Enigma2 support for Plex DVR/LiveTV!

hard to tell what is going on with your channels, I have at least their names always visible.
My script

  1. takes the channels from http://dm7080:6083/lineup.json
  2. then downloads EPG for each reference
    for example http://dm7080/web/epgbouquet?bRef=1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET “userbouquet.plex__tv_.tv” ORDER BY bouquet
  3. puts it all together into the resulting XML.

There is IMHO no more data available on the web interface, at least not in the official DreamOS image. So I can’t add the picons into the resulting XML.

I would recommend to create a special Bouqet for the Plex and start with few channels and see where the names and numbers get lost.

Have fun!

Hello

It seems the webif for both the images might be different.

I am using Openvix image on my vu solo which when you click on channel shows a image and also the channel name.

If you get a change can you please try you seeing same issue on mobile device.

Thanks

I get the channel list from the HRtunerProxy, there is unfortunately no information about picons at least not in my case. It might be because I don’t use them, but it could also be because HRtunerProxy don’t need to work with them.
You can download the lineup.json and check what it looks like in your case.
Just adjust the URL, instead dm7080 put your box hostname or IP or you can check the folder where you have my script and look on the file self.

I guess I see now what you mean, I have recently received an update of the Plex app on my Android and I can’t see the Channel names anymore.
I am not sure what is going on and if we can fix it.
It might be a bug, but It also might be some planned change of the API.
I have also a pending update on my server, I will try to update it and we will see.

EDIT: I have just updated the server to the latest 1.18.0.1944 version and on PC I can still see the number and name of the channels, but on my Android I can’t see any of it. I guess there is a bug in the mobile app.

bye

You can report it there too.

Hi

Thanks for checking, I though it might be related to one image in particular but seems like you have the same issue on mobile device.

If you do manage to figure it out do let us know.

Thanks

Yep you are right I can see the numbers too. Although it’s still missing channel names, hopefully will be resolved at some point.

Thanks

Hello,
since some days my VU+ zero does not work anymore with Plex.
It started with missing some channels. --> Now, Plex does not find the VU+ zero at all.

Trying to add the box manually with its IP http://192.168.178.44:6083 gives the message: “Error occured while adding”
The auto search does not find anything at all.

Does anyone know what to do?

thx.
Eugene

Manual copy should work on any e2 image. Whether it is in the openatv repo is beyond my knowledge as I don’t run openatv.

721

How did you manage to find the tuner?
I have the same problem. → just sits there with a spinning circle.

hmmm ok. I had the same issue yesterday.
The device was visible, but there was not button to edit the channels. Like in your screenshot.
Today plex doesn’t find the box at all.

724

I have the same problem since 2 weeks…

726

I personally gave up on this and switched to xteve. HRTunerProxy is not actively developed anymore and does not reliably work.

You can simply export your bouquets as m3u8 playlists via OpenWebIF of your e2 stb and import these playlists into xteve, which you run on any device that you have lying around at home (NAS, pi, server etc.).

728

Xteve does the same as HRTunerProxy, it emulates a silicon dust tuner to use whatever playlist with Plex Live TV.

730

It isn’t installed on the e2 stb:

Maybe you can even run it on enigma2, haven’t tried that but I wouldn’t bet on that.

732

Probably, yes.

734

Yes I run it on my NAS.

736

“hopefully will be resolved at some point.”

You can hope they will do it for me, or you can reply to that thread and ask them too.

Sorry if I gave the impression that you can, because you can’t :wink:

739

Strong statement, I won’t help you in the future then. What I tried to do is give you an alternative that reliably streams the channels from your e2 box. Sorry about that, I am out.
