had a quick look and noticed a few things..

 

1. Your picons were not being picked up as it looks like you store them locally - this should be fixed in latest version.

2. Your epg appears to be empty according to the logs. Is this correct?

Just posting thanks for the efforts.

Looking forward to when i'm going to be able to get rid of MCE and DVBlink in one go.

 

Please keep us posted when known limitations are implemented. I will be watching the topic. Thank you.

See first post regarding Channel playback issue.

Details copied below:

 

Known Issues / Limitations

 

Issues with playback of Channels - Just installed on another pc with same configuration and playing of Channels is not working.

I cleared out my library.db and refreshdata.db on my development pc and playback of channels has stopped working now.

Will have to investigate why. 

 

Genres are set to 'Unknown'.

No Series related functionality.

 

 

 

Sorry about this, will investigate and get back to you.

2. Your epg appears to be empty according to the logs. Is this correct? Correct the channels currently in my Bouquet are on 97w so doesn't have EGP.

Thanks

I would suggest you make a post on http://www.vuplus-community.net/ and see what responses you get back.

 

Going back to this plugin............

Investigating, I have found the following:

If a developer could take a look that would be great, as I'm really struggling to work out what is going wrong

 

Thanks.

You should be good to start testing again as long you download the latest dev version of MediaBrowser.

While in the Dev mode, I couldn't update the latest plug 1.0.2, as many times that I restarts the server or closed the computer down for a clean restart it doesn't seems to update, I have added a log for your review.

 

Thanks

Tried this myself and the plugin appears to update but the version shown in the logs still thinks your on 1.0.0.0 when you restart MediaBrowser server hence it thinks you need to update again and again.

Need to find out how version checking of plugins works. Even though you got the message, did you try using the plugin to see Vu+ content?

 

2015-03-12 07:50:57.6579 Info - App: Loading MediaBrowser.Plugins.VuPlus, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

I updated the server to Dev version and also updated plugin (have the same problems as e123enitan regarding update / restart prompts)  I still cant get it to stream and play remotely via Chrome but interestingly it plays fine (albeit) slow via the android app on my phone.

Version 1.0.0.3 should fix issues with plugin constantly wanting to be updated.

Congrat "I am now able to play Live TV through VuPlus" :D excellent Job, You've nailed it I think that is the main issue the rest will be resolved in no time. 

However, I noticed that Picon did not dispalyed  on I.0.3, so I changed the location to C:\Users\Dell 9020\Desktop\Picon from \\WDMYCLOUDEX4\Public_2\Logos, this cause all tuners to disappear hence no TV channels is displayed, then I change it back and then restart server, then TV channels lisiting resumed but no Picon still.

 

On my Kodi Live TV the Picon path is set to  =>>\\WDMYCLOUDEX4\Public_2\Logos, and this work fine, not sure why MB3 did not show ;)

 

I have attached few logs, not meant to overwheelm you but hope it provide sufficient info to establish the issue

 

Cheers! Nice Big One
