I thought I would update to the latest version of XBMC and to my surprise they have a plugin available for Vu+ receivers and plugins called PVR and LiveTV. These plugins work just fine with the Raptor and E2. It reads all your favorite bouquets and stores it on your PC HD. Now you can control your Raptor with the bouquet lists on your PC. Plus it seems you have options to move, remove, record, lock, filter, group management, etc. Haven't tried yet, don't want to mess my bouquet list.

You can watch on your tv an IPTV stream and also watch a sat channel on your PC. Looks like there are many other possibilities, but I am still playing with it. I started using the Confluence skin to see what it will look like and feel in the up coming PrismCube receiver. Looks pretty good.
 
I went to the website you mentioned http://www.et-view-support.com/Foru...-xbmc-addons-with-enigma2&p=130136#post130136 about adding XBMC capabilities to Engima2. I couldn't register because they require a referral. But I managed to get a jpg of the required files (see pix #1).

Found the required files on ftp site http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/addons/eden/ and was able to download. I booted the Raptor with the latest HDMU on a usb stick. Copied the necessary files to the appropriate directory in the Raptor using Filezilla and then installed the *.ipk file via software management.

Attached are some pixs showing the XBMC plugin in action. Works very well. I hope the developer continues supporting XBMC. AND praises to the coder!! I believe he's the developer of Webmedia plugin.

I will have to try this on the Raptor and the VU+ at some point in time, but I have too much on my plate right now.
One thing I have noticed is things that worked OK or worked slow on the Raptor work lightning fast on the Duo2.
It looks like E2 or a similar version(E3?) will be common to most fta receivers in the next few years.

Thanks for taking the time to find this plugin and its support! EB
 
Good to know EB... Until I decide what I am going to do, I'll just keep overclocking the Raptor and keep playing until it does or not burn out.

With the XBMC addons, you should be ok with a slow connection speed if you stick with U.S. servers and sd. Heck, with all the plugins available, I am seriously thinking of getting rid of DTV if I can convince my wife. But, that's a challenge.:pray:
 
IMO, the Raptor "Is" and "Is Going To Be" Hard To Beat. It is still placed in the #1 spot in the house with the new VU being placed second. I will let you know when that order changes.
 
Here's the latest from the author of XBMC plugins for E2.
