Gurman2000 I know some people find this plugin useful. But it was a plugin I put together very quickly.

I have spent very little time on it, and I don't really plan on spending much future time on it in the future.

It was never designed for all boxes, and next to no testing has been done on dreamboxes.

If it works in assigning an epg to a channel, then that is fine. Anything else is cosmetic and not really very high up my priority list

Cannot find regularity yet

???

What does that mean

V1.15

New file on post 1

in fact yes I can, python 3 is good, python 2.7 crashes

I can't replicate this at all.

Tried it on python 2.7 and python 3?

can you remember exactly which source you clicked on to update?

opkg update

opkg remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-serviceapp exteplayer3 ffmpeg

opkg install ffmpeg exteplayer3 enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceapp

opkg remove gstplayer

opkg install gstplayer

opkg update

opkg remove ffmpeg

opkg install ffmpeg

Quote from bmitie

Setting up a zgemma h7s for a family friend and they like sky look ie 1080 R19. I have loaded 4 images and at the moment using openatv 6.4 and I downloaded the skin from plugins. I then tried to do a few mods to make it look ace but I can load ipk files to box ok. However they will not install either directly or by going menu, tmp etc. I loaded some of the mods manually ie copied from another box. These were for skyscraper.

When using VUCC I get an error message

What have I missed? In other words is there another way to install the mods that I am not aware of? Or have I missed the obivious?

Help

I am confused by this message.

"I have loaded 4 images at the moment".... 4 images as in your own graphics, or 4 images as in a teams image for 4 different boxes.

What are you having issues with, just VUCC. You don't need control center.

OpenAtv. Copy the IPKs to tmp folder. Just do custom components on its own first, then can do all the others as a batch.

Blue button for quick menu and then select Plugins > IPK Installer.

or telnet/putty way.

opkg install tmp/*.ipk

Custom Components should install without issue
Skin IPK should then install fine
Then top picks and movie planner can be installed.
Epg Mod is old and not been update for a while, images keep changing the epg code, so there is no guarantee this still works or is problem free.

If you want to start from scratch, first try deleting all the plugins via the plugin menu. Plugins / skins

Reboot your gui. Change skin back to default.

Then tidy up the stragglers.

Skin folder
/usr/share/enigma2/[skin name]

custom components

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Converter/ any file starting slyk

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/ any file starting slyk or onyx

Files have now been pushed to my github. https://github.com/kiddac

So anyone can use them now.

the protocol of a url is http:// or https://

are you including the protocol in your url streams or just starting them with www.... or domain.xyz etc

CHANGE LOG / HISTORY

XStreamity v3.00

• New time values for player infobar using a my own version of Serviceposition.py component. All images show something different with their default serviceposition.py module.
• Removal of twisted downloadpage and instead use my own custom threaded downloader. Should eliminate https hacks, SSL problems and seperate python3 code.
• Better image handling for picons and covers
• Parental control - only asks for pin every 15 mins now.
• "allgemeines" category now ignored by parental control check.
• Fixed hidden channels reseting if another bouquet/category was edited.
• Removed custom epg url - People didn't like domain/username/password being shown - user would now have to amend this url in the json file for the very few that don't have a proper epg url.
• Removed full get.php url from info screen - for security reasons - see above
• Streams are now forced stopped before playing next stream on zapping to help prevent stream freezes if the stream wasn't released quick enough.
• If image doesn't have up to date requests or urllib3 library - it safely fallbacks to an alternative
• Removed update button for catchup channels check - just rechecks channels that have catchup every time on entering plugin now.
• Removed manual epg timeshift - (may no longer be required)
• Removed manual catchup timeshift - (may no longer be required)
• Added a reverse list option to catchup list times. Ascending / Descending.
• Removed some logic that checked streams were valid or had stopped - i think it was causing more problems than solving
• Changed default timeout to 6 seconds (it used to be 3)
• Corrected TMDB director names. It wasn't showing the director previously. Oops.
• Updated English po/mo files
• New aspect ratio code - green button on player if your box supports it
• AND THE BIG CHANGE - NEW FULL EPG - EPG IMPORTER NOT REQUIRED**

Due to on going problems with EPGs, I have tried something completely new. (again). Or more accurately copied lots of code from epg importer. ;)

Unfortunately this means I have removed the old quick epg again (enigma2.php), and also removed epg importer files.

