Tuxbox PVR Client Addon for XBMC for EPG and full control of Dreambox and DBox2?

linuxmad Wrote:Hi,
This uses vu as a backend? Will it work with dreambox 500s?
Thanks

It should work with any enigma2 based Box...it uses the webinterface for fetching channel information, epg etc. I do not know what dream box 500 is based on, so just give it a try

My dream 500s is a enigma 1 box ....
but... I still would like to try it... Can you post a zip of the addon?

You will also need opdenkamp's PVR branch to use the addon - also this is a "binary" addon, so the best thing is you would compile it yourself.

Does enigma1 also have the webinterface? Then it would probably work.

Allthough the plugin explicitly mentiones "vuplus": if there are any issues with other boxes that can be fixed on my side then I will be more than happy to do so.

Maybe I miss a step-by-step description how to use your addon. What are the prerequisites and how get I your SW up and running?

Thanks!

I am using openelec version of xbmc, and having the plugin/addon on a zip is the best solution, at least for me...

All this is based on opdenkamp's PVR branch, which hopefully will be integrated into the next release after Eden.

Allthough opdenkamp has got some binary builds (I think he is involved in openelec, too), obviously this addon is not included in these builds yet. I hope that he will include this addon at some point, but this won't happen until at least the remaining basics (timers, recordings) have been implemented.

For now you can only download the sourcecode from git and compile xbmc for yourself. I'm not sure whether a zip-file containing the addon-binaries will work - we could try this of course. My development machine is running ubuntu 64 bit...

@Linuxmad: I just gave it another thought on using enigma1 boxes: The plugin is parsing the output from the webapi, which got references like "e2event" in it - I think the "e2" bit is a sign that this won't work for enigma1 based boxes, right?

webinterface of enigma1 boxes is different from E2..that is a fact.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you using Open WebIF or the legacy one on your VU?
I wonder if I should try to compile it under Windows, I'm curious how well your plugin integrates ...

I did some manual tests with both interfaces - I think they will both work. I will make the port it is using customizable and try it out this evening; I'll report back then...

Just tested it - until now it does work with openwebif, too...

(Only EPG and watching TV works at this time)
