Installation

Installation

Requirements

• An Enigma2 box with a Python 3 based image (OpenViX and compatible).
• An Internet connection. Searches go to mediathekviewweb.de and the videos are fetched from the broadcasters' servers.
• Free space in the download directory (default /media/hdd/movie).

Package

enigma2-plugin-extensions-mediathekcockpit, architecture independent. It depends on:

Package	Why
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-cachecockpit	Adds downloaded files to MovieCockpit's cache
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-jobcockpit	Job manager for downloads and the download list
enigma2-plugin-skincomponents-componentscockpit	Skin components

Install the package, then restart Enigma2.

MovieCockpit is not required, but downloads are made to be used with it. Without MovieCockpit the files are ordinary files in your movie directory that any player can open.

Where it appears

Place	Entry
Plugin menu and extensions (blue button) menu	MediathekCockpit: "Browse Mediathek libraries"
EPG / event info screens	Mediathek Downloads: opens the search with the programme's title
MovieCockpit's info screen	Blue button Mediathek Download (only when MediathekCockpit is installed)

See Integration.
