    Quote from Steffen

    i have openHDF i deinstall 2.8 i try the new not install


    root@sf8008:~# opkg install --force-overwrite /tmp/*ipk

    Refusing to load file '/tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_2.9.2_mod_iet5_all.ipk' as it matches the installed version of enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport (2.9.2).

    Unknown package '/tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_2.9.2_mod_iet5_all.ipk'.

    Hi

    This message indicates that the plugin is not found in the folder.

    Make sure that you placed the plugin source file in the following folder:


    /tmp



    Because on some images, when you connect via FTP, you are taken directly to:

    /root


    Images like Gemini behave this way, and most likely your image has the same setup.



    try removing the old version first:

    Code
    opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport


    Or try installing it using this command:

    Code
    opkg install --force-reinstall --force-overwrite /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_2.9.2_mod_iet5_all.ipk

    This error is not a plugin issue; it is a problem with the image installed on your receiver, due to the following reasons.


    Your reply does not include details about your receiver, the image you are using, or the skin in use.


    Any old versions must be removed before installation — installation must be done on a clean setup.

    • Missing Dependencies The package requires libraries/packages that are not installed on your receiver
    • Conflict with an Old Version/Package There may be an older version of EPGImport or another conflicting package installed, causing

    opkg to refuse the installation.

    • The IPK File Is Not Compatible with Your Image Sometimes the package is built for a different environment (Python2 vs Python3) or a different
    • Corrupted or Incomplete Download If the IPK file was not fully downloaded or became corrupted, opkg may generate a similar error.
    • Insufficient Space in Flash or /tmp

    The /tmp directory is usually stored in RAM. If there is not enough free space, the installation will fail.

    In the latest version, there appears to be a problem with the letters in the Turkish language option.

    The problem disappears when the contents of the tr file in the local file in version 2.9 are changed.

    i am very sorry , i tried to help , this is first time to work with different languages with plugins

    Hi

    New update for the EPGImport plugin version 2.8

    This update includes an important fix for an issue that occurred during the download and extraction of XZ files.

    The problem related to downloading and decompressing .xz files has been resolved.

    This issue appeared on Dreambox images due to limitations in certain Python 2.7 environments.

    The handling mechanism for XZ files has been improved to ensure compatibility and stability during the EPG data import process.

    Successfully tested on the following devices: Dream box receiver – Vu+ receiver

    The update has been tested and confirmed working on the following images:

    Merlin image

    Gemini image

    OpenATV image

    OpenPLI image

    I hope this update will contribute to improved stability and performance during the import of Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data.



    Finally, it is necessary to remove any previous versions before installation

  • XMLupdatebyiet5 – An All-in-One Plugin for Updating and Managing Satellite Files

    Dear Friends,


    During the recent period, we have noticed frequent and continuous updates to satellite transponders.


    Like many users, this required me to constantly search for updated satellite files (Satellite.xml) from different sources.


    This process was exhausting because it required: Constant searching for updated files -


    Downloading the files to a computer - Manually transferring them to the receiver


    With repeated use, this became time-consuming and frustrating.


    The Idea Behind the Plugin


    A simple idea came to mind: Why not update satellite files directly through a plugin, with a single press of the remote control, from a trusted source?


    After some consideration, I found that the main satellite-related files used by the receiver are:


    satellites.xml


    terrestrial.xml


    cables.xml


    For safety and reliability, I made the plugin automatically create a backup of the existing files on the receiver before performing any update.



    Further Development : After completing the update feature, another question came to mind:


    Why not make the plugin a complete tool for managing satellite files themselves?


    From here, the plugin was developed to support:


    Adding a new satellite


    Editing an existing satellite


    Deleting a satellite


    Adding a new transponder


    Editing a transponder


    Deleting a transponder


    To achieve this, I reused part of an old plugin originally developed years ago by the late Eng. “ Mahmoud Frag “(may he rest in peace).


    That part was reworked and updated to be fully compatible with modern Enigma2 images and recent developments.


    By the grace of God, the plugin was released in its current form:

    • XMLupdatebyiet5 ( Satellite.xml Editor by iet5 )

    * Official Plugin Description


    Satellite.xml Editor by iet5 (XMLupdatebyiet5)


    is a professional plugin for Enigma2 systems that allows users to download, manage, and edit the satellites.xml file directly from the receiver, without the need for a computer or FTP file transfers.


    The plugin provides a clean and user-friendly interface for full control over:


    Satellites


    Transponders


    With full support for open-source images such as OpenATV / OpenPLi, as well as Dreambox devices (DreamOS), and compatibility with Python 2.7 and Python 3.


