[martin035]

This Guide will cover Streaming Live TV from your Zgemma/Enigma 2 sat box to your Local Network Wifi/Lan it will not cover streaming to the internet.
For all Devices/OS's The Enigma2 image on your Zgemma must have the Openwebif plugin installed, openatv5.1 and openvix has this plugin installed as default.
You will also need your Zgemma/Sat box IP address for openatv Menu-information-network and note down the IP of the box ie 134.167.1.8 yours will be different

Android Tablet/Phone
I found that VLC player for android buggy and wouldn't play the streams so use another app; xmtv player
1. As xmtv player isn't available from the app store we need to 'allow installation from uknown sources' settings-security and tick 'Unknown sources'
2. On your device download xmtv player
http://xmtvplayer.com/download select Ok to keep xmtv player.apk when get 'download complete' box press open or go to your downloads and press xmtv player.apk and install and open and 'I agree' then close the app
3. Open your device browser and type in IP address of your Zgemma, you will get the mobile version press 'show full Openwebif'
4. Click on the TV icon see picture, you will then get a 'Complete action using' box, press xmtv player and press 'always'
5. xmtv player will open, press your selected channel
