Enigma2 Plug-In

We have developed a plugin for Enigma2 devices. XE-AIO (All-in-one) includes:

  • Bouquet, picons and EPG downloader
  • TV Archive (Catch-Up) player
  • VOD player
  • VPN setup

The plug-in uploads your channel list, picon and epg to the Enigma2 box. With this plugin you can only load EPG data that comes from us. External EPG URL is not supported. In order for the EPG data to be loaded correctly, you should definitely check the EPG-ID Assignment (STANDARD, PRO). The TV-Archive player only works if your provider offers it. We don’t stream anything!

The VOD plugin uses a database to store the TMDB information. Depending on the amount of available VOD data, this database can grow up to 100 MB. It is strongly recommended to use external storage “/media/hdd” as workspace.

Please remember! None of our plugin plays the streams. We only provide the links and controls. If you have problems playing, you should define an alternative player in the XE Downloader.

INSTALLATION

Connect to your box using an SSH or Telnet client like Putty. With modern images you can use the console in the web interface. Installation scripts for the different images can be found here.
https://xeev.app/files/enigma2.txt

                                                                                                                                            
If you don't know which Python version is installed on your box, you can find out in the SSH Console. The command will show you the Python version. 

python --version   

# Python Version 2.7.x (OpenATV 6.4)

PREPARE PLAYLIST

Prerequisite for a functioning EPG is the EPG-ID assignment (STANDARD, PRO)
Prerequisite for TMDB information is the TMDB-ID assignment (STANDARD, PRO)

Important Steps:

  1. Create a playlist
  2. Assign an EPG ID to the live streams
  3. Assign a TMDB ID to the VOD and Series streams
  4. Enable parental controls for categories you want (Activate the Censored option for these categories)

PREPARE ENIGMA2 BOX

  1. Be sure to check the date and time on your Enigma2 box. For most images, this is provided by the DVB transponder. If the date and time are wrong, no VPN connection to the server can be established and the EPG data is not loaded.
  2. Activate multi-bouquet. Should be found under Settings. For most distributions, this option is already set.
  3. Activate Parental Control and enter a PIN. The code from the Playlist Editor can not be imported. You must specify this directly in the box.

CONNECT PLAYLIST

  • Open the XE Downloader plug-in. You will see an 8-digit APP code.
  • Link your Playlist with this code. You can find more information here (STANDARD, PRO). You can also scan the QR code and select the playlist there.
  • Press YELLOW to load the configuration and the bouquets to the box. Then the plugin is now connected to your playlist.
  • Press BLUE to get EPG.

XE CATCH-UP

What is Catch-Up? Catch-Up Service is offered by many providers that uses XC server software. This gives you the opportunity to watch missed shows. Others call it TV-Archive or RePlay

Open the plugin “XE CATCHUP” while the channel is running and support the catchup service. Channels with Catch-Up service are now marked with an “[+]” or “*” in the channel list.

Even with TV-Archive channels, our XE Media Player is used. Please read the instructions to find out how to use FFW and FRW.

TIP:
On your remote press Menu > Setup >Usage & GUI > Hotkey setup. Press red key on your remote (the key is optional but i thought red button was best) > in “Plugins” select “XE CATCHUP” > press green button to save > exit.
Now you will find when you are watching a catch-up channel if u press the red button it brings up the catch-up list

XE VPN

The VPN plugin creates a VPN connection on your Enigma2 box via your IPTV provider.
The following VPN providers are currently supported:

  • Nord VPN
  • IPVanish VPN
  • Digibit VPN
  • PIA (Private Internet Access)
  • Pure VPN
  • Vypr VPN
  • Monster VPN
  • Private VPN

The prerequisite is that you have a valid subscription to one of these providers.

Many IPTV providers block access with a VPN connection.
Please, before you buy a subscription at one of these VPN providers, inform yourself if this works for you.
The plugin is free for all XEEV Playlist Editor customers. So you need a subscription with us.
You should also know that a VPN connection may slow down the internet connection. Use Google Search to inform you. Support inquiries over slow Internet connection or similar are not answered by us. I ask for your understanding

Configuration & Setup

  • Open the XE VPN Setup plug-in
  • Choose your VPN provider.
  • Go to the “Sever” section and click “OK” on the remote. Depending on the provider, it may take a while for the first setup to show the server list. Select a VPN server there.
  • Navigate with the remote control to the Username section. Click “OK” on the remote. Enter your username from your VPN provider.
  • Repeat the same with the password.
  • Click on the “BLUE” button on your remote.

Now our plugin tries to connect. After a few seconds, you will see the status and your IP address in the upper area. If it does not work. Click on the “GREEN” key and analyze the log. There you may find the cause of the failed connection.
