thanks for the screenshots esuo2 as I am skinning these blind.

I will look at your screen grabs and try and amend accordingly.
They are viewable which is good, just not perfect.

Do you have a modern box.

Not all boxes will play mkv files.

Probably quicker to convert to mp4.

https://cloudconvert.com/mkv-to-mp4

select x265 if your box can play that video codec, otherwise leave it as x264

just edit that line shown in

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/JediEPGXtream/main.py

to

if "userbouquet.abm" in line or "#SERVICE 1:519" in line or "userbouquet.LastScanned.tv" in line or "_vod_" in line or "_series_" in line:

In oATV7.1 i have the problem that the default favorites bouquet isnt shown in jediepg

KiddaC can you look at this Problem?

That isn't a problem, its intentional.
Jedi epg xtream ignores any main bouquets created with ABM or scans as it only tries to pick up IPTV or custom bouquets

In main.py

you can see my code where I purposely ignore those bouquets.

if "userbouquet.abm" in line or "#SERVICE 1:519" in line or "userbouquet.favourites" in line or "userbouquet.LastScanned.tv" in line or "_vod_" in line or "_series_" in line:
    continue

use epgimporter or crossepg for main bouquets

The code is ugly and difficult to maintain. (It was the first plugin I ever wrote and my python skills weren't great then). Which is why I don't do many updates on this anymore.

It needs to be more inline with xstreamity API calls, as that has been updated and fine tuned to be perfect on pretty much all images.

It needs a way of auto correcting epg offsets, so people don't need to keep doing their hacks (something I already do with xstreamity)
It needs to fix bad epg data. (something I already do with xstreamity)

People are always asking for picon downloads, so that might be doable.

And series is very hit and miss on this nowadays. But most people mainly use this for live channels and other plugins for vod and series

To name but a few issues.

But the first thing, is to strip it all back, get a basic new version working, then put back in all the complicated stuff.

I promise you all, that as of next week, I will look into updating this plugin.

Life didn't go to plan last year (2022). Lots of serious health issues that meant I didn't need the stress of updating this plugin to the new version.

This week I got a few skin updates to do, then I am free to work on this in the evening.

One rule. miah , don't asked for an update every week, don't moan. It will get done. As mentioned a million times. Its a complicated plugin this. Its a slow process re-writing the old complex code. I need to be 100% focused. It might take a few days, it might take a few weeks. But this is on my agenda for the next few weeks.

New files on post 1

Just added in the arabic language translation above. Nothing else is new.

and a big tip.

create a new file with just your amends in. The screens you have edited. <screen>...blah blah blah </screen>

/usr/share/enigma2/skin_user_<skinname>.xml

i.e

/usr/share/enigma2/skin_user_slyk-1080-r19.xml

These overwrite the original skin and allows you to update the skin when there is updates, but your edits will override my file.

Have you recently changed skins.

There is a skin screen for standby. Maybe they set it as a white screen.

i.e

<screen name="Standby" flags="wfNoBorder" position="fill" title="Standby" backgroundColor="black" />

your skin folder lives in /usr/share/enigma2/[skinname]

Quote from antrabe

just one doubt i have because my iptv provider told me that my line was leaked to internet. It secure to use this plugin? or it maybe the nordvpn which i use maybe who stole my line?

There is nothing dodgy in this plugin. No code is hidden or obfuscated. Anyone can read the code in plain english. Nothing is uploaded to anywhere. Whats on your box is on your box.

Known servers get brute forced all day long via common username and passwords and even full random brute forces.
Also nowadays, a hacker doesn't even need your username or password, they will just brute force it with a stalker mac address if they know your provider domain.

The good thing about my plugins, jedi and xstreamity is it tells you the active users. If you see anything suspicious , log into your portal and change your password.
If you still see dodgy activity, then time to change provider as your provider is compromised. And if you can find your provider domain by looking on google, then you are going to get compromised sooner or later.

i cannot tell from that screenshot what your issue is.

It shows me where it failed, but not why it failed.

20:48:32.7393 TypeError: [Config] Error: 'ConfigNumber' requires a default of type integer!

you will have to manually edit the file

/etc/enigma2/jediplaylists/playlists.txt

New file attached with correction

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/JediMakerXtream/addplaylist.py

log into https://www.visualcrossing.com/ with your details, and see if it says anything about your account

And have you been faffing and tweaking things

And if anyone new to flashing images, wants to go through the motions of this thread and outline any confusing areas. Please do.

We've been doing this for years, what makes sense to us, might not make sense to someone who is new.
But I always try and write in a language that everyone should understand.

I will open this thread for comments for the time being.

In case anyone with different knowledge has anything to add.

Don't post thank you posts.. Use the like buttons instead. ta

Settings 4

Menu > Setup > Reception

Basically all your tuner setup/config/signal is in here.

We already covered the basics of this when using the setup wizard, and setting up AutoBouquetMaker

Menu > Setup > Decrpytion & Parental Control

Softcams

Parental Pin for setting screens and adult content

Menu > Setup > Software Management

For most users, probably only used for Flash Online, Install Local Extension (IPKs)

I would personally ignore all the backup options. It causes trouble, too many amends going on in images at the moment. Just do a clean flash now you know how.

Menu > Setup > System > Storage Devices

Already used to setup USB, but other options for HDD and NAS drives

Menu > Setup > System > Network > Device Settings > Nameserver settings

I like to change these to cloudflare DNS

pasted-from-clipboard.png

Menu > Setup > System > Network > Device Settings > Network test

Good to use if you think you have a network issue

Menu > Setup > System > Network > Device Settings > Network MAC Settings

for changing the mac address for dodgy stalker lines

Menu > Setup > System > Network > Samba

So windows explorer can be used to view files on your box. Installed by default

Menu > Setup > System > Network > FTP

So ftp software can connect to your box. Installed by default

Menu > Setup > System > Network > OpenWebif

OpenWebif settings if you want to view your box from an external network. Not recommend due to easily hackable

Menu > Setup > System > HDMI-CEC Settings

Allow your remote to control multiple HDMI-CEC devices. TV/Sat Box etc

Menu > Setup > System > Script Manager

Allows you to run any scripts that are in /usr/script/ folder

Menu > Setup > System > Log Settings

Handle Python Crashes. No. If its broke it needs fixing

Enable debug log *. Turn on if you have been asked to provide a debug log. Debug logs can have personal information in them. Check before uploading to any forum. Debug logs can also end up very large. Only turn on if you need to.

Crash at skin error for debug reasons. No No No. Can end up in a bootloop if a bad skin is installed

And finally most openatv users know.
Press blue button brings up the quick Launch Menu

And that is how I setup my box. Nice and clean. Barebones but essentials.
Yours will differ. But the basics are there.

And it wont take you 7 hours like its just taken me. I was doing it bit by bit, and logging stuff as I was doing.
Ignoring slow scans and slow usb initialisation, should take you about 30 mins.

Enjoy.

Settings

OK lots have things have moved since openatv 6.4, so lets go through some of them

Menu > Setup > Video > Video Settings

Default all look good

Menu > Setup > Video > OSD Position Settings

This is used if your screen is offset. It is much better to combat this via your TV settings rather than via your enigma2 box. Otherwise you end up with black borders around the mini tv screens. Your TV should have a picture setting for overscan, screen fit, picture fit, automatic etc.

Automatically turn on external subtitles. NO
