Design tip: move the time further to the left so that it falls within the shaded area.
the date needs more space between the day of the week and the day of the month.

Not available for dreamOS?

Please fix for youtube video...
Last night, YouTube videos stopped working.
-
It is installed but it is not entered,
Note: I have Pyhton 2.7
What skin is that?
-
Some club symbols are transparent and others are opaque: would it be possible to standardise them? I prefer the opaque ones, as I think they are more legible in the plugin skin.

With version 15.7.r1 and old configs Sky De icam channels are not cleared. I use DM Two with AIO image & stream relay plugin. Everything worked with version 15.6.
Show your settings to help others.

Vu+Solo2 Ncam 15.7 with softcsa is supposed sky de 😍
Please note that SoftCSA only works with some Open images; DreamOS images do not support this type of ‘decoding’ for Sk* DE. You must continue to use StreamRelay.

Try using an FHD skin.

Dou you use a FHD skin?

Here more 2 files .. Test and send logs
With these two, it does not automatically return to the satellite channel. I have to select it manually.

According to chatgpt:
QuoteDisplay MoreTechnical Summary – Audio Issues on Dreambox Two (Amlogic / DreamOS 2.6)
We have investigated this in depth and the behaviour is consistent with the audio architecture of DreamOS on Amlogic-based boxes (Dreambox One / Two / Seven).
1. Why it worked “sometimes”
Audio appearing to work on several videos in a row is not reliable behaviour.
This happens when:
-
the selected stream is progressive (muxed audio+video), or
-
the pipeline never actually opens a real ALSA audio sink.
As soon as a true DASH stream with a separate audio track is played (e.g. Twitter/X, or some YouTube formats), GStreamer attempts to open ALSA directly.
On Amlogic DreamOS, ALSA is exclusively owned by Enigma2, so this fails.
After this failure, the pipeline often remains in a broken internal state, which explains why:
-
the same videos may later play without audio
-
behaviour appears random, but is actually state-dependent
This is expected and reproducible.
2. Why this differs from Dreambox 900/920
Older Dreamboxes (Broadcom-based):
-
had a different DVB audio pipeline
-
provided
dvbaudiosinkand looser integration between GStreamer and Enigma2 -
tolerated external audio playback in plugins
Dreambox Two (Amlogic):
-
has strict ALSA exclusive access
-
no
dvbaudiosink -
Enigma2 is the only valid audio owner
-
external audio playback is unsupported by design
This is a platform architectural change, not a plugin bug.
3. DASH with separate audio is not supported in plugins
On DreamOS Amlogic:
-
MoviePlayer cannot accept separate audio/video URLs
-
plugins cannot sync external audio
-
GStreamer audio playback conflicts with Enigma2
Therefore:
-
DASH (separate audio/video) is inherently incompatible
-
progressive (muxed) streams work reliably
-
Twitter/X will always break audio (no muxed streams)
4. Correct and stable approach
The only stable solution is:
-
hand over a single muxed stream to Enigma2’s MoviePlayer
-
or implement automatic fallback to a progressive stream when DASH is detected
This is exactly how stable plugins avoid audio issues on Dreambox Two.
5. Key conclusion
QuoteAudio “sometimes working” does not indicate partial support.
It indicates undefined behaviour until ALSA is inevitably accessed and fails.
For Amlogic DreamOS, this limitation is fundamental and unavoidable.