Full EPG downloads on entering live category.

First time this download and processing might take about 1 min.

No need to exit plugin as it should refresh epg lists when download complete.

If you use XStreamity on a daily basis. Then the EPG should be pre-loaded and instant after first initial download.

If its been a couple of days or more since you last used xstreamity then you will have to wait until the epg downloads again.

(This is similar to what android IPTV apps do)

I have studied a few EPG times and offsets. I think I have worked out all the automation for this for the differences in UTC times, local times, British Summer times, server times etc.

Any existing timeshift offset query strings in your playlists.txt file will be ignored for now.

Most things should download in the background, but the way python works there will be the occasional lag or temp freeze as it processes large stuff in the background. Thats just the way it is.

XStreamity V3.05

well that escalated into full blown utter chaos faster than you can blink

Thanks to team linuxsat I think everything is now fixed (maybe). Cheers for your help guys. That was a difficult issue.

• added new italian, portuguese, arabic language files
• fixed python 3.9 multiprocessing threadpool issues replacing it with concurrent.futures threadpool where available. Or sequential downloads if they both fail
• fixed python 2, blackhole, dreambox and maybe VTI background EPG download.
• picons, covers, files, tmdb should all now download correctly
• playlist menu page has been changed to sequentially downloading of the 4 files needed to display, live, vod, series, catchup categories.
• XStreamity appears in main menu by default, can be removed in main settings.
  

XStreamity v3.06

Images that can process the EPG in the background with minimum freezing now do so.

Older images you are still going to get about a 10-30 second freeze. Depending on the size of your epg file.

I have been trying to find a work around for these older images... no success yet.

Added in new dutch Language files.

Added in new no frills transparent FHD skin called haze. (it has no mini tv)

XStreamity v.3.07

Just getting openatv 7.0 working again.

No other changes in this update.

XStreamity V3.08

This is still a bit of beta release. But we have tried to fix some of the previous issues in earlier v3 releases

Seagen has kindly been doing some dreambox testing for me. We seem to have eliminated a lot of the issues. But he was still reporting a problem yesterday. Don't know if this is a particular provider issue or a general issue.

url must be bytes, not unicode

Fixed openatv 7.0 keymap/actionmap issues. They have changed the name of the virtual keyboard variable breaking my original code.

They also made the OK button act like a TEXT button on setting pages (fools), which broke the functionality of any settings that use the OK button.

So I have had to try and override this stupid amend.

Another attempt at refactoring of all the code around threading of multiple and background downloads for various different boxes.

Reverted catchup check - update button returns

Tweaked live favourites edit. Menu button on favourites. Still needs a little bit of work.

Reverted stream check if live stream fails on streamtype 1. Now tries automatically to play streamtype 4097

Fixed short epg record button crash.

Added Finnish translation

Added updated Albanian translation.

XStreamity V3.10

Fixed skin error.Removed unnecessary yellow button code.

XStreamity v3.11

Fixed python 2.7 epg error

Fixed Channel zapping crash

XStreamity V3.12

Got openatv 7 virtual keyboard working again if text button pressed.

Do note openatv have fixed some of the issues I have raised.

Its recommend you keep updating your image as frequently as possible if trying openatv 7 image.

They are being a bit careless with some of their releases and obviously not fully testing the code amends or not considering 3rd party plugins when they making amends.

XStreamity v3.13

This should fix any crashes people are getting....but some images like dreambox and older images might still experience freezes as this data is being processed. Hopefully not to much of a delay.

We still working on other solutions, but for now this is the best we got for dreambox and older images.

XStreamity v3.14

Fixed VTi

fixed dependancy file line endings.

Put opkg update back into dependancy file (will probably now break openatv 7.0)

VTI, Blackhole, dreambox, openatv7, python 2.7 and python 3 should all now work.

XStreamity V3.15

New set time EPG downloads. No longer downloads on Live Streams screen.

Main Settings - set the time convenient to you when your box is on.

