Enigma2 Channels Manager

Hi,

Now moving to version 1.3E , first post

Main updates:

• Full multi-language support system has been added to the program.

How the language system works:

• The program automatically reads language files from the folder:

lang

• Language files are stored with names such as:

lang_en.ini
lang_ar.ini
lang_fr.ini

and any new language can be added using the same format.

• Any new language file added inside the:

lang

folder will automatically appear in the language selection menu when the program starts.

• If the:

lang

folder does not exist or is empty, the program will automatically use English as the default language.

• The language selected by the user is automatically saved inside:

settings.ini

Language selection location:

• From the main menu:

Langauge

• Or from:

Options > General > Interface Language

Currently added languages:

• English:

• Arabic:

• French:

• German:

• Russian:

• Chinese:

lang_ar.ini
lang_en.ini
lang_fr.ini
lang_de.ini
lang_ru.ini
lang_zh.ini

Language folder structure:

lang\
lang_en.ini
lang_ar.ini
lang_fr.ini
lang_de.ini
lang_ru.ini
lang_zh.ini

Some great work, thanks. I will move the thread to the settings editor section of forum.

Some comments/feedback.

1. Why are you obtaining the cable, satellites and terrestrial XML files? Enigma2 does not use them for tuning, it just uses it for validating positions and a list of transponders/muxes to scan. This is a fundamental flaw why some channel list always have outdated xml files and overwrite newer ones. I presume when you transfer them back, you will send to user location /etc/enigma2/ even though they were originally in system location /etc/tuxbox/ This will mean scans will always use the older one. I think you should make the xml files optional, but they are not needed in a channels editor. You should also include the atsc.xml file if/when you do the files.

You are counting some non-countable markers like the bouquet names.

Empty number place holders should really show as what they are instead of N/A. Whether they are counted or uncounted.

`1:320:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:`

The picon fetching missed quite a few for me even though they are present on the receiver. I hope you support the utf8snp naming protocol as that is better and has replaced snp.

May also be beneficial to have the cumulative counting that Enigma2 uses instead of just "alternative numbering" where every bouquet starts at 1. I hope you can consider adding the lcndb function that ATV added to images.

I will take your comments and suggestions into consideration, and I will try as much as possible to implement what can be done if possible.
