Already tested and working on:
Vu+ Duo with Openvix 3.0
Gigablue Quad Openvix 3.0
Azbox HD Elite Openrsi 3.0

The licence is GNU v3. So, if any one has any python skills with Enigma2 and want to work on it, go right ahead.
You don't need my permission to copy, reproduce or distribute this.

I have no connection with RTE.

This is my first plugin for Enigma2. I am not a professional programmer, I did programming in college over ten years ago. So if you see something majorly wrong programming wise, please don't shot me.

I started this on Wednesday, while work was quiet. Hopefully I will have more time to put into this project, but no guarantees.

I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong with your satellite receiver by using this plugin.

Good work. Works on AZBox HD OpenRSI 2.1 also.

Will test on Vu Plus Ultimo using OpenVIX 3 shortly ( but if working on Duo then it should be fine )

This is a real addition to Enigma..

well done

I was only talking about this last week. Fair play.

I am going to give this a go on the Uno.

Update: Crashing on Blackhole 1.72 on play.

Dependencies ?

I would imagine You will need a more up to date image then that.

Not sure why this isn't work. Does it green screen?

Yep. I am just reading the crashlog now.

On Blackhole support for streaming didnt come until version 1.76 and later.

If you cannot update to this try Openpli.

I now have RTE player version2 running on 2 VU Duos running Vix3

and on a Clone Dreambox 800hd SE running openpli.

iggy · 05-01-2013 8:44pm

Tried this on my DM800se clone with TS image and it green screened.

I will try the latest alpha and see.
Would love to get this working.
Cheers

Just a post to say fair play to RogerThis for the plugin.

I'll try installing it tomorrow hopefully, it's nice to see some Irish-centric plugins!

Great work Rogerthis ,keep up the updates.

I tried the plugin on 2 different Dm800's but had no success with either one.
One box is running Dream Elite Phoenix 2 ,it opens the selected tv shows but nothing seems to load,it just stays at 0 in progress.
Second box is running Open Pli 2.1 ,it green screens when any category section is opened.

In Ireland,yes .
Open Pli is crashing ,green screen,seems to be happening with 1 channel too .Mytube is fine.Most likely an image issue as I cant seem to get anything to install from TSPanel either on Open Pli ,keeps on giving a Wget error.

RogerThis · 06-01-2013 7:14pm

The play code is taken straight from 1channel. If you get 1channel working, well, rte player will work too

I have 1channel working but rteplayer plugin green screens on both my 800se
And 800hd. I have TS image on both boxes.
I will delete it and try again

Cheers,I see .
Must be an image issue as 1channel loads on the Dream Elite image but progress stays at 0,wont play file,just like RTE player .
It used to work before but I rarely watched 1channel as I felt the Dm800 wasnt really up to the job of streaming,it lacks memory.
The Open Pli image is OpenPLi-2.1-beta-dm800-20120816#SSL84b by gjstroom

jolatacqce · 06-01-2013 8:04pm

just downloaded this plugin,it works 100% on my VU+DUO,Blk.hole1.7.9 image,no green screens.Ialso tried it in the AZ-BOX Premium,Spaze2.2 image,no green screens,but I couldn't get it to play any of the videos.

You need to update your image.

1. Install gtstroom must up to date image:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9860949/dm800/openpli-2.1-beta-dm800-20130106-sim2-ssl84b.nfi?dl=1">

Then
Edit the /etc/opkg/3rd-party-feed.conf and replace:

Code:
src/gz openpli-3rd-party http://downloads.pli-images.org/feeds/openpli-2.1/dm800/3rd-party with:

src/gz openpli-3rd-party http://dl.dropbox.com/u/124465398/dm800/3rd-party

Restart enigma. Then go to plugins and install etlivestream from entensions.

Then install RTE PLAYER and enjoy.

gtstroom image is rebuilt daily. Just put today's date in link for most recent build.

1channel and ice stream will also work with this image.

Thanks ,I tried that ,updated to newest Open Pli image but 1channel and RTE Player keep green screening .
I am going to have to give up for the time being ,I've spent hours at it today ,its very strange ,it just wont work.It seems once I request an url it crashes .

The newest image of Open Pli is fairly buggy to be honest ,alot of freezing up,not stable at all.

OpenPli has never been more stable. I have yesterdays build running on a DM800HD and its very stable. The current pli build has been the same since OCT 2012. All that Gtstroom daily build does is update the enigma2 changes.

I suggest you reflash the box. (It only takes about 10min) When you are asked if you want to restore settings, say no to this. Then do as I said in previous post. If this does not work for you unfortunately I suspect you may have a hardware problem.

How does installing etlivestream help? Is it because there isn't a default player in gtstroom?

I wonder would it help if that was installed on other images?

I'm good at the regex, and parsing the web pages, but I don't know a lot about how the streams are getting played.

Ok ,thanks,I will give that a go .
By flashing do you mean via the network,i.e hold power button while plugging in to get dhcp ip ?
Thats what i did to load the newest Open Pli image.
Perhaps it restored settings automatically as my bouquets were still on the newer image.
Do u have a clone or genuine Dm800 ?

