Glad you finally caught up and realised you got a mini linux computer there.

The sources in this plugin are from various public sources. i.e github.
I Not got time to check them at the moment, but if users want to compile a list of what is working and what isn't that would be helpful.
You can just post the sources in a web browser and see if you get a response.

xstreamity has a time check in channels.py

if int(nowtime) - int(sourcemodified) > 14400 or int(nowtime) - int(channelmodified) > 14400:

which basically waits 4 hours before downloading epg again to prevent slowness and flooding.

to be honest I have know idea what you jsut asked :)

try again

The next version is Live only (for now) ....by populate vote.

You cant bring vod posters/covers/descriptions into bouquets. Thats why you need a player like xstreamity or xc-plugin to do so.

You can bring in cover art if you use a skin that has posterx plugin mod.

And where am I at.... struggling. Spent several hours on it over the weekend. I didn't get very far

Now doing a file comparision of old and new reading every line by line to try and move forward.

I don't know what I was on when I first wrote this plugin, but I am not on it now
Crazy shit going on in that original code. Wizardry stuff. I don't even know how I managed to write it. And at the time I had very little knowledge of python. ha ha.

i dont think wooshbuild is a thing anymore but you do have grog and willow builds on that other forum.

The ever changing landscapes, who knows what it works on and what it doesn't. I't does work on openatv 6.4

I don't have time or the desire to keep up with all these changes any more.

no sorry, although we use fuzzy logic to try and find a best match, it needs a human to verify that match.
So their is no easy way to do this in bulk,

There is no openvix version of the tabs anymore. They changed all their epg code, so it no longer works.
Hence why the only file on that post says openatv.

Oh there will be gremlins, lots of them. :)

Unless I call this one Jedi Live.

The old Jedi still works anyway (for vod - sketchy on series). We just trying to make the codebase better, and bring in some requested new functionality.

OK, I see everyones point.

But what if someone has an external playlist for VOD, that isn't an xstream playlist.

XStreamity is only for xtream/xuione playlists. It cannot play any other type of playlist.

Therefore is anyone using jedi to play vod or series from non xstream playlists.

i.e github playlists, pastebin playlists etc, custom server playlists.

It certainly makes my life easier just doing live, but I think people are making assumptions because how they use the plugin, not how everyone uses the plugin.

Hello,

many providers already offer their line with epg and picon.

Most of the time, this also works with Jedi. When Jedi creates a bouquet, epg is included as well as the picon. But that doesn't always work. I have a line that contains epg and picon, it works perfectly with xtreamity and Tivimate, epg and picon are there. If I create a bouquet with Jedi, I don't have epg and picon. Is it possible to consider the problem with a new version? And I think Live TV is enough. Vod and serial does not have to be.

Thanks

The only way you are getting picons in Jedi at the moment is if the provider uses satellite refs as their custom sids.
The picons you see will be from the satellite ref and not your provider.

If using EPG importer, then you should get full EPG for xtream/xuione iptv bouquets. But some providers have the time wrong, so the EPG is empty.

Tivimate and xstreamity are players which allows the downloading of the providers api data which includes the picons and epg refs.
Bouquets have no such functionality. They are just data files of the stream reference to play and cross reference to any picons with the same ID that have already been downloaded to the picon folder.

EPG offsets will hopefully be addressed in new versions.

For picons, the plan is to allow the download of picons from your provider as a seperate process.
These will be SRP picons and stored in your picons folder, based on the unique custom service reference I create for each bouquet.

Making live channel bouquets is easy, where is the fun in that.
We strive to be different, we strive to be better.

OK I have run into the age old problem. Playlist sizes and slowness.

Just parsing some playlists. Trying to do this the old school way of reading the playlist file rather than the api files. (which we cant use for series)

1 example

5 seconds to download and write file. 26mb

24 seconds to parse the data and turn it all into new json data.

19 seconds to write the data??? 30mb. Hmmm... that can surely be quicker.

Thats too slow for one playlist and its not even a massive playlist, I got a fast quad core box and superfast broadband.

I will keep plugging away. Once we can get all this data into a sensible format and quickly, everything else is fairly simple to do.

I got lots of ideas for the new jedi, priority is to get the new version working and finished. Which will probably have less options than the original at first.
So we will need to go backwards to go forwards.

But maybe it will have auto server offset (like xstreamity does),
maybe it will have auto server offset for catchup,
maybe it will have the option to download picons (needs image manipulation like ePiconizer),
maybe it will fully work with series again (complicated - as one I have been looking at has the same category group names for both vod and series, grrr)

maybe it will fix all broken epg data (slower),

maybe we can hide what ever categories we want to for all types of playlists. xtream, external, local etc

Dear my KiddaC boss

I’m sorry to say how long we need to wait for new version please boss don’t mind

Thank you

Very busy and tired with my day job at the moment. Also when the temperature drops. It's just too hot to do much work at the moment. I would rather be in the pub with a nice cold beer in the evenings at the moment.

But... I am still moving forward. Currently working on the category selection for bouquets. This is all new code with different ideas I am trying.

It's slowly getting easier, and its slowly getting more and more complete each week.

To be honest though, some of the various different (bad) playlists I have currently got, to test with this, I am surprised this original plugin ever worked in the first place. It's a minefield some of the terribly structured playlists out there.

Getting unknown media type when trying to open stream on a dreambox one. No matter which setting (stream type, buffer streams), it’s always the same. No problem when adding the same provider via E-Channelizer …channels work without a problem. What a pity, as I have been using the plugin for a very long time.

Your bouquets live in etc/enigma2/

bouquets.tv

and then your individual bouquets

userbouquet....

Add it with jedi

Add it with echannelizer.

See if you can notice what the difference is.

Doesn't matter mate, keep plugging along. I will be offering no more testing.

so what does your log say when you get 0 events.

You never answered my question what epgimporter are you currently using.

Where did you get it from
