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
Really useful for stream from E2 STB
I really love the clean design of this app. Works very well for live streams and for stream recordings stored on STB.
I only miss two things for this to be perfect:
1-A quick search bar on top of the channel list for quick find into bouquets with lists of items.
2-The ability to jump in time when playing a recorded movie (a slider would be nice) because is annoying to wait in fast-forward mode when movie duration is long.
Thank you so much for this great app!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your comment here.
Indeed - I use a special bouquet which only shows my preferred services I use on my AppleTV. This makes things a lot easier. A search field would work on iOS, but on tvOS with the Siri Remote is not that comfortable.
Jumping in in playback time does not work - I tried that. Reason is, that this feature requires HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and E2 is not capable of this. So the fast forward speed is limited by the data transfer rate of the stream. So jumping 30 minutes requires to load 30 minutes of the recording and this would result in a bad user experience as well.
Sin conexión tras actualización
Buenas tardes y agradecimientos por la aplicación, pero tras las ultimas actualizaciones, sigo sin poder conectar al decodificador; únicamente tras la ultima versión, aparece lista de canales pero no conecta

The BEST to use muy box
This is the best app yo use my enigma2 box, a vu plus one. I Will be Happy with some controls to manage recordings and movies. Maybe to forward 30 seg or one minute.
