CiefpSatellitesXmlEditor 1.0
It is used to view and edit the satellites.xml file,
which is used in satellite set-top boxes to define satellites and transponders.
Main plugin functionalities:
Overview of satellites.xml content:
- Displays a list of all satellites with their positions.
- Below each satellite displays all its transponders (frequency, polarization, symbol rate, FEC, system, modulation).
- Additionally displays optional parameters such as Multistream (is_id, pls_code, pls_mode) and T2-MI (t2mi_plp_id, t2mi_pid).
Editing existing transponders:
- Allows you to change all important transponder parameters via the configuration screen.
- Updates values directly in the XML structure.
Adding new transponders:
- Can add a new <transponder> element within the selected satellite.
Deleting elements:
- The "Delete" button allows you to delete a satellite or transponder from the list.
Saving changes:
- When the "Save" button is pressed, the changes are written back to the satellites.xml file.
- The XML file is nicely formatted and contains a comment with the date it was last edited.
User interface:
Two screens:
- Reader – for viewing the entire file.
- Editor – for detailed editing of individual transponders.
Technical implementation:
The plugin is written in Python for the Enigma2 platform.
- It uses xml.etree.ElementTree to work with XML.
- It uses xml.dom.minidom to display XML nicely.
- Parameters such as polarization, FEC, system, etc. are mapped to human-readable names.
- Frequency and symbol rate values are automatically multiplied/divided by 1000 for easier manipulation.

Supported tuners: DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2
🚀 USAGE
Open the plugin from the Plugins menu
The plugin automatically detects the tuner type and loads the appropriate XML file
The list shows all transponders with parameters
The current channel is highlighted and focused

### CiefpSatellitesXmlEditor 1.1 ###
Added features
Focus on active transponder.
If the active frequency is in the xml file list, the selection bar will focus on that line
if the frequency is not in the xml file list, the selection bar will focus on the active satellite
Sorting new transponders by frequency.
When new transponder frequencies are added, they are written in their right place
in the old version, the correspondence was done at the very end of the xml part for a specific satellite
Saving in two locations.
In addition to the previous xml file location: /etc/tuxbox
I also added /etc/enigma2 as a location for saving the xml file
