E2m3u2bouquet - discussion & support

You did it !

The only thing that will not work with your specific provider is EPG output. The fact is that your provider has simply “closed” EPG output in XMLTV format for all channels. Now it provides it separately for each channel... Why did they “close” the output? EPG in XMLTV for all channels — unclear. This does not add to the quality and customer focus of this IPTV service. In all other cases (other providers in the XtreamCodes API) - no problems... They provide EPG for all channels and everything works perfectly.

I don't know why this provider had suddenly a paranoid crisis et closed everything without warnings. It's a shame because it offers excellent quality and very stable contents.

Concerning the epg I'm using the rytec EPG and not the one from this provider. Everything is configured with the e2m3u2b functionalities (sort override files).

I have a question, with the next version integrating xtream api, will the m3u8 extracted playlist be recorded in the e2m3u2b plugin directory ?

Thanks

Yes. The way playlist settings are configured hasn't changed. I just added analysis of user-specified playlist links. If the algorithm determines that the link is specified in the XtreamCodes format,

<url>/get.php?username=<user>&password=<pwd>&type=m3u_plus&output=<ts,m3u8>

the XtreamCodes API interaction module will work instead of the M3U parser.

I'm not sure the playlist is recorded as file in the e2m3u2b directory but it is processed in cache, no? I would be useful to have the file available in a directory.

Why and what is it for? The API responses are in JSON format, so what is the point of converting them to m3u files if they are processed “on the fly” and the plugin generates ready-made Enigma2 bouquet files?

It was just to have a flat file I can open in my computer where I can search et test streams and had them or not to a playlist, it is useful to find some streams when the list is huge. But no problem if it has no way to have one, I will change my habits ;-)

Finally found exactly what I need, I can search for a stream, group, select the player to use and enable a console to see the playing url. It's enough for me.

You did it ! When you'll deliver the final version

Great !! I install it now and play with it ! I'll do a feedback during day.

First run, it seems that for your test you have used a specific stream. All the new channels are pointed to the same stream 1774383.

Here are some examples:

Edit: Every channel are concerned, new and not new. I think it's a channel in you language about treks ;-)

Issue2:

An issue with the display of exponent characters when selecting groups in "Bouquets settings", "Customize bouquets".

Example:

We have 2 groups named "PT| MEO+":

But in selection we have only one without and without these special characters:

Issue 3:

On previous version you replaced the double, triple or more spaces in the channel names by a simple space. This is no more used, is it wanted ?

Example:

<channel enabled="1" name="PRIME| NFL NETWORK ᴿᴬᵂ" nameOverride="" tvg-id="" tvgidOverride="" reftypeOverride=""/>

is now:

<channel enabled="1" name="PRIME| NFL NETWORK  ᴿᴬᵂ" nameOverride="" tvg-id="" tvgidOverride="" reftypeOverride=""/>

so every channel in this case are now seen as new.

My fault... I forgot to remove the DEBUG test stream =)

Quote from jeepcook

Issue2:

It's not an "issue" ... This is a problem caused by the absence of UICODE characters in most E2 images, and I filter out “trash” from group names... in 99.99% of cases, they simply won't be displayed in image skins. So you'll have to accept that this is one and the same group. The same principle of filtering “junk” from group names is also applied when parsing M3U playlists... we have already discussed this with you before.

Quote from jeepcook

Issue 3:

Here, I simply forgot to enable “trash” filtering (UNICODE characters) in channel names in the JSON parser for API responses... I will correct this.

Ok, yes we discussed about this before, I have a little brain lol . So for my example, I have to select both "PT| MEO+" groups, and do a filter in my override file if necessary.

One thing really great is the instant display of list of groups

Quote from pepsik

I will correct this.

Edit: I hope you will see this edit. How is create the bouquets sort in the "Customize bouquets" menu? It seems to be a "random" sort.

Quote from pepsik

I will correct this

Everything has been corrected. Are there any other requests?

Quote from jeepcook

It seems to be a "random" sort.

1) In the group selection menu, you see the order in which the API returns them.

2) Using the “yellow” button, you can switch to the mode of arbitrary sorting of groups (in the order you need).

3) Please read the helpers at the bottom of the settings window.

Where do you see random order?

Great I will test everything this evening. For the requests, I think I'll always have requests

No seriously, we have a very robust plugin. Thanks for your works, it's very appreciated.

Here is a screenshot of "Customize bouquets" screen, it's an "arbitrary sort". I can reorganize but one by one. And when I had the m3u8 before the provider blocked the access, the sort was not like this, but the api is like that (?). Do you want I delete the groups.db file, perhaps a problem with it?

Are you sure you've updated the post RE: [Plugin] E2m3u2bouquet

It seems it's the same content as the previous one, no new ipk file.

Edit: I did a diff with the previous ipk and the one in the post, they are identical.

But once you sort the groups in the order you want, the ornis will always blow exactly as you specified. Please refer to the screenshots in my previous post. I moved one group down there, and after generating the bouquets, all groups are in the exact order I specified in my settings.
