I’ve been using Dreambox Control Center for Enigma2 (DCC) to upload and run commands on my Dreambox device:.LiveTV is not working perfectly – sometimes it works and some times not – but recording of shows has not failed once. It works great for recording shows or movies and the new content will be stored into my existing libraries.Post installation follow the guide as described here:.Note that the plugin has recently been renamed to HR-Tuner Proxy NOW – it is time to install the PlexDVR API plugin.I also updated the attributes to 755 (I don’t know if that is required) Modify it according to your specs and save it as CCcam.cfg in the same directory.

Using FTP goto /usr/keys to find a template to be used for the softcam.

I installed CCcam 2.3 and started the softcam under the Softcam Panel.

If it doesn’t exit all the menus and try again.

Now, press the blue remote button and navigate to install plugins and softcams should be listed as an option.

Run the command: “opkg install /tmp/softcam-feed-universal_2.0_all.ipk”.

Do NOT use the automated install through the Plugin Manager – Open a Terminal window (DCC).

Use FTP to upload it to /tmp (see note below – I’ve been using DCC).

Download softcam-feed-universal_2.0_all.ipk.

Next step was to enable softcams and after many tries and reflashes, I managed to fine a way for it.

I downloaded and flashed OpenATV v6.1 from this site:.

I needed to find a firmware that supported softcams as well as it supported the PlexDVR API and after a lot of Googling I found out that OpenATV should work great.

It is described at the bottom of this page:

As it had the original firmware on it, I first needed to flash it with the “second stage loader” in order to be able to add a custom image on it.

I bought a Dreambox 500HD S2 (satellite tuner) on eBay.

Here is what I’ve done if it happens to be of interest to someone else. And when the Plex team announced DVR support in Plex I’ve been meaning to look into it.Īs I’m using a satellite dish to get my channels I looked for an alternative way from the official supported devices and stumbled upon a Dreambox thread in one of the forums. But there’s been one feature missing since I turned off my Windows Media Center server many years ago and that has been to subscribe and record shows that I follow. I’ve been using it almost daily since 2012.
