VU plugins

[dixons]

BH on latest version and I believe VIX have a nice plugin that allows access to on demand services like BBC iplayer, ITV player, RTE and 3player.I am able to watch on a satellite internet connection.

[kegnkiwi]

I have tm twin with vix 3 build 626 and I have all the ondemand plugins working fine over here in nz, I also have 1channel, icefilms and tsonlinetv working. There are also devixified versions doing the rounds also.

This is posted for you guys over in nz and oz, its not my work and I am just copy and pasting the file on behalf of the wos forum. This allows you to view uk bbc1player, itv player, and a couple of irish ones. It works with out the need for a vpn as its built in. Working on my technomate tm-twin using vix image over in nz.

OE-Alliance OnDemand player

Here is a sneak preview of the work done so far, please bear in mind that this is still WIP ( work in progress ) and it is far from finished, but it should give you a idea of where things are going with the project.

you can keep up with developments via the GIT here

Code:





extract the following archive and FTP the OnDemand folder to

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/

then issue the following command via a telnet session.

init 4 && opkg install python-lxml python-beautifulsoup python-dnspython python-simplejson && init 3


This plugin will only work with the ViX image at present, by all means please provide feedback but do not ask for support as this is still a work in progress and constantly undergoing work, source credits and other information will be updated in due course.


****************************************

Austech forum I cannot upload the ondemand file, I am not sure if its due to being a rar file or due to my lack of posts. So instead I will give a coded link the the software.

[kegnkiwi]

For the 1channel plugin and tsonline plugin I simply us tspanel. Update to the latest version and download what is required. With tsonline I find there are lots of dead links but I find version 1.5 to be the best for me. Worth having a look just for the sensored japanese/chinese porn channels.

[kegnkiwi]

Here are the devixifield versions of the plugins. There has been mixed reviews on these plugins with many getting it to work and some no getting it to work, this is none of my work and all credit goes to all involved. This is taken from satpimps. Once again I cannot upload the files so here is a coded link.

Heres the Ondemand plugin that previously only worked on VIX images

they used existing plugins for ITVplayer BBCiplayer ect and packaged them in this one container plugin,then claimed the plugin as their own and edited the files in such a way that they then only ran on the VIX image.

these files have now been vastly edited by Subixonfire,Saintomer,Cokeaddict and Myself to now run on any image.
Many new files and their dependencies that are needed for it to run have also been included in the ipk's and the ipk's themselves were created by Ten Below as we couldnt get them to work properly.

i hope now that ALL users enjoy this plugin and not just the VIX users that the OE Alliance edited the plugin to only work with.

Ian.

A few screen shots of ondemand and tsonlinetv.

With the latest BH image you can download the plugin directly.I was then able to FTP files that had been added or changed, for instance an update to BBC player that allows access to sports.Still a work in progress but the people involved are doing a great job.
See VuPlus Community for further info

The Current version on the BH image server is approximately 20 revisions behind the official OE-Alliance OnDemand version from the GIT.

Only OE-Alliance images run the very latest versions of the plugin as thats what it is built for and then other teams must adapt it for their userbase.

[DUDE]

A few screen shots of ondemand and tsonlinetv.

Thats a very old version. here are some more upto date snaps from the official version.

[DUDE]

Ok in the next Bh we will have:
1) all the dependencies available for this plugin.
2) Skin system compatible with relative coordinate
3) Picload compatible with thumbnail resize.

But there are other things that require to be changed in the plugin depending from different structure of enigma2 (OE-ALLIANCE is pli based as you know).

So i think it can be useful to setup a repository at github for Black Hole open source plugins and plugins opensource adapted to Black Hole like this.
I can setup and manage the repository but is there here someone that know git and want to cooperate like for example to mantain the bh compatible version of this plugin and others ?

Going by the above recent post on the BH forum it seems there may finally be some form of amicable working relationship between the OE-Alliance and the BH team for such projects as the OnDemand plugin. I have to say i find it very refreshing to see such a level headed approach from the usual forum shouting matches that tend to spring up from such projects. so from me i say well done Shiro and the BH team, i look forward to a closer working relationship now and in the future for the betterment of the satellite community as a whole.

These on demand players were not created by vix they we created by true community hobbyists, rogerthis,digidude,suboxonfire to name but a few, Vix then took the plugins and inserted old code to make them only work on oe alliance images, they have created nothing here, only caused resentment and confusion. Sad days for the community with this type off behavior. Many other hobbyists are now having to clean up the mess left by vix when users try to use the the plugins on non oe alliance images.

No need for such comment, it only fuels problems and sounds like sour grapes. The attitude from the BH team as reflected in the earlier quote in this thread seems much more productive. Well done Vix and BH. I for one appreciate the work of rogerthis, suboxonfire, the vix team and others ackowledged in the oe-alliance ondemand plugin.

For those that don't want any part of the ondemand plugin, they are free to use the indiviual plugins for the separate players that haven't been integrated into any particular skins or unique images.

Incidentally, 'phoenixfromvix' appears to be a new ID on this site and doesn't appear to be the same 'Phoenix' who is part of the Vix team. So I can only assume that this ID has been created simply to create mischief. 'Sad days for the community with this type of behavior.'

It would be nice to develop similar capability for ABC iView, PLUS7, NineMSN Fixplay, SBS Video Player, One, TEN & Eleven Catchup TV etc... Whilst the ondemand code is in an open git thanks to the Vix and oe-alliance, it is a non trivial task. If you're interested take a look at where Jeremy Visser has done something similar (but got served a writ by the ABC). If it was implemented without the record facility, then the ABC might be less active! Maybe a job for a rainy day or two.

sadly that would indeed seem to be whats happening here, I am pheonix from team ViX although i had assumed that was known due to my other ViX related threads, but dont worry i have no intention of bringing this forum down by replying to such posts.

[Garglo]

The OnDemand plugin works well but for a couple of selections. BBC iplayer was working up until a couple of weeks ago using the Getflix service. The Western Digital player currently still works on the BBC UK services using Getflix.

However I would like to know whether:-
(a) Anyone has the BBC iplayer working on these Vu+ receivers with OpenVix?
(b) Anyone has the ABC iview working on these Vu+ receivers with OpenVix?
(c) Anyone has a method to setup the Vu+ satellite receivers to access on the Vu+ receivers with OpenVix?
