Hi all, I have just started having an issue with my EPG on Openwebif, currently using BH 2.1.5 Openwebif 0.4.3

I noticed the EPG via Openwebif had stopped working, it turns out the issue is that Autobouquets is generating channel names with non-printable ASCII characters in them, I'm not sure how this is happening but it applies to certain channels such as the RTE channel which has the E as RTÉ . The on-screen EPG cannot handle this either but copes by dropping the channel from the EPG (at least for Cool TV)

It may be this issue is already fixed but if like me you are running older versions I have coded a fix in python to clean up the bouquets that are generated so I thought I would share it here, if you add it to bhcron after autobouquets has run it will remove the non-printable characters.

Uploaded as a txt file, you'll also need to make it executable with a chmod +x before use.

regards

If you want this code to also reload the bouquet for enigma2 you should add this line to the bottom without any indentation:

os.system("wget --output-document /dev/null

")

new code here also

Thanks for sharing this mate...

Merely out of interest which Bouquet Maker does BH use, the LRaizer ABM 28.2 one or the improved one that does cable and a few other satellites too?

It could be worth pointing out to either the BH or Open Alliance Team for them to fix at source?

The setup I'm using is a backup image provided by Ten Below it has the Autobouquet 28.2 by LRaizer, specifically enigma2-plugin-extensions-autobouquets-e2

I'd be happy to give feedback but this is all new to me so I don't know where to look to see if it has been fixed in later versions and also where to let the authors/maintainers know about the issue I have had. Any advice would be gratefully received.

This issue has been fixed in a later release, https://vuplus-images.co.uk/index.php?threads/autobouquets-e2.192/
I'm actually using a release from January which doesn't seem to have been posted to the site yet