Images that don't allow threading (dreamboxes / older images ) will still get some freezing of box functionality when this happens. Viewing Live TV will be fine.

So set the download time when its not an inconvenience to you.

All other images should notice next to no freezing.

Main Menu - New Manual EPG download - if you want to refresh EPG to see if its been updated. Or if you can't wait for your set time.

Note this now downloads all your playlists EPGs in one go. One by one.

So warning if you have lots and lots of providers. There is going to be a big chunk of background work going on.

To test timed epg downloads. Set your time to at least 3 mins from current time. And reboot your gui.... then wait patiently :)

EPG files live here /etc/enigma2/xstreamity/epg/ if you want to manually delete them to try timed or manual methods.

XStreamity v3.16

Surely the light is near the end of the tunnel.

• EPG importer epg returns - for users whos providers use custom sids (satellite refs) in their data. tamiciav7
  This is a secondary fallback. It checks the downloaded epg, if no epg data for that channel, then checks the epg.dat file from epgimporter.
  Triggered same way as old. Go in live to make epg importer files. Go in epg importer select your sources and sat sources. Manual or auto download sources
• https:// redirects are now followed for epg files (now takes about 1 sec - rather than 7) urie
• Dreambox might be faster due to another tweak in our threading code. (courtesy of seagen testing)

XStreamity v3.17

So what have we broke this week :)

New Vod downloader.

Now downloads in background. Can exit plugin. Should show up to date info on re-entering download manager as progress is based on file size.

No queueing downloads for this version. Only 1 at a time.

Now reports size of file.

If IPTV stream from same provider is playing when you start the download. I stop this. Its up to you if you start it again. Then you can blame yourselves and not me.

For those that manually dabble with my files. The new file is called /etc/enigma2/xstreamity/downloads.json (old file was called x-downloads.json)

New VOD/Catchup resume

This was simple to do in the end. The components were already there. I just had to learn how to use them.

The storage for these resume points live in /etc/enigma2/resumepoints.pkl. This probably wasn't designed for 100s of VOD files. So might be best to keep an eye on it. If it gets bloated just delete all the contents of it to refresh it.

XStreamity v3.18

Mainly getting VOD resume to work on dreamboxes. (Impossible mission - is no longer impossible)

Thanks seagen for your endless patience with my tweaks. (There was a lot)

Might still need some tweaks, i.e. deleting old resume point data to prevent file size bloat, but the foundations are there now

XStreamity V3.20 same version tomorrows dateFixed multiprocessing crash

Fixed python 3.9 pickling (what saves the resume points)

XStreamity v3.21

Fixed live/vod favourites

Removed any reference to multiprocessing and concurrent futures. Just too problematic with all the images at the moment.

So now everything gets downloaded sequentially and not all at the same time. Only going to noticed a speed difference if you got too many providers loaded in this plugin

Fixed wrong default references in json files.

XStreamity V3.22

Mainly EPG fixes. Made the download less strict, which seem to fix a few issues.

XStreamity v3.23

Fixed dreambox infobar framerate

XStreamity V3.24

Fixed catchup if live not selected.

Put a catch around a potential update epg issue. (again not something I am getting)

XStreamity V3.25 Fixed everything

Broke everything

I dunno

XStreamity V3.26

Amended Dreambox infobar framerate code

Fixed typo in infobar preventing icons displaying

Put in another catch for dodgy providers bringing back crap and invalid code.

Fixed python 3.9 dependancy check

XStreamity v3.50

** Major Update **

Fixed Record live streams if no epg. (been broke a while that)

Fixed XStreamity pin - I forgot to change some screens in the last release. So it wasn't working correctly.

Fixed Vod/Series Info to be more complete - Provider default was being overwritten by TMDB even if TMDB was blank and default wasn't.

Added timeshift querystring back to playlists.txt entries - if preferred way of adding the epg offset

Added EPG download location setting in main settings. - for those who want to move it from internal.

Added new sort options for some levels.

New English Language files as base for translations.

General amends and improvements

And the big change. Combined live.py, vod.py, series.py and catchup.py into one new file called channels.py. (which was an absolute nightmare)

Which means the removal of lots of duplicate code.

Which also now means all these screens operate pretty much exactly the same and should make it easier for me to maintain.