Yes, flashing via web browser. In setup you are asked do you want to restore settings. Say No. This gives you a clean flash with no bouquets etc. This might clear the cause of your green screen. Do not forget to install etlivestreams.

This image will only work on a sim 2 dreambox. (Clone)

installing etlivestream adds software to your receiver to help in playing webstreams. I have it installed in all my images in VU and Dreambox. Vix will not play certain web radio stations without it. Openpli does not play your plugin without it.

Yes it would help if it was installed in other images. I used to have it in Blackhole image in the past to help in playing radio streams.

Tried flashing the latest PLi image and it loaded up the bouquets without giving any option to restore settings.
I then did a factory reset.
I then flashed a different image ,a clean Nemesis 2.6 image to try and clear the Open Pli settings out .
I finally reinstalled the latest Open Pli image and the bloody Bouquets had miracously reappeared :mad:
Its weird .
I've tried a number of Open Pli images and they all green screen.
I cant download anything via TSpanel either it gives a wget error .
I think its some sort of a network issue as TSPanel works fine on every other image I've tried .

Not quite sure where you are going wrong. Im guessing your image settings are stored on your harddrive. You could try the following:

Disconnect your harddrive, then reflash your box. If your system settings are stored on your hd, they will not be restored if Hd is not connected.

SalteeDog · 07-01-2013 9:34pm

Great stuff. Many thanks to RogerThis for doing this. I've confirmed it works on my GigaBlue HD800 SE running OpenVix 3.0. It also works on my Vu+ Duo but we knew that already. This will be handy.

kingtiger · 07-01-2013 9:42pm

nice! thanks Rodgerthis

have to wait until tomorrow though to give it a shot on my VU

Thanks.
I disconnected the hard drive and usb drive and loaded the newest version of Open Pli.
I got the setup screen this time as you suggested.
It gave the exact same green screen issue with Rte Player and 1channel.
It worked well apart from that but as soon as I enabled the wifi it froze up .
I needed to restart it but it wouldn't boot properly anymore.
Its either back to the older version of Open Pli and forget about RTE Player or else find a different image .
Anyone recommend a decent image for a Dm800 ?

Sorry that didnt work out for you. I dont use wifi myself, so hadnt come across that issue. I inserted a dongle into dreambox to see if I could repeat your result, and yes the box froze and would not reboot without taking dongle out.

Give this image a try. Again its openpli, except this is their final build without gtstrooms enigma2 updates.

Good luck!

Thanks givecredit.
I tried that image ,no luck I'm afraid ,same crashing.
I then tried Nemesis 2.6, Newenigma 3.2 and Dbuk image and they all green screened on 1channel and RTE Player .
I think there is a minor hardware issue with the unit .
I'll try the Open Pli image on my other 800 tomorrow,my main one and I'll definitely know then if its a hardware issue.
I hope I havent dragged this thread too far off topic.

STB · 08-01-2013 3:52am

RogerThis thanks a lot this is working perfectly in BH 1.79. I had to run my Clone Uno via Meoboot to get it onto BH1.79. It gets you around the houses.

@Zardoz if that helps you in anyway with your DM.

You are on a roll!! Well Done. Next 4od??

Just checked the tv3 website. The Tallifornia program requires user to confirm they are over 18. I guess this is why your player is not playing it.

RogerThis · 08-01-2013 10:14pm

4od is a non running, they have started using encrypted stream, so it broke the xbmc addon

I cant' get the 1024k rte streams either, they are block too. Only the 512k streams, that's why the rte stream look a bit fuzzy.

tg4 player uses brightcove, which is hard to crack. So that's out too.

I'm going to work on cleaning up the two, until I'm happy with them.

I use Azbox premium +, OpenRSI 3.0 and it installs fine, gives the categories but it hangs after a few mins playing. It doesnt green screen but I have to quit out of it. I wonder if its buffering. I have 20mb broadband.

Well done creating this plugin. I will try the tv3 one as well

@Zardoz if that helps you in anyway with your DM.

I just cant get it to work ,hair is almost all gone .:(
I tried so many different images and they all green screened on 1channel and RTE player .
Python2.6/urllib errors.
I tried adding extra python sub process files ,changing file attributes but all to no avail.
I tried manual plugin installs,ipk installs ,installing from TSPanel but all gave the same result.
I tried the images on my older Dm800 and that caused the same green screen issues ,the only image that 1channel seems to work with is the one I had on it Dream Elite Phoenix 2.

I loaded that Dream Elite Phoenix image onto the newer Dm800 and 1channel works on that but RTE player opens the selected programme but the time stays at 0.00,it wont play.
So its not a hardware fault with the newer unit,which is only a week old btw.

I thought it could be an ethernet issue so I replaced the wifi with a direct cable to the router but that made no difference.
Bar it being a modem issue I dont know what more I can do.

iggy · 09-01-2013 7:04pm

Both Rte player and 3 player still not working on my
DM800se and DM800 clones.
Rte player green screens when I select a program and 3player doesn't
Even show in plugins, when I restart enigma 2 it says plugin could not be installed.
Both boxes are on TS Image.
Does it have to a PLI based image to work?

Does 1channel work for you ?
I think some receivers are running Python 2.6 and others 2.7 so if the plugin is 2.6 it wont work on 2.7 units and vica versa.
