mmm… apologies, I'm pretty new to this, and although I can manage basic compiling [and following Linux instructions] I would need some guidance as to how to rectify this…. is there an easy way to switch to omxplayer without recompiling my own version. If you guys or Milhouse have a version that uses omxplayer, please let me know.

Maybe that's the reason the zap is so fast… no video. TBH it crashes every 5 minutes, so even if it worked it'd be hopelessly unstable.

Anyways, my intention had been to use the Pi as a TV extender, but I gold hold of an additional Vu+ box. This is pretty mental, I load up an enigma2 plugin called Remotechannelstreamconverter - https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openp...mConverter - and this takes the IP of the "host" box, with the tuners and downloads the bouquets and epg.

The zap speed on this "client" box is in the order of milliseconds. Is this due to specific hardware contained on the box [hardware video decoding etc] that simply isn't available on the Pi?

One more thing - popcorn mix, do your builds include fast zapping?

Thanks a million for the support…
