hi all just found this most helpful write up plus interesting helpful replies, thank you. Although I've been using a sat box (xtrend8000-bought from WoS) with initial setup by them, i'm a bit of a novice mainly because I'm a technophobic, so please be patient. These are the problems I have encountered:
my box won't download any plugins, just kept saying some plugins cannot be downloaded at this moment, please try later
previous xtream editor seems to have disappeared, although still able to watch iptv until latest cessation of service. only FTV still working.
tried to FTP new xtream editor extension but kept coming up with various errors.
tried installing xtream editor using this original write up by rpidemon, but failed at the Open Webif home page as couldn't find "select terminal" at the bottom left of screen. my bottom left of screen stops at epg search
have thought about starting from fresh but not confident enough to attempt it.

INTRODUCTION
A guide to help people setting up IPTV and movie viewing on new or none working Enigma 2 device.
A lot of people seem to be having bother getting things running smoothly when it comes to IPTV
weather it be on here or elsewhere there are plenty of complaints and unhappy users, people buy boxes off social media/online sellers lured in by the promise of premium TV at pound shop prices but things are not always that simple:(
I will cover the plugins required for your system and various different plugins that can be used for IPTV viewing.
A lot of complaints lead to finger pointing the IPTV provider which is not always the case when other factors have not been ruled out first, I will not guarantee freeze or glitch free viewing after using this guide as that is something premium TV providers can not offer their customers 100% of the time but hopefully this will help.
PREREQUISITES
Enigma 2 box
Internet connection
PC/Mac FTP program (Flash FXP, Filezilla etc)
IPTV sub - m3u file or API (portal, username and password)
USB stick nothing to big 4gb will be ample.
HARDWARE
Zgemma H2S is what i am using, which in my opinion is a entry level box now over 3 years old so the specs are not fantastic compared to whats on the market today but it is sufficient for IPTV at a entry level price but this guide is applicable to any Enigma 2 box.
Ethernet cable always go for hard wired to your router over WiFi no matter how many antennas your box has it is more stable and will get more mbs than a wireless connection to your box. Cat6 cables of all lengths can be picked up for a few £££ on ebay. I have a 10 meter cable running from the router in the hall into the living room tacked round the skirting board with cable clips (99p from B&Q) but you can be as fancy as you like running the cable outside and back in if your DIY skills are up to scratch, trust me spending that extra few quid on the cable can make all the difference, if this is not a option use home plugs.
WiFi should be a last resort!
With you box plugged in and connected to your TV/router we shall begin:
SOFTWARE
A stock OpenATV 6.2 image which can be found for your manufacturer and model here: openATV Nightly Downloads
Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a FAT32 formatted USB stick and flash your box however is required as per the manufacturer's instructions (plenty of guides on here and around the internet for all makes and models)
I will not be installing any other builds on top of the stock image as sometimes with Enigma 2 especially on older lower spec boxes less is more.
Alternate images can still be used Vix etc but the methods of install may be slightly different to as described below.

IPTV PLUGINS
These 4 plugins can all be configured using your username, password and providers url/portal in my opinion this is a superior method over mac authentication as your IPTV sub easily moved to another device if needs be.
This is by no means the be all and end all but I have tried and tested these plugins myself and found them all capable of handling the task in hand. All the plugins below do more or less the same so it is down to personal preference or provider recommendation at the end of the day.
**When inputting usernames/passwords/portals press the text button on your remote for the full keyboard**
What does it do?
The enigma 2 plugin automatically sorts channels, bouquets and epg data (user provided or direct from XE) Installation:
Copy this link: wget -O /tmp/install.sh "http://xtream-editor.com/files/ipk/install.sh" && chmod 755 /tmp/install.sh && /tmp/install.sh

Upon confirmation that your code and line are linked:
Yellow button to Import Bouquets
Blue button to Import EPG
Green button to save
Exit back to the main screen
Press down button to view your created bouquets
2. If your provider does not support Xtream Editor (shame on them) but you have a m3u file or portal, username and password go to Online M3U playlist editor & Management Software | Xtream Editor register a account and create a m3u list or API line following the guides here Tutorials KODI, ENIGMA2, EPG | Xtream Editor
When creating the list be sure to input your 8 digit code on the right hand side of the list and save.
I will not go into further detail as it is all explained in the link above.

Recording IPTV is not always a option so catch-up is the next best thing. Please contact your provider to see if the feature is supported as a lot only support SD channels due to the space required to back up HD recordings.

Hopefully a enigma 2 box capable of IPTV playback :) As long winded as this guide is it should go a long way to helping people setting up a new or existing none working enigma 2 device. I know the install sections repeat methods but it is aimed at new users and explained step by step from beginning to end, they may also be stuff that is irrelevant to some people, things I have not covered that people think should be in here or errors on my behalf (I am no expert but this what has worked for me) if so please let me know and i will edit the guide accordingly.

Recording IPTV is not always a option so catch-up is the next best thing. Please contact your provider to see if the feature is supported as a lot only support SD channels due to the space required to back up HD recordings.

END RESULT
Hopefully a enigma 2 box capable of IPTV playback :) As long winded as this guide is it should go a long way to helping people setting up a new or existing none working enigma 2 device. I know the install sections repeat methods but it is aimed at new users and explained step by step from beginning to end, they may also be stuff that is irrelevant to some people, things I have not covered that people think should be in here or errors on my behalf (I am no expert but this what has worked for me) if so please let me know and i will edit the guide accordingly.
Dreamexplorer download removed as newer OpenATV versions have File Commander installed by default.
Any dead links removed and updated.
OpenVPN setup added.
Thank you at @pieeater2015 I will have a look at that plugin. From past experience when a stream stops, stutters or loops out of the blue it is normally at the providers end the stream has stopped and restarted or failed to restart, not a issue on the box itself causing said issues but in the post XC days it is certainly something to take on board.
Added maintenance and troubleshooting section including @pieeater2015 quarterpounder recommendation also cacheflush for users with older boxes.
Moved Catchup and Movie player setup into optional extras.
rpidemon I wish I found your guide before I set my boxes up. It would have been a lot easier.
I'm running openatv 6.3, with WB on a vu+ uno 4k. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get closed caption working.
The button assigned for closed caption from vu+, doesn't seem to have a function in openatv 6.3. I just get an X on the screen when I press it.
Closed caption does work with my IPTV provider, and is working fine on my android boxes. I just don't know how to access it. I'm a week new in the
enigma2 world.... but loving it. I can't wait to get rid of all my android boxes.

Sorry I have not really used them myself just had a quick look through the menus and came across these. There are options to set default audio language's, subtitle language, subtitles for the hearing impaired amongst others.
Great thread!
In need of some clarification. If a supplier has a service with "VPN", does that mean i dont need a VPN (to hide from my ISP) and is there some way of checking this. Ultimately its my responsibility and one Im willing to take, but confused about this.

When suppliers have vpns at their end that usually means you don't have to use one some people like to use their own vpn I've never used a vpn and never been blocked due to supplier having protection there end which prevents server been blocked but your isp can block you still so some use their own so that dosnt happen

Until recently i had not used a VPN myself for IPTV or otherwise but if you do have one running you know you are 100% anonymous to your own ISP regardless of what the provider has in place but at the end of the day that is down to your own personal choice.

No luck with the settings. I'm thinking that I need to find out what command the remote is sending out when the cc button is pressed and add it to the keymap.xml
On my Android boxes I am able to turn closed caption on and off with the remote.
