  • need a good plugin

    found this too will play later when i have time





    What can you play with this plugin?
    - The rtp/udp/http IPTV must be DVB-IP conform
    - Only Non-DRM/ Non-CA (unscrambled) SD/HD Streams work with this approach
    - SD/HD Streams in h.264 or MPEG2 work with this approach
    - Stream starts to play < 1 Sec., zapping less then 1 Sec.


    Introduction:
    For a long time I try to find a proper solution on the e2, to get SD and HD IPTV streams running. With GStreamer IPTV streams work too, but unfortunatly not reliable and stable.
    I´ve tested really a lot. With the presented solution you can enjoy DVB-IP conform IPTV streams in a clean, stable and fast way on your e2 dreambox. Nothing crashes or stucks the streams while playing them.


    Multicast or Unicast streams and the used trick:
    Before I try to explain how it works, you should inform yourself about multicast and unicast. I´m sure google will help you.
    The used trick is a small linux binary called "udpxy". This is a small proxy converting the udp/rtp multicast packets into http unicast one, wihtout creating heavy load on your machine.
    The dream can also handle real multicast streams, but completly instable, my opinion. Http unicast works absolut perfect, therefore this small workaround makes fully sense.
    Another important advantage is that udpxy handles the IGMP v2 koin/leave protocol reliable. Further, if you would use multicast in your home network, this would flood your LAN clients with useless traffic.
    To avoid this I start udpxy on my router (WAN Gateway). Having converted the IPTV multicast streams to unicast, the "Remote TV" lib of Dr.Best will process the DVB-IP conform streams as you know it from usal DVB-S-T-C receiption.


    Prerequisites to run this plugin:
    - Uptodate OE 1.6 Image
    - Uptodate "Partnerbox/RemoteTV Plugin" MUST BE installed, because a lib of this plugin is used. (webtots.so)


    Handling of already existing http unicast streams:
    If you have already http:// unicast streams (e.g. origin dreambox streams), you don´t need to start udpxy! Just proceed with point A5, and create your *.m3u as described below, and copy it into etc/videostreams folder.


    Handling of udp/rtp multicast streams: e.g. udp://239.12.14.133:4000 oder rtp://239.15.66.133:8888
    With Udpxy [http---------://sourceforge.net/projects/udpxy/].
    Start udpxy on your dreambox or your router, to be able for converting multicast into unicast. Find below how to start.


    Udpxy is started in this way via telnet:


    ./udpxy -p 4050


    -p 4050 -> this means on Port 4050 you will catch the converted unicast packets from udpxy.


    Simple instruction how to proceed:
    A1. Download udpxy.mipsel here attached and upload it to usr/bin
    A2. Rename it to udpxy"
    A3. Give the right rights chmod 755
    A4. Start via telnet udpxy in this way "udpxy -p 4050 &"
    A5. Create your *.m3u with links as shown below, and upload the m3u to etc/videostreams (these links are expamples, no streams available on this URLs)

    IPTV Player Plugin installation and handling:


    Download the attached zip file and decompress it. The Streamer folder upload to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions. Give the files inside the right rights 755.
    Restart your dreambox (don´t forget to start udpxy if did a reboot...). You should find the "IPTV Player" in extensions, open it. Each *.m3u file in etc/videostreams you should see as a kind of bouquet.
    Select one and press ok, then you will find the links of your m3u. Select a TV service and the stream should be displayed on your TV screen.
    The navigation is simple, with exit you leave the folder or the and the end the plugin. With OK you open the folder, With Up/Down you can zap within a folder from stream to stream and back.


    The IPTV Player plugin is based upon the DMvidsDirect Plugin of PCD. He has modded the come to the IPTV Player plugin.



    BIG thanks to Dr.Best for his great Remote TV plugin, and to PCD who made the final version of IPTV Player.

    Quote from Banny

    Did it tune into IPTV or did it look something like


    funny you said that i have one but it says google uk how strange.
    of cause i looked at google but i cant find any think like the one i saw i found nplayer but found it a pig to set up and was wondering if anyone knows of a good plugin.


    have found this but can some one please break it down a little im a bit loss.


    IPTV on Dreambox, VU+, Xtrend and Clarke-Tech receivers


    My recommendation is that you start using OpenPLi image which supports IPTV on these receivers:
    1. All Dreambox supporting Enigma 2 (800, 800HD, 500HD, 8000, 7020HD, perhaps 7025)
    2. ClarkeTech / Xtrend ET-5×00, ET-6×00, ET-9×00
    3. VU + UNO, DUO, SOLO, ULTIMO


    Udpxy is also essential part of this and it can be installed on PC, router (if you have Tomato capable router, please consider installing Toastman Tomato mod. This mod already has udpxy installed!) or satellite receiver. Udpxy converts multicast to unicast and and it enables you to use IPTV on all your home devices (mobile phones, PCs, nootebooks, tablets, etc.). I assume you already have udpxy installed, so i wont go further in details here.


    Lets move on. You will now need these:
    1. Notepad ++ editor
    2. FTP program (WinSCP, FileZilla, FTP is also included in Dream Control Center program – DCC)
    3. DCC-E2 1.41
    4. Channel list of IPTV streams that are converted in Enigma2-friendly streams


    Now run the DCC program and enter password, username and IP address of the receiver. Username is root and there IS NO password if you are using OpenPLi!!. Once you are successfully connected to your receiver, search for word “Telnet” on the left side of DCC. Then type “init 4″ into console. Now you can use FTP to transfer IPTV channel list to the folder /var/etc/enigma2/. When finished, enter “init 3″. The receiver will reset and the channel list should be seen.


    How does Enigma2-friendly stream looks like? Here it is:
    #SERVICE 1:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//127.0.0.1%3a1234/udp/239.1.1.115%3a5000
    #DESCRIPTION BBC


    Bolded numbers are IP and PORT used by udpxy program. If you have udpxy installed on the satellite receiver than you should leave 127.0.0.1, but if you have udpxy installed on PC or router, you must change IP (IP should match IP of the router or PC). 1234 is default udpxy port. If you are using different port, change this to something different of course. “/udp/239.1.1.115%3a5000″ is IP and port number of a IPTV channel. Every channel has different IP. Port is usually the same for all channels, but not always. It depends on your IPTV provider. EPG doesnt work on these channels because service reference is the same for all channels: “1:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:” Service reference can be changed though but this requires too much work!


    If you only want to stream between receivers, please use this handy plugin: remotestreamconvert. Its very lightweight plugin and it comes handy when you have following situation:
    1. Primary receiver with 8 satellites
    2. Secondary receiver with only 4 satellites


    Now you can watch channels from other 4 satellites on your secondary receiver!
