plex-dvr-vu-plus-4k-zero-setup-guide's Introduction

Description

Setup a DVR/Live TV Tuner in plex media server. I used a VU+ Zeor 4K
The guide is what i have done in a couple of hours on a sunday evening, and not a 1:1 copy/pasta installation walktrough.

Live TV in plex is a nightmare.
Especillay the EPG(XMLTV) crap...

But this solution has the advantage that you can use CI encrypted channels.
Which is with the most (and suported tuner from plex) not possible.

Note

This "guide" was to archive and document the installation progress of all kind of things.
Because in a couple of years/months i cant rember what i have done, and perhaps i need in the future again.

TL;DR

  • Install the VU+ Receiver
  • Unwrap / put all cables in
  • Optional: Put in your CI module with the smart card
  • Flash it with OpenVIX image
  • Copy HRTunerProxy plugin to it
  • Reboot device
  • Configure plugin to use Bouquet
  • Setup EPG fetch script
  • Add tuner in plex
  • Enjoy (your not so great live tv in plex)
