried Unitymedia and I think that you can find everything except for a few Sky Sport HD channels. Unfortunately no Europort HD Extra :frowning:

@ā€œMaster of Tragedyā€ Thanks, it worked with port 6083.
But I have a new problem, in Plex comes an error message and I can not edit the channels.

In the hrtunerproxy.log spam the same message again and again:

....

and sometimes comes:

2018-05-11 18:56:18,982 INFO Mrobelix-DS.fritz.box "GET /lineup.json HTTP/1.0" 200 -
2018-05-11 18:56:58,101 INFO Mrobelix-PC.fritz.box "GET /device.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 -
2018-05-11 18:57:25,955 INFO Mrobelix-DS.fritz.box "GET /lineup.json HTTP/1.0" 200 -

it not spam, thats PMS checking that the tuner is online, once it working you don’t need debug just disable it, and another device detecting the tuner, and requesting the info.

not sure why PMS is losing tuner as it is clearly probing it, I would need to see a main PMS log.

regarding editing channels, there is a long standing bug that for some reason channel edit does not work all the time.

Hey @andyblac1974

For testing purposes, is there any possibility with your plugin to make Plex get the stream from the e2 box on port 8002 ? I think it defaults to 8001 (original quality stream).
I got a Uno4K and would like to try port 8002 to get the transcoded stream from the sat receiver (it does quite a good job deinterlacing sat video streams).

Thanks !

grab the source file here https://github.com/OpenViX/HRTunerProxy/blob/master/plugin/getLineup.py#L201 and change the port number on the line highlighted, and upload to your box.

Great, thanks for the tip !

I have no sound with this method :frowning:

Hi,
I have problem recording. It records everything from 20 seconds to 90% of the recording. Sometimes is the whole thing recorded, but very seldom. I don“t take away commercials although I tried that from the beginning.
I also tested with Telly, for IPTV and that works great (both are on the same computer).

I have checked and I have at least 500 Mbps steady between my VuSolo2 and where I have the Windows 10 based Plex server.

  1. My guess is that it has nothing to do with HRTunerProxy, could someone confirm if that is right please.
  2. I would be grateful If someone could point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this because I have googled a lot and can just find problems where the recording doesn’t work at all, and that is not my problem.

if you can get me a PMS log of it happening I will try to go through it and see if I see anything, just give the log and a time of recording, I’ll see if I see anything, but you’re most likely correct in assuming a PMS issue, else LiveTV would also be doing the same.

Thank you very much for your offer. My Vu+Solo2 is not connected right now because I am testing IPTV.
I will reconnect my decoder and learn how to get hold of the PMS log and probably take you up on your offer in a week or two :slight_smile:

Does 8002 port work with Openatv? Enigma Web interface plays transcoded streams using 8001 port and set bitrate but Plex does start streams when using 8002.

What folder does this need to be uploaded to?

And for anyone using the transcoded stream does it speed up the starting of streams for the likes of apple tv which cannot direct play mpeg2?

cheers

here /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/HRTunerProxy/ upload the py, restart e2 then try a stream, and then remove the py leaving the pyo.

Hi!
Just new to this stuff :slight_smile: Bought a new Samsung TV last week with PLEX-Client installed. I want to switch from my external nVidia Shield with installed Kodi to Plex und Live-TV and DVR. Currently, I’m using DVBViewer Media Server with OSCAM (on Pi 2) (Kabel Deutschland) and Kodi for Live-TV and it’s working fine.

I’ve just ordered a new VU+ 4k Uno with FBC-Tuner to have 8 channels and after some reading it is possible to use the box with plex, but I don’t know if it will also use the softcam of the vu+ so I can view all encrypted channels using plex?

As mentioned, I’m on DVB-C with a G09-Smartcard which should work fine in the vu+. But as far as I understand, the plugin just exposes the TS-Streams to the PLEX so I’m afraid the encrypted channels won’t work?!

Thanks for any clarification :slight_smile:

if you can view the channels from the Vu+ box, then yes they will view / record via plex, as plex just pulls the channels TS to plex.

so if install the softcam on your box, and setup all the need configs for the box to clear the channels I don’t any reason why it would not work.

Ok, I’m asking because using the DVBViewer Media Server with PLEX will not bring up the encrypted channels. PLEX recognizes these channels as encrypted and won’t let me select it. Maybe I’m doing anything wrong, but don’t think so. The DVBViewer and KODI can show these encrypted channels fine…
