  • Enigma2 Channels Manager

    Hi,

    Now moved to version 1.3B - first post

    Issues related to IPTV channels, streaming, and Streamrelay have been fixed, including the problem of duplicated names after markers. Full support has also been added for 5002 channels (extplayer3 / Webcams), along with major improvements in loading speed for very large bouquets.

    • Increased the maximum channel limit from 20,000 to 100,000.

    • Added core IPTV fields (is_iptv and url) inside the channel structure.

    • Added full support for stream type 5002.

    • Improved IPTV channel name and URL extraction.

    • Improved bouquet saving and automatic description writing when a channel name is available.

    • Fixed the damaged and missing code section that was causing build failures.

    • Significantly improved channel search performance.

    • Implemented direct comparison using:

    • Service ID
    • Transponder ID
    • Network ID
    • Namespace

    instead of repeated text parsing, resulting in much better speed and accuracy.

    • Separated IPTV channel comparison logic from DVB channel comparison to improve matching performance and accuracy.

    • Prevented duplicated marker names and IPTV channels with zero identifiers.

    • Added full support for correctly extracting names from 5002 channels.

    • Improved folder loading speed using a fast lookup table instead of slow recursive searching.

    • Fixed freezing and the:

    "Program Not Responding"

    state that occurred while loading very large bouquets, especially IPTV and Webcam bouquets.

    Hi,


    I have started working on most of the modifications, but unfortunately I do not have enough time for proper testing.

    Could you help me with testing? I can send you a private version tomorrow for you to try.

    Quote from mesino

    The subbouquets are now showing up, but if you click on one of them, no channels appear anywhere. That's what I think is missing.

    Hi,

    I developed this software, and I also took the time to help resolve the issue you experienced. I was a little surprised not to receive even a simple word of appreciation from you , it could encourage me to keep improving the software and providing assistance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    I have moved some channels into a Sub Folder and attached two screenshots for reference:

    • The first screenshot is from the PC application.
    • The second screenshot is from the receiver.

    Both screenshots clearly show that the channels are actually present inside the Sub Folder and have been saved correctly.


    Therefore, I am unable to provide any further assistance regarding this issue, as the program is working properly and I cannot do nay thin more .

    What's New:

    • Added the ability to create a Sub Folder within the bouquets list/tree.

    Quote from mesino

    No, that's not it.

    It's a bouquet that contains several sub-bouquets.


    Like the sub-bouquets that BouquetMakeXtream makes, for example.

    I think you may not have looked closely at the screenshot. A feature for creating sub-folders under any folder has already been implemented. As shown in the image, S1, S2, and S3 are all sub-folders created under the parent folder


    I have only tested it inside the Favorites folder, but it can also be added under any other bouquet or folder.

    Quote from emlprg

    Windows Defender blocked it as a virus

    Bitdefender - ًWindow defender and some other antivirus programs may sometimes flag or block applications built with Visual Studio. This does not necessarily mean that the application contains malware. Common reasons include the lack of a digital signature (Code Signing), low reputation because the file is new and unknown, and the use of networking features such as FTP and Telnet, which can be considered sensitive behavior by security software. In many cases, these detections are simply false positives rather than genuine malware findings. It is always recommended to review the detection details provided by the antivirus software before assuming that the file is infected.

    Hi,

    I am user just like you for more than 25 years, and I have always been passionate about satellite technology and receiver systems. Over the years, I noticed a number of limitations and shortcomings in the available software, as well as several features and ideas that I wished existed to make daily tasks easier and improve the overall user experience.

    For this reason, I decided to develop this software based on my own vision and practical experience in the field. My goal was to address the issues I personally encountered over the years while adding the features, improvements, and functionality that I always felt were missing.

    The result is a tool designed to be practical, fast, lightweight, and easy to use, with a strong focus on efficiency, stability, and user convenience. My aim is to provide a better experience for users by combining powerful functionality with simplicity and performance.


    As with any software project, we may encounter some issues or unexpected problems along the way. However, continuous improvement is an important part of the development process, and we will always strive to identify, fix, and improve any issues that arise. Our goal is to keep refining the software until it reaches the highest possible level of stability, reliability, and performance.
