CiefpVideoPlayer 1.5

CiefpVideoPlayer v1.5

- WebcamPlayer plugin

New functionality description

WebcamPlayer is a new component in CiefpVideoPlayer v1.5 that allows viewing

and playback of webcam streams from existing Enigma2 userbouquet files.

What's new?

Automatic webcam bouquet recognition - The plugin automatically detects all userbouquet files containing webcams

recognizes them by file names such as:

- userbouquet.web_cam____prenj___.tv,

- userbouquet.ciefpsettings_iptv_webcam.tv

- or any file containing the word "webcam" or "prenj")

Support for multiple stream formats - Works with:

#SERVICE 5002:... (exteplayer3)

#SERVICE 4097:... (standard Enigma2 player)

#SERVICE 1:... (classic services)

Two playback modes:

Single play - plays only one webcam

Playlist play - plays all webcams in order (automatic switching)

Mini player with automatic switching - When a playlist is started, a small transparent player appears at the top of the screen that displays:

Currently playing webcam

Next webcam in sequence

Countdown to the next camera

Camera number (e.g. "Camera: 5 of 120")

Playback controls:

OK button - pauses automatic switching

▲/▼ buttons - manually switch to the previous/next camera

EXIT button - exit the playlist

Adjustable duration

- The user can set how many seconds each webcam will be displayed before automatically switching to the next one (15, 20, 25, 30, 40 or 60 seconds)

- Adjustable mini skin transparency - The transparency of the mini player can be set (20%, 30%, 50%, 80% or 100%)

How to start it?

There are two ways to start WebcamPlayer:

Using the GREEN button (Local) → select "Webcam Player" from the menu

Using the YELLOW button (Network) → select "Webcam Player" from the menu

Then a list of all found webcam bouquets is displayed, select the desired one and the main WebcamPlayer screen opens.

Automatic switching allows monitoring of multiple cameras without manual switching

YouTube links are automatically ignored (cannot be played via standard player)

Supports both old and new userbouquet file formats

Version

CiefpVideoPlayer v1.5 - WebcamPlayer plugin

Jun 2026.

.... CiefpVideoPlayer v1.4 ....

The new version brings significant improvements in network connectivity,

support for mobile devices and stability of working with subtitles.

What's new in version 1.4:

# New FTPBrowser: A completely new module for viewing and playing content directly from an FTP server.

# Android FTP support: Added optimization for connecting to Android devices via the FTP protocol,

enabling easy streaming of content from the phone to the receiver.

# Improved Autoscan: Fixed bugs and improved algorithm for automatic network scanning,

resulting in faster and more stable finding of available devices.

# More stable connection: Resolved problems with connection interruptions and optimized work with network protocols for smoother playback.

# Working with subtitles: Local subtitles: For files that run locally (USB, HDD),

the subtitle is loaded automatically provided that it has the same name as the video file (e.g. film.mkv and film.srt).

# Online Streams (OpenDirectory): Although v1.4 brings basic subtitle support,

for the best experience and advanced settings options on online streams,

it is still recommended to use external plugins:

- CiefpSRTPlayer (my external plugin specialized for SRT).

- SubsSupport

# Technical fixes: Optimized cleaning of /tmp folder after closing stream.

Fixed Attribute Error in certain menus that caused plugin to crash.

Removed unnecessary "skip reboot" options from the interface for a cleaner look.

Tested on Vu+ Zero 4K with OpenATV 7.6 image.
