So very new to all this so bear with me if this is newbie stuff for some of you!

 

I got the VU+ SoloSE and openpli4 and love it. I do however have one problem:

 

I want to stream from my SoloSE to my raspberry pi running KODI (or any KODI client for that matter). It's fairly easy setting up using the VU+/PVR addon. My problem is that I only want to portporward a secure port with https enabled and when using the https in the VU+/PVR addon the live tv streams fail. I have been googling like crazy and I found what the problem is and a possible solution. However since I'm not that technical of me I don't know how to make the solution work and want to know if I can get any help on that part.

 

So the problem:

 

Trying to configure the VU+ PVR addon with my chosen outside port that is forwarded to my vu+ solose and enabling HTTPS in addon settings, authentication and access to the box for epg data etc. seems to work.
What I can't do is the actual streaming. The log shows me, that the plugin is trying to stream using a https:// URL as well. I think though, that the openwebif plugin on the vu+ duo2 side does not support actual streaming through https.
Does it make sense at all that the plugin tries to stream through HTTPS? Are there other enigma based boxes that do streaming through https? If yes, it would be good to have a corresponding option in addon settings to choose if streaming itself is done via HTTPS or authentication etc. only

 

And I found another post with suggested solution:

 

Did a bit of research and this can be fixed on either client (Kodi) side, with a fixed libcurl which accepts the cipher served by the Enigma2 receiver (TLS1.2 in my case), or on the server (receiver) side, by adding the following default option to the m3u file generated by OpenWebIf: #EXTVLCOPT--http-reconnect=true --ciphers=<cipher name here>

 

 

Is there any way for me to fix the server side solution described above, so the m3u file generated can be read by the PVR addon in Kodi?

Note that if I disable using the HTTPS in Kodi, the streams work fine. I do however really want the https and secure port!

 

Let me know if anything is unclear. And like I said I'm a big beginner to all this so bear with me :)

Okay I'm managing for a fix from Kodi that will get the PVR addon to use HTTP instead of HTTPS for the actual stream!

 

One question, how come the streams aren't secured on the https as well? Or atleast have an option to decide self if it's to be on HTTP or HTTPS?

Using HTTP I don't dare have authentication required as the credentials will sooner or later be caught by someone...
