Hi all,

Does anyone have a working image that supports IPTV (xtreme plugin) and it works on the AA2+ box? I'm looking to flash my box and give IPTV a go but cannot find an image that seems to work well with Xtreme.

I gave up with that and sold mine and bought a mag 256 last week for iptv.u won't be disappointed If u buy it. Brilliant box by a mile I think

I hear ya - my intention is to use the AA2 as a box for the kids room. As long as I can get xtreme working on an E2 image then happy days.

Too much hassle I gave up in the end very slow and unresponsive. It's a old box now and getting to stream hd on iptv will be a struggle for it.i have 2 amiko alien 1 boxes I just use for free view in kids room connected up to my nas for downloaded videos and my music so they watch and listen anytime.ive iptv working perfectly on my edison OS mini in sitting room and mag 256 in kitchen with no problems whatsoever

I had it running on Hyperion 5.5 and it wasn't too bad to be honest, not perfect but watchable, think these boxes havnt got the power for anything other than basic satellite receiving which I suppose is all they were made for

It's only 7.5% now, just had a look and you can get the mag 256 delivered to your door for €90, not bad and something I might look into

Hi, any chance you have a copy of the image of the 5.5 that you had working?

I don't have a back up of 5.5 but I put one up a while back of 5.4. Should be the same I'm sure http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057378184/1/#post94224163

Cheers, will give it a go, can the IPTV plugin be downloaded directly or do I have to install the ipk manually . I tried installing it on my hyperion 4.5 and it doesnt work. not really sure hot to install properly so maybe I did it wrong

I had to manually install the file. Think I used dreambox control centre to send it to the box but I got instructions on which exact location to send it to and I can't remember now

Gave that box a quick google and it actually runs on enigma 2 and there are lots of lads using open atv on them. The likes of the ram is a lot less than the mag 256 though

what plugin are you using for IPTV? Either way, if it's an ipk file it's simple to install. The way I do it is via FTP. I FTP into the box and place the ipk file in the /tmp (or temp) folder. Then within enigma I install it via the blue panel. E2 picks up the ipk file automatically, by default it looks there for ipk files to install.

Yep that's how I installed it, it's xtreamtv but it's not available in the download plugins menu

Guys,

Just to update all the old Amiko Alien and Cloudi box users. I have been messing around with a couple of the boxes for the last few months with only limited results so I tried one of the pay IPTV plugins on both boxes and you would not believe the difference.

Even the old Amiko Alien with its STI 450Mhz processor worked a treat and the CloudI was nigh on perfect.

Now I only took a trail off the provider but the quality and ease of use was very impressive had all the epg info to.

Its a pity the guys who work on the non pay stuff can't do something similar.

So the message is don't chuck them as you may still find a use for them.

Cheers Martin

1GB ram and Android 4.2. I'd avoid.

I don't think Kodi 17 will even run on Android 4.2.

Anyone having issues downloading plugins on hyperion 4.5?
When i try, it takes several minutes, but fails. In the text, it suggests updating opkg.

4.5 has been around a long time. They are now up to Hyperion 5.5 That said I'm running 4.5 on one box and still find it one of the better versions.

Agree.
I re flashed the image during the week, as the box was running a bit slow, and it was only when I went to download a plugin, that I came across the issue. And it is true for skins, emu, or anything through the pkt portal it seems. So I don't know if its on the pkteam side, or if they are not supporting this build any more or if it's something my side.

Slevster

Just a follow up...
I re flashed with a different version of 4.5 , but with the same result. Couldn't download plugins, when I ran the network test in the blue panel , it was slow to respond, and resulted in "bad address 'pl.pkt.com' (may have that address wrong).
So I flashed version 5.2, which I had built sometime last year, and all worked.
Strange.

would be interested to hear from those running 4.5, to see what they get if they run the network test in the blue panel.

Lads I'm planning on buying a mag 256 this weekend for iptv and keeping the Sab with the 3 tuners for the missus to watch and record all her FTA channels. Is there a combo type box out there that could be guaranteed to do all of this without issue? Budget would only be €200 ish tops

ZGemma, (H2, H5, H7 etc.), you can have satellite, terrestrial and IPTV all combined, even seamlessly in the same channel bouquets.

Are you using one yourself at the moment?
After some googling the h7 sounds tasty but I'm struggling to find it for sale anywhere

I have a H2 and H5, nice boxes for the prices and handle IPTV with ease.

H7 can be found here;

If I picked up a twin satellite receiver am I correct in thinking there is some way to add a terrestrial input through a USB port? To receive HD saoirview
