Did something change in the ordering of the channels the plugin presents to Plex?
Short story long, my PMS started crashing constantly yesterday (crashed seconds after startup), still clueless as to why. In my efforts to get it to work I uninstalled the plugin (which made no difference). Today, my PMS started happily without crashing (no changes made, no idea why it suddenly works), so i re-installed the plugin. Plex says āDevice not foundā which is not solved by restarting PMS, but it starts recording things on schedule. However, it will record on the wrong channel. If I click āAdd Deviceā it will find my box, and my channels, but the suggested channel mapping is completely off.
On a seperate note, I have a Miraclebox Premium Twin, so it has two tuners. However, when I start the plugin, it says itās a single tuner box so make sure itās off, etc, but on the next screen it says 2 tuners. When scheduling recordings it looks like PMS thinks itās a single tuner box, since it will say recordings conflict when there are only two. Itās a bit confusing.
Hmm, I can see now that the channel ordering is that of the āLast scannedā bouquet. When I first added my box, the suggested channel mapping was very good. Some channels were missing, but at least 90% hit rate. Iāll try some more things, including removing the box from Plex (which Iām hesitant to do since it took a long time filtering the channels). Where is the logfile located, if it should be required?

lets take this in stages, what image are you using?, how are you scanning channels ? are you using a pre made bouquet list or a scanner that uses the proper list order like ABM ?.
as for Miraclebox I would need to see a log, but by 2 tuners they both have to be of same type.

Thanks for a fast reply!
what image are you using?
OpenViX 5.0.020 (2017-06-23)
how are you scanning channels ?
The latest scan was Automatic scan
are you using a pre made bouquet list or a scanner that uses the proper list order like ABM ?.
I donāt know what those things are. I made my bouquets myself in the BouquetEditor in OpenWebif after I scanned for channels. So my box has my three user bouquets and āFavourites (TV)ā and āLast Scannedā.
as for Miraclebox I would need to see a log, but by 2 tuners they both have to be of same type.
Tuner A DVB-C NIM (DVB-C)
Tuner B DVB-C NIM (DVB-C)
I donāt know how to produce a log, sorry. I followed the steps here: Create Enigma2 log file ā Gemini-Wiki but all I got was
root@mbtwin:~# init 5 && sleep 15 && enigma2.sh
[Enigma2] PYTHONPATH: /usr/lib/enigma2/python
[Enigma2] DVB_API_VERSION 5 DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR 6
ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4
[MAIN] executing main
enigma2 is the main pvr application⦠adjust oom score!

I let the plugin create the files, but nothing was logged. /home/root/logs is empty, and nothing relevant in /var/log/messages
ok since your your using OpenViX this is easy, in Service Searching select AutomaticBouquetMaker, and choose your provider (FreeView, FreeSat, etc) setup region etc, and start a scan, this will create the channel list for you.
just a heads up for those of you with multiple tuner types in your box, am coding it so you can now choose what tuner type to allow plex to see (as only one is supported anyway), because of this you maybe need to āUpdateā your files using the green button after you have chosen your tuner type.
hello again Iāve transferred the latest version folder /usr/Iib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins and then rebooted after this I go to plugins and get the message
some plugins are not available:
extensions/movieorganisor (list index out of range)
and when I look via putty the folder PlexDVRAPI is missing
also when downloaded and unzipped I have PlexDVRAPI-master directory do I copy this to /usr/Iib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins and just remove -master ?

TIA
you need to rename the src folder to PlexDVRAPI and transfer just this to /usr/Iib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins. so /usr/Iib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/PlexDVRAPI

Iām from Sweden, and the only providers I can see is Kabel (NL), Virgin (UK) and Virgin IE. Looked around for a bit, but I donāt think there exists an ABM (now I understand what that means) provider for ComHem in Sweden. Whatās weird is that the first time I set this up, the channel matching was really good. I donāt know if it is Plex or the plugin that changed, or both.
Hmm, or maybe something changed on the box? There is an āofficial channel numberingā from my provider that is overridden/ignored. I can of course do the mapping by hand, but itās not always obvious which shortname from the guide is which channel on the box.

Iāll get one of my E2 team (openvix) to connect you, see if we canāt get one made, if you are willing to help with some data from your stream ?
Oh, well that sounds awesome! Iām willing to provide whatever is needed, as long as I understand what to do I did a factory reset of the box and am in the middle of an automatic scan (which takes ages) to see if it makes a difference.
