Suls e2m3u2bouquet 0.6 IPTV Bouquet Maker



v0.6

• Better m3u parsing
• Plugin

Plugin (beta)
We’ve now released a plugin for the script. As it’s still in beta please only use if you are comfortable knowing it’s only had limited testing and know how to re-flash your box if you encounter any issues.
Update: Not had any negative reports so should be safe to use

Plugin features:-

• Named provider support
• Ability to set commonly used options
• Ability to set an update schedule

Plugin install

• Download the ipk and ftp it to the /tmp folder on the box.
• Either install it from the box GUI (in OpenVix this will be ‘Menu -> Setup -> ViX -> Install local extension
  or SSH/Telnet to to the box and run ‘opkg install /tmp/enigma2 [TAB – to autocomplete path]
• Reboot box
• Open your plugins menu, there should now be a plugin named ‘IPTV Bouquet Maker (IPTV for Enigma2 – E2m3u2bouquet plugin)’

Potential Issues
Custom sorting – If you have an override.xml file then when the bouquet update is happening you may see the spinner graphic and the box ui may be unresponsive for around a minute

Downloading Picons (especially on first run) takes a long time. Your box will show the spinner graphic and the ui will be unresponsive while this happening.

Thanks to ..
You’ll notice that the plugin looks a lot like Epg-Importer. Epg-Importer was used as the starting point of the plugin so all credit to the Epg-Importer team for developing their great plugin.

v0.6.1
Script changes

• Dedicated config directory ‘/etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet’
• Pre Python 2.7.9 SSL context workaround
• Remove delimiter options (command arguments -d1, -d2, -d3, -d4)
• Option to place IPTV bouquets at top or bottom ‘-bt’
• Consistent channel numbering (best results when IPTV bouquets are set to top). Each new IPTV category will start numbering +100 from start of last category

Plugin changes

• Add /picon option for download path
• Show last playlist update
• Add override service refs option
• Add IPTV bouquet position option
• Add option download providers bouquet (for custom service refs)

Notes
The delimiter command arguments have been removed (-d1, -d2, -d3, -d4). Due to improvement in the m3u parsing these are no longer needed

The script and plugin will now save e2m3u2bouquet-sort-current.xml and look for e2m3u2bouquet-sort-override.xml in the new config directory ‘/etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet’. If the override file can’t be found in the config folder it will also check in the current working directory ‘/hoem/root’ in most cases.

Plugin Potential Issues
Custom sorting – If you have an override.xml file then when the bouquet update is happening you may see the spinner graphic and the box ui may be unresponsive for around a minute

Downloading Picons (especially on first run) takes a long time. Your box will show the spinner graphic and the ui will be unresponsive while this happening.

v0.7
Updated release today of the script only. This update adds the following functionality to the script

• Config file based settings
• Support for multiple providers

If you are a plugin user on 0.6.3 with a single IPTV provider there is no need to upgrade to script version 0.7 (Plugin v0.7 is in the pipe line).

However as probably the largest out standing feature on our list I thought it worth releasing the script alone for those that don’t mind the command line.

Install Guide
Download and extract the e2m3u2bouquet.py file.

FTP it to /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet on your enigma2 box.

SSH into your enigma box, then;

Please, Log in or Register to view codes content!

The script on first run will create a config.xml in /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet and tell you to fill it in.

Edit the config.xml and populate provider details and settings for as many providers as your require, the XML is commented so should be pretty straight forward.

NB: You need to change the supplier name field for the script to know you have updated the file.

nano config.xml
or
vi config.xml

Or use FTP to transfer the file for editing and replace it.

Then run the script again.

This will create bouquets for all the providers specificed and enabled in the config file.

Automation
To automate this use cron.

and press ESC follwed by :wq to exit the cron editor and save the entry. This will update your bouquets at 5am daily.

Upgrading
If you install over the previous version it should migrate your existing settings and provider to the config file based setup

Configuration


Start the plugin and then select configure to set general options



Select providers to configure providers



Press the green button add a new provider or press ok to edit an existing provider



Enter at least the name and press green to save. For entering long urls instead of using the remote control it is recommended to edit the config file (see below)

Config file

The config file is located in /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet/config.xml and an example is below. You should be able to edit this file from your ftp client (or download, edit, upload back to box)

Please, Log in or Register to view codes content!

Provider url, port, name updates
With the introduction of the config file based setup there is now no need for us the maintain a database of provider details. It’s now up to provider to manage updates themselves. The provider can do this by setting the <providerupdate> element to the url of a text file. The text file should contain ‘Name,M3UURL,EPGURL’ e.g.

The USERNAME & PASSWORD placeholders will be replaced with the values from the <username> & <password> elements in the config file

V 0.7.6
We’ve had some reports of issues with epgimport .

Initial investigation suggest that a recent epgimport update will stop it from working with any panel’s epg feed.

We’ll investigate further but in the meantime we suggest not updating to the latest epgimport version.

Update

This issue is caused by the latest version of epgimport checking for a ‘LastUpdate.log’ file on the server that supplies the xmltv epg feed. If the file doesn’t exist or the date within is older than 2 days then the server is considered invalid and not used. Unfortunately this file is used by Rytec feed servers but not IPTV panels.

We’ve released v0.7.6 which sets a flag in the epgimport sources to ignore this check however this flag has only recently been added to epgimport and at the moment only works on the OpenPLI branch and not the OE-Alliance fork. Hopefully the OE-Alliance fork will merge this feature soon.

TL;DR

New versions of epgimport have broken the epg for IPTV panels. You should avoid updating epgimport for now, or revert to a previous version.

Updating to v0.7.6 of this script/plugin should fix the issue on OpenPli and hopefully future OE-Alliance images.