    ⭐ Key Features


    Ability to choose the file download location depending on the receiver and image


    Add / Edit / Delete satellites


    Add / Edit / Delete transponders


    Easy transponder reordering


    Safe saving with confirmation before exit


    Fully operable using the remote control


    No computer or external software required


    Optimized interface for FHD screens


    Compatible with Enigma2 Open Source and DreamOS


    * Main Benefit


    Quick and secure updating and organization of the satellites.xml file directly from the receiver,


    without hassle and without manual file transfers.



    How to Use the Plugin (Quick Guide)


    🔹 Launching the Plugin


    From the receiver menu:


    Menu → Plugins → Satellite.xml Editor by iet5


    🔹 Satellite Management


    Green: Add a new satellite


    OK: Edit the selected satellite


    Red: Delete the satellite


    Exit: Exit (with save confirmation if changes were made)


    🔹 Transponder Management


    After entering any satellite:


    Green: Add a new transponder


    OK: Edit the transponder


    Red: Delete the transponder


    Blue: Reorder transponders


    When exiting:


    If any changes were made, a confirmation message appears:


    Save changes?


    Yes → Save


    No → Exit without saving


    Cancel → Return without exiting


    🔹 Saving


    All changes are saved directly to:


    /etc/enigma2/satellites.xml


    No changes are lost without user confirmation.



    *Important Notes


    The plugin is safe and does not modify anything without user approval


    Compatible with:


    DreamOS (Python 2.7)


    OpenATV / OpenPLi (Python 3)



    It is recommended to rescan channels after modifying transponders

  • EPG WEB GRABBER BY ZIKO

    HI,

    New update by iet5 same ( iet8 ) (saiedf)

    The following updates have been applied:

    The issue of slowness and stopping while downloading the Arabic and English El-cinema scripts has been fixed, with also the scripts which not working removed.

    A rearrangement of my personal scripts has been done so they are collected and sequential, while the other older scripts remain in their usual places.

    The organization EPG Import has been divided into clear and separate groups instead of the previous overlap. These groups currently include:

    Brother Zakaria's group.

    Brother Mohamed's group (DREAM EPG) for OSN channels.

    My personal group (IET5).

  • Cutsclear Plugin

    Hi,

    New Plugin : Cutsclear Vre 1.0

    This plugin is intended for a specific group of hobbyist users who like to keep local copies of movies and TV series on their receiver.

    As one of those users myself, I sometimes need tools that help me manage my content. After watching a movie, I may not return to it until much later and would like to

    resume playback from where I stopped.



    The Enigma2 system provides a feature that remembers the last playback position of a movie or episode. This functionality relies on .cuts files.

    Over time, these files accumulate, making it necessary to clean them from the receiver. For this reason, this plugin was developed.


    It may not be useful for Some users, but it is useful for me, which is why I created it. I prefer to implement what I need myself rather than wait for others to do it. I am still at an early stage, treating this as a hobby.


    Plugin Features

    CutsClear is a plugin designed to manage and delete .cuts files on Enigma and Enigma2-based Receivers such as Dreambox and VuPlus.


    Main purpose:

    • Cleaning .cuts files that are automatically created when using the Cut / Markers feature in recordings.
    • Preventing the accumulation of unnecessary files that may waste disk space.

    What does the plugin do?

    • Searches for .cuts files within a directory selected by the user.
    • Allows you to:
      • Delete all .cuts files at once.
      • Delete specific .cuts files selected manually.
    • Displays detailed information before deletion:
      • Number of .cuts files.
      • Total disk space that will be freed.
    • Requests explicit confirmation before performing any deletion.
    • Executes deletion safely and logs all operations to a log file.


    Key Features

    1. High Security
      • Deletes only .cuts files.
      • Strict validation of file extension and path before deletion.
      • Clear confirmation dialogs before any final deletion.
    2. Flexible Deletion Options
      • One-click option to delete all files.
      • Manual selection (YES / NO) for each file.
      • Button to select or deselect all files at once.
    3. HD and Full HD Compatible Interface
      • Live display of the current directory.
      • Display of .cuts file count and total size.
    4. Advanced Folder Browser
      • Select any folder on HDD or USB storage.
      • Smooth navigation through directories.
      • Automatically saves the selected folder as the default path.
    5. Operation Log
      • All deletion operations are logged in:
        /tmp/CutsClear.log
      • Shows which files were deleted and which failed, with reasons.
    6. Technical Compatibility
      • Compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
      • Works on all Enigma2 images.
      • Does not affect recordings or video files.

    Benefits for the User

    • Frees up hard disk space.
    • Keeps recording directories clean and organized.
    • Improves system organization with zero risk.
    • Easy management of cut files without using FTP or SSH.
    • Suitable for both casual and advanced users.

    Summery

    CutsClear is a safe and reliable plugin for cleaning unnecessary .cuts files.

    It provides full control, a clear user interface, and protection against accidental deletion, making it a valuable addition for any Enigma2 user who relies on recordings
