There is if you use one of the XBMC v12 Frodo test builds. See PVR (wiki).

Thanks for that I will give it a try, and let you know how I get on

Do I need to install XBMC v12 Frodo test builds into Vu+ or my pc (windows 8)

Installing it would be the first step to using it, so yes.

Did you enable the "LiveTV" after you enabled the PVR addon?

Also you should use a local folder for the channel data - i.e. c:\Temp (If you are on windows)

Thanks for that, No I didn't turn on Live Tv, ok iv turn it on Now im Getting Vu+ Engima2 client connecting lost Huh

?
iv put in my box number 192.168.0.4,
and iv made a C:/ temp in windows (do I need to put anything in that folder from the setting from the Vu+ box)
thanks

Please post a debug log, it looks like it cannot connect to the VU+.

Hi m3eny,
I also tried to setup Live TV to VU+Solo 2 , VTI Image 5.0.1: No Luck with NFS on Win 8 Pro.
I just got the Solo2 1 week ago, I´m totally noob.( so someone pls. clarify/straighten my thoughts Wink

1st problem was: I run VU+ Plugin "Openwebif" at http port 80 and https port 443.
but you need Plugin "Webinterface" for XBMC to work.
Webinterface is set to run http-80 and on port https-443 by default, so it won't start, because of Openwebif already using these ports.
Reconfigure Webinterface to use port http-81, and disable port https-443. then reboot Vu+
Reconfigure XBMC Live-TV Plugin to use port 81 under Advanced - Webinterface port.
Connection worked then!. but no channels ...

2nd Problem: Could not get channel list via NFS:// ....
After 1/2 day trying I switched to CIFS shares, because SMB/CIFS is also enabled out of the box.
it took me 5 minutes to get it work on CIFS Nod

In VTI Panel - VTI SysteamTools -Use Network Browser to create CIFS shares for /media/hdd and picon
I think you need a user AND a password to get it work with win 8.

I still have the user root with no/empty password as by default on the VU+ , and I think that is confusing windows 8 security model.
By setting a password for user "root" in CIFS Share via network manager XBMC connected fine, I also have the picons ( channel Logos).
I have been Testing XBMC Live TV with VU+ for 2hrs , nice, rocking, very satisfying. Thank you TEAM!!!!!

btw: Setting a password for root in the network manager does not change password for console root, So I`m fine with that.

Hi Curseme, Glad you have sort it out, still trying here no luck, any chance you can make a video on you tube lol

jdembski · 2013-01-17, 09:35

@Curseme: You don't need a CIFS / NFS-Share for the channel list. Also, the plugin should work with the OpenWebif.

@m3eny: I already answered in the PM - you set the "Fetch only one Bouquet"-Option without specifiying the Bouquet.

I think after you set it correctly it will work Smile

m3eny · 2013-01-17, 14:22

At last working great and recording too, it take along time to load all the channels (10mins) Now is there anyway that I can use my vu+ (not pc) to run xbmc, like apple tv ect with all them channels
thanks for all your help Smile

No, XBMC cannot be run on the VU+ boxes.

Regarding the channel loading time: I suggest that you create a bouquet on your VU+ with just the channels you really use, and then fetch this bouquet within XBMC.
