Ok as curioustv keeps requesting an Acestream player I thought I would bring this old plugin from PCD back to life.
** Note this plugin streams from your PC to your satellite box. Its not a standalone player **
I have stripped down the code and made it work on python 3.
I haven't done much with the skin. Its very basic.
But there isn't actually much wrong with this code from 7 years ago.
To clarify the instructions
Download Acestream player (you don't need to remove VLC player)
https://www.acestream.org/?page=products
In acestream player
Tools -> Preferences -> All -> Interfaces -> Main Interfaces -> Select Web -> Exit
Amend acestreamplayer's host file
Find the path of acestream player by right clicking on the Ace player icon. Mine is (for example) -
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\ACEStream\player\ace_player.exe
in explorer go to your acestream player folder.
C:\Users\[user]c\AppData\Roaming\ACEStream\player\
then
C:\Users\[user]c\AppData\Roaming\ACEStream\player\lua\http
edit .hosts
adding your sat boxes ip address
i.e.192.168.1.99
Reboot computer (important)
----
Install plugin AcestreamPlayer (attached).
Start plugin. Config - Insert PC ip address.
PC IP address can be found via a command prompt
ipconfig
Change the location of your acestream url list.
Default location /media/hdd.
Add your list
Save config and Restart enigma. (important)
Open acestream player on your PC.
Open plugin on your box.
Click OK userlist to load your list. Click a channel to play
Example acestreams list found on the internet is attached. (not all will play - i tested a few)
I can't offer any support for this and I have no plans to do any further work on it.
I just thought I would get it working. Although there is very little error catching going on. So it may crash.
Enjoy. Original credit goes to pcd. Its his plugin.
