EStalker - Stalker Middleware Player (new)

Quote from rpcll

My EPG is off by two hours. You think it's possible to have a time offset option?

Er.. I don't think you can in Stalker portals. Its just an api call, that brings a few epg entries.

But we pass a timezone in the cookie, so your epg should be correct.

Fixed back button not remembering position on live on some images.

I have been experimenting with the EPG data on this.

So... it will download full epg on entry of a playlist. This will take a few seconds. The epg will then be cached for 6 hours. So the cache data will then load instantly.
Different MACs for one provider will share the same EPG data. So data is domain based. This will work most of the time, or though occasionally, different macs, bring back different lists for the same provider.

I have limited the epg download folder to 200mb. On a round robin delete basis. So not to overload memory.

Due to how stalker plugins delete epg data 15 mins after a programme has started - (utter bizarre behaviour).
Any new data after the 6 hours cache, will keep entries from the prior 2 hours. This means after a short while you should more epg entries for now programmes.

Just about to go out for the day, so I will do some further testing this evening then release it for testing.
It does work quite nicely though, but I got a fast box and fast broadband.

I am having epg offset nightmares again :)
This is worse than xtream codes.

I don't have time or the desire to test beta releases anymore.
There is going to be some plugin updates off me today, but I am not looking into any direct openatv 8.0 issues.
Looking around a few forums, a few people are complaining about issues in that build in general.

use new virtual keyboard. That stores your searches.

Hallo KiddaC.

Zuallererst vielen Dank für Ihre fantastischen Plugins!

Ist es möglich – vielleicht in einem zukünftigen Update –, Streams von EStalker mithilfe von Bouquet Maker Xtream (und möglicherweise JediEPGXtream) in die Standard-Bouquets zu integrieren? Das wäre fantastisch!

Not easy to do as everything is token based and needs visit particular urls in a specific order.

Hi all,

just a very simple question : what is the fastest way to quit estalker ?

i.e by now I'm pressing the exit button a lot of times, may be there is a quicker way ?

Sorry if this a FAQ !

Cheers.

Yep no quick way of exitting plugins on enigma2. Its step by step backwards until you are out.

I just remembered 2 weeks ago I amend the code in this to fix the epg offset. I never released it.

Now looking at my local github files, I have been faffing with the code. So I don't actually know where I am at with this plugin or whether where the current code is in a working state or whether I am half way into fixing something.

And every time I remember. It's late in the evening so probably too late to start checking my code.

Feck it... release it.

You lot will soon tell me if its broke

Er... don't know I been messing around with this code for a few weeks.

Removed internet check - it was problematic.
Tried to fix the epg offset, which was effecting British summer time UK channels times
Messing around with picons and image loading - smaller picons should now enlarge, plus other tweaks.
Messing around with not encoding cookie data. This might need reverting, but the few lines I tested were still fine.
Messing around with EPG data loading.
