Remote control

Can we run this app on the iPhone's iOS version as well?

I use the Define Display on my Octagon for IPTV.

I am unable to search for the Joy Remote name of this app because I live in an Asian country.

There is no need to download any application on your mobile phone. I will give you detailed instructions on how to do it.

1. Extract the file ZouRemote.tar.gz and place its contents into a folder named ZouRemote.

2. Connect to your box via FTP and copy the folder to the path /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions (fig. 1). Restart Enigma.

3. On the next startup, you need to go to the Plugin Browser to activate ZouRemote.

Since you don’t have a physical remote control, you will use a virtual one from your computer.

Open your web browser and enter your box’s IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.222 in my case).

Using the virtual remote, select: Menu → Plugin Browser (down arrow) → OK → ZouRemote → OK.

Press the Green button to activate the plugin (fig. 2). If nothing changes, press the Green button again (fig. 3).

Press Exit-Exit-Exit to return to the main screen and then go to Menu → Standby/Restart → Restart GUI.

After the next restart, the plugin will be active and ready to receive commands.

4 On your mobile phone, open your favorite browser and enter your box’s IP along with port 1991 (e.g., 192.168.1.222:1991 in my case).

You can now use it as a remote control (fig. 4).

I have a wireless mouse (Logitech M305) with a USB dongle, but I had never connected it to the sf8008 because the enigma GUI does not support a mouse.

There are some applications that do support a mouse, such as Web browsers, Kodi, YouTube, etc., where you cannot really use them without it.

Enigma does support wireless mice. It recognizes them without requiring any additional configuration — you just plug in the USB dongle and it’s ready to use.

The following images are from the YouTubeTV plugin.

The screen of the octagon SF 8008 box can be used with a computer.

You can watch on your PC the channel that is displayed on your TV through your local network using VLC Media Player.

* In your web browser, open the Webif of the sf8008 by entering the receiver’s address (in my case http://192.168.1.222/). See fig. 1.

* Go to the "Bouquets" tab, open the bouquet, and select the channel that is playing on your TV.

* Click the TV icon next to the channel you want and save the file (Das Erste HD.m3u8 in my case).

* Open the file with VLC Media Player. You will have video and audio of the selected channel. See fig. 2 and 3.

* You can download the entire bouquet (TV icon), but only the channels on the same transponder will play.

* If you change to a channel from VLC that belongs to a different transponder, you will also need to change it on the TV.

Can another remote be paired with the Octagon SF 8008 box

Thank you for this useful plugin. After a reboot I needed to re-activate the plugin. Is it possible for the plugin to remain activated once it is activated, for example, after a reboot? Thks.
