Description
This App is a simplistic playback client for TV and Radio streams served by Enigma2 based set-top-boxes (STB) using the OpenWebIF web service running on the STB. Just enter the IP-Address and the port number of your Enigma2-based TV receiver and start watching Live-TV-Streams or Recordings stored on the STB.
This App supports use of multiple Bouquets with TV and Radio services and multiple locations with recordings on the STB.
With the upper HUD (Swipe Down during playback) you can select the audio channel and activate subtitles.
The bottom HUD (Swipe Up during playback) enables zapping through LiveTV streams. During playback of recordings you can pause or use fast forward playback, which is limited because of using an HTTP connection for streaming.
Enigma2 is a Linux based Open Source operating system widely used in receivers for satellite or cable TV. The App does not require file sharing (like SMB, FTP, NFS) enabled on the box. It only uses OpenWebIF via HTTP to read the Bouquets with your favorite TV stations and their current EPG information. Same applies for showing all the recordings you made on the STB. HTTPS for accessing OpenWebIF is not yet supported. FTP is used to backup some App data.

What’s New
Version 1.4.4
- fixing timeout issue with transcoded streams
Some receivers take several seconds until they provide transcoded streams. When starting playback, the app ran into a timeout stopped playback and retried. Timeout duration is not longer and with each attempt it gets increased by 50%. This should be sufficient for most DVB receivers.
In case you use transcoded streams, you can enable "remote connection" in the settings, which will just increase the timeouts for communication.
Ratings and Reviews
Tolle App, großes Lob an den Entwickler!!!!!!
Vielen Dank für diese tolle App genau so etwas habe ich gesucht.
Developer Response ,
Vielen Dank für dein Lob und noch viel Spaß mit der App.
Top!
Erstklassige App! Da sie auch noch kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt wird, sind 5 Sterne mehr als verdient.
Wäre toll wenn auch PiP unterstützt würde (AVPictureInPictureController), gerne auch als Pro Feature um die weitere Entwicklung zu unterstützen.
Developer Response ,
Vielen Dank für dein Lob.
Ich muss für die Wiedergabe von Streams VLCKit (eingebetteter VLC-Player) nutzen, weil AVPlayer die Streams nicht (auf allen Plattformen) wiedergeben kann. Apple stellt leider den PiP-Controller nicht für andere Player zur Verfügung. Solange sich das nicht ändert, kann ich leider PiP nicht implementieren.
PiP
Sehr gute app.
PiP playback wäre noch toll damit man weiterschauen kann im kleinen Fenster
Developer Response ,
Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung.
Auf dem iPad kann man Split-Screen verwenden. Ein echtes PictureInPicture, wie du es jetzt meinst, ist aber leider ausschließlich den Media-Frameworks von Apple vorbehalten, die andererseits auf manchen Plattformen (vor Allem tvOS) die Videostreams nicht wiedergeben können. Daher muss die App einen eingebetteten VLC-Player verwenden, für den PiP seitens Apple leider nicht möglich ist.
