IPTV Player E2 plugin

It works on mipsel and SH4 platforms!

The plugin can give you, for instance, FilmOn (UK Live, with BBC, ITV, Ch4 etc.) and much, much more, in terms of IPTV!

I use it with SmartDNS service (cheap!!! [you can even get it all encrypted via a proxy server with VPN in various countries]) to get the UK IP address and it works (Smart DNS Proxy + SmartVPN + VPN):

Put the .ipk in /tmp folder of your E2 STB and install the usual way, then go to Plugins and start the IPTV Player > Update the plugin to the latest version first!

When you choose, for example, the Web Stream section and go to FilmOn, for instance > UK Live TV > (blue button) More > Set Active Movie Player > if you have a good IT provider/fast connection choose "[internal] without buffering" > I usually choose low bitrate but you can try high, too, see if it works... That is, actually clumsily named "External Player 3" (smaller than Gstreamer, easier on the memory) and it works, generally speaking....

Latest version, updatable from the plugin itself, is 70.00.04.00.











P.S. I can't attach anything, so have a look on the net, search for it on OpenPLi forum, satforum.me and so on...

One may need an additional, textwrap.pyo file, which you can find where you may find the plugin...

Place it in /usr/lib/python2.7 - then, restart E2 and update!

It works!

I tested it on Ferrari 500 HD with PBNIGMA 3.01 by Delfi, on 70.00.05.00 version. The results are phenomenal!

I am tempted to call it a "VLC of Enigma2" - it plays anything thrown at it!

Heavy-duty hight bitrate 1080p + DTS mkv file goes without a hitch! One can't FF or RW but it works where it matters most! For instance...

FF and RW work fine in various avi files, mp4 etc. Not to mention that it all flies! VOB/TS files, also!

Mind, I would recommend using Enigma's built-in DVD Player for DVDs, of course - but even that works...

Oh: I can see the change from "Internal" to "External", finally... Reduces confusion...

Btw, this is on top on IPTV streaming working really well, even without buffering, on FilmOn > Live UK > BBC4 etc.

In a new version the author added External Gstreamer Player and more...

Update, then choose which player has priority - blue button!

RAM footprint is smaller now and...

Enjoy!

What to do to get the most of your STB's IPTV capacity

1) How to install ffmpeg - for both SH4 and MIPSEL platforms

SH4 (STi 7111/7162 processors, i.e. Alien 1/2, for instance) commands in Telnet:



MIPSEL platform, mostly Broadcom processors (most of our STBs)



=====to check the ffmpeg version in your STB=====



Now, you will be able to install External Player 3, which uses considerably less resources!

SamSamSam says:

"Please do not use standard player, standard and internal players based on E2 and I can not fix E2 player.

Please use external gstplayer (or external eplayer3 if you have box with SH4 CPU) in buffering mode.

You can change player under blue button."

So, now:

2) Install IPTV Player plugin via Telnet commands (if you do not have it in your image's feeds (Plugins > Download plugins > Extensions)



3) When you start the plugin (IPTV Player) you will need to continue with some additional installations

Keep:
-confirming all the suggestions, during the installation, which will also guide you to -installing the External Player 3 or External Gstplayer (once the installation finds ffmpeg in your Enigma2) and then
-update the plugin; after that
-configure it carefully (where to send buffering or where to record, how to deal with External Player 3 - render AAC sound via SW etc.).

4) Before choosing an IPTV channel (say, in Web Stream > FilmOn > BBC1, for instance) or what to playback over home network (Media section), one can choose the preferred player, using the blue button menu! With or without buffering etc.

5) For developers, to include the latest in your images

Repo:
https://gitlab.com/iptvplayer-for-e2/iptvplayer-for-e2

Last version with source code:
http://iptvplayer.vline.pl/download/update/latest.pythonX.X.tar.gz

6) Known issues, as of right now

SH4 version is more advanced and covers more codecs! However, fewer codecs are supported by Mipsel version of ffmpeg/ExtPlayer 3, when IPTV Player v. 82.01.01.00 was published (these may change over time, of course!):

- AAC
- AC3
- MP3
- MPEG
- MPEG2
- H264

Good luck!

A comprehensive "how to"...



Enjoy!