All levels of live, vod, series can now be hidden. Including Categories, Channels, Seasons and episodes. So you can hide things you have watched.

All levels of live, vod, series can be sorted or searched.

Not a massive amount of change for the user, but boy it was a lot of change in the plugin code.

XStreamity v3.51

Fixed a potential crash in the download manager if python 2.7 and https line

XStreamity v3.52

Just fixes for things mentioned over the last week

Added enableWrapAround on everything for our dreambox users

Fixed a few issues with the Haze FHD skin

Added drop caches to the list pages

XStreamity v3.53

Catchup amends.

Catchup is filtered by live hidden categories

Catchup show/hide on shown lists.

XStreamity V3.54

Just a tiny update of a few things I have tweaked in the last few weeks. No real need to update as nothing important

Logo Tweak - straightened the "X"

Removed rogue hyphen line - server.py

Removed duplicate imports - mainmenu.py

Removed unused menu list and corrected the enablewraparound on the real menu list / removed duplicate variable - playlists.py

Reordered some code - plugin.py

removed enigma2.php reference as its no longer used in this plugin - processfiles.py

Minor amend to haze skin lists

Added reset data to main menu - incase you need to clear the json file - so you can do it from the plugin now rather than ftp.

Added a restart gui prompt to main settings for the options that require a restart gui

Added a default port 80 for playlist settings - for lines that don't include it.

XStreamity V3.54

New translation files update only:

Arabic, German, Dutch, Portugese, Slovak, Albanian, Italian, Czech, Turkis

XStreamity V3.55

Fixed expiry date block chopping off for some international languages.

New translation files

French - Thanks SunnyV

Swedish - Thanks seagen

Italian - updated - Thanks alexsanders

Simplified Chinese - Thanks xingchong

XStreamity V3.56

Added in direct source streams for XUI ONE panels - recording vod/series/catchup still uses original url for now. I had an issue and not got around to fixing it tonight.

Only users that have an XUI ONE provider will notice any difference. Everyone else everything should be exactly the same. (Hopefully).

Moved "reset stored data" out of main menu

XStreamity V3.57 (beta release)

Just a minor update of the beta - might still have a few niggles i need to investigate before I make it a proper release.

Amended menu widths to help with international language text

Amended "Expires" German word

Amended Sort button text error after filtering.

XStreamity V3.58

Includes all the previous beta amends

Fixed duplicate playlists.txt file entries causing a runaway list of entries.

XStreamity v3.59
Fixed channel list crash - if server was mega slow or not responding. Now added this for live, vod, series, catchup

Added in Alterative EPG url in playlist settings

Added in Estonian Translation

Hidden streamplayer log file. Blue button on streamplayer.
Tries to reload streams that fail to play

XStreamity v3.60
Removed failed stream message box

Extended Menu panels for longer international translations

XStreamity v3.61
Fixed VTI streamplayer hidden blue button crash

Fixed a possible EPG data clash

XStreamity V3.62

Changed catchup streamtype to be the same as vod/series. i.e if set to 5001 in settings for these it will play catchup the same.

Fixed an error in in my hidden streamplayer logger to prevent a crash on VTI

Tweaked The Movie Database code (TMDB)

XStreamity v3.63

Fixed series crash error, that I brought in in v3.62

XStreamity V3.64

New VOD Downloader

also forced domains to be lowercase. Might eliminate some problems mentioned of late.

XStreamity V3.65

Favourites list most recently added now at top of list

Lots of new cache clearing on all screens to possible help older less powerful boxes.

Cache clearing every 60 seconds while watching a stream

New - Recently Watched category for Live and Vod.

Adds to list after 20 seconds of viewing.

Ignores channels in Adult categories

Shows a max of 20 entries. Popping the oldest entries.

Recently Watched entries can be deleted via blue button. (you don't want to get caught watching love island)

EN / EN-GB translation sources been updated for anything that might have changed recently.

Xstreamity V3.66

Fixed lag on scrolling through categories - I was clearing cache on selection change instead of load. Should now be fast to scroll and fast load images again.

Removed some other cache clearing from certain places. Main menu, playlist menu etc.

