E2m3u2bouquet - discussion & support

Quote from jeepcook

Hello,

I have a mega big crazy list to proceed. The m3u8 file has a 288 MB size, the number of lines is 2133512 so more than 1 million channels. Between 800000 to 900000 proceed lines I have an enigma2 crash.

I can't customize bouquet because of an enigma2 crash in this screen too.

How can I do to manage this file?

Thanks

Just ask your provider to delete countries and channelgroups you dont want or need.

Ok, I will write a script

In the “Bouquets customization” menu, select “Customize bouquets”. In the “Bouquets customization“ menu, select ”Customize bouquets“, eliminate any groups you don't need, then use the ‘individual’ sorting - ”by custom preset“ or ”template". In this case, the plugin will generate bouquets only for those groups that you left in the list and in the order you specify

jeepcook,

I added control of free memory when working with temporary objects. Now, if after parsing any objects (m3u, xmltv, etc.), the free memory will be less than 50% of the total amount available in the receiver, all objects will be automatically “dumped” to disk, freeing up maximum RAM. It will be available in the next plugin update

As I said before, in this screen I have an enigma2 crash too.

Great idea!

The maximum m3u I have is 1250000 rows ... Tested it, no problems.

Mine has 1066756 entries so 2133513 rows . But we probably don't have the same hardware.

It doesn't make much difference. RAM control is done dynamically. I can even set thresholds in settings at which time objects will be forcibly dumped to disk ... or at the value of which the playlist's parsing will simply stop, to avoid a crash due to a lack of resources.

Stop the parsing before the end isn't a good idea I think. Interesting channels can be placed at the end of the file. We can't know that.

But it's much better than crashing the system due to lack of resources =) .... In case I will forcefully stop parsing at the stage of RAM insufficiency, I can output log warning .. and receive only those channels that I managed to “cram” into the existing resources of the receiver.

Hi

Is it possible to use xstream codes in this plugin or is it only M3U list as before?

At the moment only m3u of any “complexity” and “configuration” are supported, but if you give me a test playlist (link + login + passwd), I will add support for XStream Codecs without problems ... there is nothing “cosmic” there ... As far as I remember, there servers return a response in JSON format, which can be parsed and converted to bouquets without problems. I don't have any test account (or access) to this type of playlist

p.s. I won't be watching the “streams” ... I need to understand the server response format of such a provider to write a parser and converter to Enigma2 bouquets.

I took another close look at the API for XStream Codes. In principle, nothing needs to be added. Usually, such providers give you the m3u playlist when you specify the corresponding link-request. Let's look at an example. Okay. Your IPTV provider has given you a domain:port, username, and password, let's say like this

Username: pepsik

Password: AbRaCaDaBrA

http://some.domain.xyz:80

In the plugin, you must specify a link for the playlist

for HLS (preferably)
http://some.domain.xyz:80/get.php?username=pepsik&password=AbRaCaDaBrA&type=m3u_plus&output=m3u8

or for MPEGTS
http://some.domain.xyz:80/get.php?username=pepsik&password=AbRaCaDaBrA&type=m3u_plus&output=mpegts

And as a source of EPG, set the link as follows

http://some.domain.xyz:80/xmltv.php?username=pepsik&password=AbRaCaDaBrA

EPG binding method “by tvg-id”

p.s. If you use XStream Codes and your provider gives “poor” EPG, you can enter an alternative link, which will give you EPG for a huge number of European channels (at the same time, set the EPG binding method to “by similarity”)

That's it.

Thanks to everyone who responded and provided test access to analyze the response of the XStream Codes servers.

In version 2.0.4 not all channels in sections are downloaded, in version 2.0.3 everything is fine

In version 2.0.4 not all channels in sections are downloaded,

Regarding downloading playlists - so I haven't changed anything there in a year..... What are “sections” mean?

It all depends on which sorting method is selected, which channel groups are on/off, etc. There were no changes in m3u parser algorithm except RAM analysis and stopping parsing when some critical values are reached, which is shown in the log. Where is the plugin log?

Here is the plugin log, and for example the cinema section, there are 300 channels, version 2.4 loads 270, this is an example, I installed version 2.3, everything is fine there

The plugin was without a key, now I will post a new log with the key to the plugin

Here is the new log
