e2iplayer is a plugin for Enigma2-based set-top boxes. It allows users to stream online video content directly from various sources through a simplified interface.

It is compatible with Linux-based set-top boxes running the Enigma2 system, such as Dreambox, Vu+, Zgemma, and similar IPTV boxes.

It provides access to a wide range of streaming platforms, including free IPTV links, movies, series, and adult content, often through unofficial or public web sources.

Not reliably. The project is **no longer maintained on GitLab**, and multiple forks exist with unofficial updates. The plugin **frequently breaks due to changing site structures and CAPTCHA walls.

Yes. The plugin streams content from online sources, so a stable internet connection is required.

Most failures occur due to **site-side changes, JavaScript challenges, or CAPTCHA protections** that block automated access.

Many video sources now show **CAPTCHAs before loading the stream**. CaptchaAI can solve these CAPTCHAs automatically, **restoring broken video playback and link scraping** functions.

Advanced users can **intercept CAPTCHA prompts** using scripts or forked builds and send them to CaptchaAI’s API for solving, especially for image-based or reCAPTCHA V2 challenges.

Yes. The plugin is open-source and free, but due to lack of updates, **users must rely on community fixes or additional services like CaptchaAI** for continued usability.

That depends on the content sources. The plugin itself is legal, but accessing copyrighted or geo-blocked content without permission may violate laws in some regions.
