Bouquet Maker Xtream - IPTV Bouquet Maker (new 2023)

The data gets saved and written to file the moment you click create. So I actually don't know why this is happening to you.

Unless you are using multiboot and you are turning off your receiver and it might be caching the folder before the change.

The only other scenario I can think off is.
You are directly adding the playlist via the playlists.txt file but not adding a short provider name at the end of your line #youriptv

When you are creating bouquets, you are adding a new name in settings.

Maybe there is a discrepancy going on the first time you name your provider.

I will try that myself and see if it causes an issue.
Nope that doesn't seem to be a problem either. All working correctly even changing the name.

You can actually fully test it yourself.

Start a fresh.
Delete all your existing bouquets via the plugin.

Your json file lives here.

/etc/enigma2/bouquetmakerxtream/bmx_playlists.json

Delete the json file.

Setup your playlists.txt file how you would normal. Deleting anything you didn't put in there originally. i.e Name

Reboot your GUI

No we are starting from scratch

You can view the content of your json file in an online json viewer. i.e https://jsonviewer.stack.hu/

Open BMX. Rename your playlist. If that is what you did last time. Or keep it as default.

Check json file - see if name has been updated
["playlist_info"]["name"]

Check playlists.txt file has appended the name with #blahblah

Create your bouquets.

Recheck those files to see if name matches.

Check the json file to see if the hidden category numbers have been added. They will just be a list of numbers.
["data"]["live_categories_hidden"] etc

Go back into BMX and see if its remembered those settings.

I cant replicate your issue at all.
I have tried several approaches. They all show my hidden categories when I go back into BMX

i presume you have checked the source, saved, and run an epg importer scan after?

My plugin specifically looks for the original epg importer.

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EPGImport

if it doesn't find that plugin it doesn't build epgimporter files.

At the moment I don't have the answers to why this plugin has suddenly stopped working for various different people.

Because if it works for pontiak who still insists on using the worst image VTI, and if it works for him, it usually works for everyone.

And for dreambox users. You cant use other peoples plugins and gutemine feed virus. So if you are using gutemine, then no other plugins work with that.
But thats your choice.
