E2m3u2bouquet - discussion & support

What the coming day will bring us .....

I decided to radically and thoroughly modernize the ability to filter channels in the playlist for any “want” ... as a result we have the ability to filter any channels by a given “mask” or complex “mask” ... Who will need - regex tutorial is available from Uncle Google for free ... Basically nothing complicated

So....

There's a list of channels like this

For example, I don't need channels with time offset (+2), (+4) ...(+n) or +2, +7 .... +n... Easy ! In the settings of channel filtering we write an elementary “regular expression”

Then we create the bouquets

And, we get the desired result ... All SD channels with HD/UHD counterparts and all time-shifted channels will be excluded from the bouquets

Whether to use this or not is up to you ... if regex is “higher math” for you, just leave the regex field empty in the filtering settings and just use the preset filters for channel names as needed.

Hello, 2 ideas that I wrote to you....

1) add to filtering HEVC channels (many IPTV use this)

2) download picon not every time that program create bouquet but every week / 2 weeks / 1 month / x days

1) Using a filter based on a regular expression you can exclude ANY unnecessary channels from the bouquets by setting a corresponding “mask” for their names

2) Piсons are downloaded only when you have NO corresponding file or when the piсon file has been changed on the server where it's being downloaded from. That's the way it's always been. The “If-Modified-Since” headers are used to determine if a file has been changed on the server

filter based on a regular expression

here is a great site where you can create and check the regular expression you need -> https://regex101.com/

p.s.

An example of the above in my screenshots ->https://regex101.com/r/WGzFTB/1

I want to propose a more logical algorithm

Enable “Download picons” in the playlist settings and once you have generated the bouquets, disable this setting again. In the future, use the creation of bouquets for the desired playlist without downloading/checking picons. As you notice the absence of a large number of picons or the appearance of new channels without picons, turn on “picons downloading” again

You can return the “Download picons” setting at any time convenient for you or at any interval. Update channel icons and disable them again in the settings

Returning to our personal correspondence with you. I can add the following information to the m3u parser log:

1) Total lines processed in the playlist - essentially this is the total number of lines of the playlist used

2) Total channels processed in the playlist - this is the total number of channels in the playlist

3) Total channels parsed - number of channels from which bouquets will be created

These are three completely different numbers and they differ significantly. The first indicator - the number of lines in the playlist will be very large ... The second is essentially the number of lines with the #EXTINF directive in the used playlist ... The third is an indicator taking into account the playlist settings (unused groups, filtered out unnecessary channels, etc.), i.e. this is number of channels in the resulting playlist

What information do you need in the log output when parsing? The third indicator is now displayed - "Total channels parsed "

Hello. Can i filter individual channels from a specific category? e.g. i would like to make a bouquet of a m3u file, from the category "spain" with channel names with word "sport". Can i do that?

1) Regex-filtering is used to remove unnecessary channels ... Alternatively, you can use a regex filter to remove all channels that do not contain the word sport -> https://regex101.com/r/NATUUg/1

^(?!.*sport).*$

2) Your “problem” can be easily solved using the “templates” mode. There you can create categories, move the channels you want into them, set their order, and even change their names. About templates - RE: [Plugin] E2m3u2bouquet

p.s. jeepcook - actively uses templates, you can try to write to him in PM, I think he will not refuse to help you

enigma2-plugin-extensions-e2m3u2bouquet_1.8.2_all Only 1 bouquet can update. From 1.7.7 i went to 1.8.2 and only 1 provider added bouquet the second one didn't. This is a very nice feature for SD HD UHD channels I didn't know it could change like that :). Previously, 2 bouquets could be updated.

Please check the log (menu - log) after generating bouquets in version 1.8.2 .... What do you see there?

p.s. Arbitrary filtering using regex (regular expressions) for playlist channel names is an even more interesting feature that is now also available in 1.8.2

playlist with no more than 300 channels

Is it possible the new version 600 or 700 I thought the limit was only for 2 providers.

It seems that it counts the total number of channels, one I delivered with 200 channels, the other with 250, for example, a total of 450 channels, and the limit is 300 channels

Quote from jack82

playlist with no more than 300 channels

In my opinion, this is more than enough to try and evaluate all the functions available in the plugin and compare functionality, convenience, and “versatility” with any other “SW products”, both on the Enigma2 platform and on any others, for example, KODI ...

Hi, I changed the decoder and the key doesn't work, can I buy a new one?

Good morning, I wanted to ask you where I can download the following version:

enigma2-plugin-extensions-e2m3u2bouquet_0.9.0_all.ipk DougMac to use on OpenPLI image (Octagon SF8008).

#### v0.9.0 ####

* PEP8

* improve imports

* use setup.xml

* remove legacy config

I saw that on the OpenATV images the download of the version (V.0.9.1) is available but I can't find it.

Perhaps you are referring to the original e2m3u2buoquet plugin ... but this thread has nothing to do with it. The branch name is just a coincidence of names - nothing more. Try posting to the e2m3u2buoquet project branch on GitHub - https://github.com/su1s/e2m3u2bouquet

It downloads 3 bouquets but the other bouquets are not there. How can we fix this?

Just look at the plugin's log. It shows every step of its actions.

I added “EventViewer” which controls stream loss or its absence when IPTV channel is turned on or viewing it ... If “caught” then the “toast” message about the lack of the stream is displayed. A setting also allows you to attempt to restart the “hung” or lost stream. If the attempt to restart the stream fails (i.e. there is no broadcast), a message about the absence of the stream is displayed.

Will be available in the next version ... Perhaps this feature will be useful for users
