  • X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player

    XStreamity v3.94

    New files on post 1


    Just changing the way I close url connections once a file is downloaded.

    Might help with the issue people are having with downloading large EPGs from flakey servers.

    Probably wont though. You cant polish a turd. :pile of poo:

  • Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV Bouquet Creator) - Main thread

    wow. it must be about 3 or 4 years since I looked at that jedi catchup code.
    To be honest I have absolutely no idea what any of that code is doing :smiling face:
    And that line that has the double plus. Isn't even doing anything as far as I can see.
    I have said this before many times. I have no idea what I was smoking when I wrote this plugin. :rasta:

    It's a mystery any of it works at all.

  • Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV Bouquet Creator) - Main thread

    There should be zero conflicts with XCplugin. They are 2 separate plugins that have their own folders and no shared components.

    If XC plugin is now also a bouquet maker too (its been a while since I looked at it). Then obviously it is best to just use one and one only. Whether that be jedi, xcplugin, E2m3u2bouquet, aj panel or whatever. At the end of the day these plugins are adding to the main bouquet.tv file. So is AutoBouquetMaker. So that could cause issues if you are trying to run multiple bouquet makers at the same time.

    I presume Lululla isn't accidently linking to any of my files. And I am not referencing any of his.

    And this has translated badly. "they look like two plugins that use a bulletin board configuration."
    I don't know what that means.

  • Jedi Maker Xtream (IPTV Bouquet Creator) - Main thread

    Quote from ermanyalcin

    i have a question. I have created bouquets from my iptv provider with jedi maker. I imported then his bouquets with dreamboxedit program and organized it, removed some channels then loaded again. Does it create problem for jedimaker in updating bouquets ,epg etc.

    If you are reordering bouquets yourself you have to disable updates. Which means your channel list can get stale.
    It would be too difficult a task for me to trying to match an existing user order of bouquets. So every update, we clear the bouquets and create new ones.

    Like what urie says. For the small fee of about £10 a year, use something like iptveditor.com It does all the work for you, and is compatible with both my jedi and xstreamity plugins.

  • Create .deb files with Windows PC tutorial

    And I just went through the motions of this again and ran into a little error.

    Sometimes it does this and I don't know why.

    I cannot delete any files in my home folder. i.e home/kiddac


    If this happens to you. Just use another folder. i.e root/Debian/tmp


    or this command might work to give ownership

    sudo chown $USER:$USER ./xstreamity
    xstreamity being the folder in your home folder you want to own.

  • Create .deb files with Windows PC tutorial

    Debian on Windows

    A couple of people have asked me this. So I thought I would write a little guide of how I create .deb files from my Windows PC files. (or from an extracted .ipk)
    As I already have this setup and don't want to delete it for the sake of this guide. These instructions might need tweaking later.


    Enable / Install WSL2

    Windows 11
    Already pre-installed.

    Windows 10.
    Start Menu, search "Turn Windows features on or off"
    Make sure "Virtual Machine Platform" and "Windows Subsytem for Linux" are checked.

    pasted-from-clipboard.png

    Restart your PC if you have had to turn any of them on.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    or


    Start menu, search "Windows PowerShell"
    Right click and run as administrator

    enter these commands

    wsl --install

    restart your PC

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Install debian GUI package from Microsoft store

    Open Microsoft Store
    Search for debian
    Install

    pasted-from-clipboard.png
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Download a linux distrubution

    Start menu, search "Windows PowerShell"

    Right click and run as administrator

    enter these commands

    wsl --update
    wsl --install -d Debian

    After a few minutes
    enter a username
    enter a password


    pasted-from-clipboard.png

    You now have a linux operating system on windows.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To view file explorer in debian app

    explorer.exe .

    other quick commands

    ls - list files
    cd [folder]
    cd .. - parent directory
    cd / root directory

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In your home folder. In my case home/kiddac

    Create a new folder for your plugin. i.e xstreamity


    Inside that home/kiddac/xstreamity folder create a DEBIAN folder
    Your control file goes inside that DEBIAN folder

    pasted-from-clipboard.png


    Your root files also go inside this plugin folder. i.e usr, etc

    The folders must be the same as your enigma2 box.


    i.e

    /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/XStreamity

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So if I was to now create a new .deb file.

    I would copy my contol file into DEBIAN folder. Overriding the existing file.

    I would delete any existing folders for usr, etc and then copy a fresh copy of the usr, etc folders into my plugin folder.

    pasted-from-clipboard.png



    Then back in your Debian console

    make sure you are in the correct home folder


    cd /

    cd home
    cd kiddac (for example)

    # dpkg-deb -b <dir/DEBIAN> <new-package.deb>
    dpkg-deb -b /home/kiddac/xstreamity enigma2-plugin-extensions-xtreamity_3.93_20230126_all.deb

    pasted-from-clipboard.png

    this will then produce the .deb file in my home folder.

    pasted-from-clipboard.png

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    And the next time you use Debian app, all your previous commands will be saved. So you can just up cursor, to quickly load a previous command.
    In which case, I just change the version number each time

  • X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player

    Sorry, just catching up.


    Why are jedi and xstreamity using different service refs.

    They are 2 completely standalone plugins.

    A service reference has to be unique to be able to create an epg import file reference.

    So both create their own unique reference.

    These unique references have to also be different than any other bouquet maker plugin, so we try and create our own unique formulas.


    Both have slightly different formulas

    XStreamity

    1:0:1:0003:7095:000003e7:0:0:0:0:http%3a//example.m3u8

    green is a 4 hex number based on stream id but if greater than 65535 then red gets + 1 added to it for each 65535
    blue is an 8 hex number of 999 + index number of playlist


    Jedi Maker

    er...


    1:0:1:029b:f6d8:0:0:0:0:0:http%3a//example.m3u8</channel>
    red is a 4 hex value of 333
    green starts at zero, and for every stream in your playlists it adds 1. If this number is bigger than 65535, it gets reset to zero.

    This is actually quite a poor unique service ref and probably doesn't work that well nowadays as people have multiple iptvs they find online, plus these providers now have 100,000s of channels. This was originally designed for just one or two smaller playlists.


    It would take a lot of thought and hardwork for both to use the same formula and be indentical in both plugins.
    So many factors to take into consideration.
