Live TV Stream from VU Box not working
#1
Hi All,

thanks for this forum at first!
I searched a couple of hours now for a solution to my problem. Bear with me if i did not find the right thread/wiki entry in order to resolve it.

I have:
a VU Ultimo Box with the Open Web Interface for streaming
a Win 7 (64) PC with XBMC 12.3 & the VU Enigma 2 Client (Live TV enabled as well)
Both connected via LAN

My issue is as following:
I get no live TV stream within XBMC.
-> When switching to any channel the frontend states "This channel cannot be played. check logfiles"

-> The Logfile states:
NOTICE: Creating InputStream
WARNING: XFILE::CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer: curl failed with code 22
WARNING: XFILE::CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer: Reconnect, (re)try 1

NOTICE: CDVDPlayer::CloseFile()
WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(player):Tongueut MSGQ_NOT_INITIALIZED
NOTICE: DVDPlayer: waiting for threads to exit
NOTICE: DVDPlayer: finished waiting

Sidenotes:
1.
When opening any stream from the Web Interface (fully functional), i get a URL like this:
http://192.168.0.16/web/stream.m3u?ref=1...e=RTL%20HD
I can also open those URLs from e.g. VLC Player.

2.
Within XBMC i have my Favourite TV Bouquet list and all related EPG info. I can also have priorly recorded stuff on the VU Box streamed without issues. (so something must be correct)

3.
All network related stuff like proxy, ports, usernames and so on have been tested/eliminated.

From the above i tend to think the issue is within the generated URL, but thats just an assumption at this point.

It would be perfect if someone can point me in the right direction with this issue as i really like XBMC and would love to get this last bit working as intended.
If any other information is needed, please let me know.

Thanks in advance & Best Regards !

Hi.

Have you tried XBMC DSPlayer build?
You can download last version here: http://yadi.sk/d/gc1slU8iFagBU


I also have problems with live tv (Enigma2 addon) and in Windows this is the only thing that works for me.
You don´t have to touch anything, all work will be done by DirectShow codecs installed in your pc

Thanks for your answer.
I haven't tried it yet. I am a bit hesitant as of downgrading my XBMC. I hope there is any other way to solve the situation. After all everything is working except the live TV.
Thanks again!