Removed some unnecessary duplicate code on playlist settings (or at least I think its unnecessary). Might fix peoples disappearing playlists. Then again it might not.

Fixed manually adding lines via the plugin - problem ones were ones that redirected. This should now be fixed and no need to add via playlists.txt instead

Streamplayer

Cache is now cleared after 10 minutes and not every minute

Better failed stream handling. After 7 seconds, it tries stream again. After another 7 seconds it will switch 1 to 4097 or 4097 to 1. 5001 stays as 5001 as that should play if the stream is valid.

XStreamity V3.67

Fix epg importer channel file

Changed the download.json file name to download2.json to prevent clashes with older versions.

Amended a few more url downloads to prevent a redirect issue

Updated all the po translation files from my source files - feel free to fill in the gaps if you are bored this weekend

Removed some more cache clearing

Fixed a wrongly named variable in streamplayer that might have caused a crash.

General code cleanup.

XStreamity V3.68

Added in 4 new main settings options

Show channel picons

Show Vod/Series posters

Show infobar picons

Show infobar posters

XStreamity V3.69

Reverted my timeout changes that were causing some people issues

Added in the extra German trranslations

XStreamity V3.70

Fixed series crash.

It was trying to write a "Recently Viewed" that doesn't exist for this category.

XStreamity V3.71

Nothing new - other than the options to load xstreamity from boot. (which probably only useful for a handful of people)

XStreamity v3.72

Added standby (power) /deep standby (long power) button on all xstreamity screens.

Standby will kill your playing stream (and should resume to your last screen / stream)

Removed apostrophe from titles for saving recordings

XStreamity V3.73 - non beta release

Opening up an already playing live stream doesn't stop and restart the streamAmended the video width and height code shown on stream player infobar for serviceapp.
added in sd / hd / fhd / uhd / infobar stream info - also now included in vod player and catchup player
updated portugal translations
added in a catch for empty stream ids

XStreamity V3.74

Might have fixed the Vod downloader for people who were using a non English language

XStreamity V3.75

Just added in the slyk1080r19 skin for those that use that skin on their box

Albanian language tweak.

XStreamity V3.76

Fixed vod release date not showing

Tweaked vod downloader again to hopefully work on dreamboxes. (Fix for all versions, not just dreambox)

XStreamity v3.77

Prevent unnecessary downloads on catchup back buttons. Might prevent freezes some people are getting.

Added another time/date style for provider bad data

Tweaked VOD downloader again (for about the 100th time)

XStreamity v3.78
Fixed potential crash/broken screens for the newly added slyk1080r19 skin

XStreamity v3.79
Hopefully fixed Vod Downloader for all images, python 2, python 3 and dreamboxes

Xstreamity v3.80
Added in quick viewed icon if vod/series stream has been watched for 15 minutes or more

XStreamity v3.81
On loading plugin (after a reboot) if playlists.txt exists and not empty it gets copied to /home/ folder
You can now chose which stream url to use. Standard or Direct Source. It used to be just Direct Source if it was available via your provider.
VOD/Series - Fixed release date for some providers
VOD/Series - Added in release date to TMDB search for better accuracy of results if no TMDB ID provided in data. (Most do)

XStreamity v3.82

None ascii characters in stream titles were failing in python 3 images so no data was being brought back from TMDB for series.

Now fixed the URL call with correctly quoted characters.

XStreamity v3.83

Added Six library to dependancies. Most images should already have this though.

Can now remove vod/series watched icon by pressing "1" on your remote.

Download Manager can now be triggered from the channel lists. And you should know the rules by now. Don't record and play streams at the same time if only single account. One will cancel the other out, and you might also get banned by your provider.

Xstreamity v3.84

Fixed "All" categories not showing from urls from iptv editors

Fixed Vod/Series covers byte/string mixed url issue

XStreamity v3.85
Non urgent update, just prepping for a future depreciated PIL library element.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

INSTALLATION ISSUES

Cannot install plugin. Installation says it is already installed. Uninstall the plugin fully via plugins menu. Reinstall using the full .IPK or .DEB file
or

telnet/putty opkg --force-overwrite install /tmp/*.ipk

Plugin keeps crashing after latest update.

