I uploaded some m3u8 dtt italia lists on some of them it doesn't allow me to display all the bouquets correctly on the other hand the lists work I tested them on VLC and they work I was wondering if my configuration that I posted to you is correct for creating the bouquets

I'll give you my config

What should I see there? Regular configuration file. Obviously for some playlist with Italian channels... What exactly is not working for you?

p.s. What did I do...

1) I found the first available playlist with Italian channels and created a “card” for it in a plugin with the same EPG source as yours

In the “card” I included settings items responsible for downloading channel icons, sorting, dividing into groups, etc.

2) In the configuration menu of the plugin, I enabled the item "Import EPG after creating bouquets"

3) Then I selected "create bouquets"

I think there are some problems with the playlists, I can't create all the channel decks, I'll try again with some that I'll find, I'll keep you updated

There are no problems with your playlist. Screenshots - in personal correspondence with you

RE: [Plugin] E2m3u2bouquet - IPK

A cool function has been fully written and is being tested... Now you can select “needed/not needed” groups of channels in the provider’s “card”. Bouquets will be generated only for the groups you select.

Time spent getting a list of groups from a playlist with over 1,200,000 entries that is located locally on VU+Ultimo4K ~13 sec

This is the largest playlist that I managed to find and test ... You should understand that if your playlist is specified by URL link, then the time for selecting groups increases by the time it takes to download the playlist and depends on the speed of your Internet connection

This new feature will directly do the modification into the diff.override file?

This is the playlist group setting. Bouquets will be created only for selected groups. including only for these groups the sort-override template will be created.

Sorry I wanted to say sort-override ;-)

Ok great. But the unselected groups will be in the sort-override as disabled I suppose. If not they will be detected as new.

Quote from jeepcook

"unchecked" groups will not be included in the sort-override pattern.

I also moved the EPG import setting to the "provider" card and now this is set for each playlist (provider) individually

Ok ok.

Great thing for the EPG import in the provider card.

Just have to wait this version.

Thanks

Not long to wait =) ... I'm translating menus and testing new functionality on a py2-based image

Hello,

I've installed the new 1.4 version. Everything work great I think. The group selection implementation is very useful and simple to use.

I have just a request, is it possible to add a button "deselect all" in the group selection screen. In fact I have a playlist with 653 groups and I want to select only 13 of them.

Thanks

Already been implemented and will be available in the next version

Thanks for the new update 1.4.1.

It works just fine

Hello,

I have installed the new 1.4.1 version. First of all, great performances. With the previous version I had a 21.5 minutes for the batch and now just 6 minutes!!!

I have a problem with a selected group in my huge playlist. The name of the group is "[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA", in the generated sort.override file I have for this group <groupe name="[FR] CANAL &amp; CINÉMA"> but this group is too seen as new so in the diff.override I have <groupe name="[FR] CANAL &amp; CINÉMA"> too. Perhaps a problem with the "É" character.

Other thing. In the sort.overide file I have 2 groups generated but not viewed as group with the remote control, it's logic because they are empty.

<category enabled="1" name="" nameOverride=""/>

<category enabled="1" name="NoGroup" nameOverride=""/>

This last point is not important because I can disable them in the sort.override file.

Thanks for this great work.

Edit: no it's not a problem with the É character because I have another group with this and there is no problem. So certainly a problem with the "&". I will verify.

Edit2: tried this:

<category enabled="1" name="[FR] CANAL &amp; CINÉMA" nameOverride="[FR] CANAL+ / CINÉMA"/>

but "[FR] CANAL &amp; CINÉMA" is still in diff-override file.

&amp

XML escape characters

"   "
'   '
<   &lt;
>   &gt;
&   &amp;

I think it’s not a matter of &... you need to look at the playlist file, most likely there may be non-displayable unicode characters in the group name

Oh yes there is a space after CINÉMA: group-title="[FR] CANAL & CINÉMA "

But I don't know how to solve my problem.

The 1st time the sort-override was created with this group without space. The diff display the same group (and exactly the same content) without this space . And the channels are only in the diff.tv, create with the space at the end of the group name.