If no one else seems to be reporting this. Then it is probably old data and files causing a conflict.

There is now a reset json button on Main Menu.

Reset your json data and try it again (blue button on main menu screen).
If you still have an issue the upload latest crash log - (making sure no iptv details are in the log)

I cannot download the IPK/DEB files.
Please introduce yourself to the forum first.
Introductions

PLAYLISTS

XStreamity says my playlist is incompatible or no data.

This plugin is for xtream codes playlists only it will not play any other type of playlist.

Not all playlists will be 100% compatible.

Lots of main IPTV providers are UK football blocked and will therefore be off when the football is on.

Lots of IPTV providers are GEO locked to a specific country. Try using a VPN for the GEO location of provider.

IPTV providers do have down time when they are updating their streams. Try it again later.

Check your playlists plays in other apps like VLC player

PICONS / VOD COVERS

No picons/Vod Covers are showing.

Picons and VOD covers references are brought in my your provider. If these are empty then that is a provider issue.

VOD info and covers are incorrect.

I have seen lots of examples of this. This is a provider fault as they have incorrectly referenced the wrong movie in The Movie Database (TMDB).

Fast scrolling through the lists can also show the incorrect image. Just scroll slowly back over incorrect movie.

Can you show the VOD info as a grid of images.

No. This API only brings in data step by step.

Information is only available for the specific channel clicked on. It does not bring in all the data at once.

EPG

No EPG is showing.

EPG is brought in by your provider.

If your EPG is empty then that is a provider issue.

Your provider might not have EPG data
Your provider might not have set the epg offset correctly. This can be amended in settings.
Make sure you have followed the EPG instructions in the EPG post above.

Can I use a 3rd party EPG

Later versions of the plugin allow you to specify the EPG url.
This EPG must be compatible with your provider as it has to match your providers channel IDs.
Experimental.

EPG times are incorrect.

The majority of providers will probably have a different timezone than your local timezone.

To adjust your EPG timeshift go into playlist settings and adjust the offset.

Progress Bar is always 100% full

Check your EPG times are correct. If not change the EPG Timeshift settings in the edit playlist page.

INFOBARS

Video resolution incorrect in infobar

It has been reported that exteplayer (5002) is showing incorrect video resolutions.

I cannot fix that, but if your press TV/PVR button to change the stream type to 4097. The resolution shown will be correct

PLAYING STREAMS

Screen is just black when playing streams.

Press TV/PVR/FAV button while the stream is playling to toggle through the different stream types.

You might need to also edit your playlist settings to be a different stream type for that provider. 4097 seems to play most things.

If all stream types have been tried and you still get a black screen, then it is probably just a dead stream or your box is not able to play that streams format. i.e your box cannot play h.265 compression files.

MKV files are not playing.

Press TV/PVR button while the stream is playling to change stream type to 4097.

Streams keep stopping after X amount of seconds.

Playlists you have purchased have a maximum allowed connections allowed. Check the main playlist page to see how many active connections there currently are. If higher than expected, make sure your playlist isn't running on another device. Not all plugins end the stream when exitting out of app. Reboot your router if need be to clear all connections.

Playlists found on the IPTV blog sites. Will almost certainly be over the max connections allowed. These might not play at all, play for a few seconds or play for a minute.

This is expected behaviour. Channel zapping will restart the stream. Or use oottppxx's Quarter Pounder plugin. Quarter pounder will run in the background and automatically attempt to restart streams seemlessly. This works fine for stream type 4097. Other stream types will probably not restart.

Plugin can be found on his github.

https://github.com/oottppxx/enigma2/tree/master/plugins

Can I record Live Streams

Yes - Although this doesn't seem to work 100% on all images.

When playing a live stream. Press Record button. This should the show a Date/Time Input for setting the record time.

Some images this might just perform an instant record.

VOD/SERIES

Series categories are showin in VOD.

Some providers will include series in the VOD section as well as having a seperate Series section. This is not a plugin error. Just how your provider brings in data.

Can I download VOD or Series.

Yes - press record button on your remote when on the movie list (not categories).Downloads will be add to the download manager on main menu

Selecting "ALL" takes forever and sometimes causes a crash.

Unless you have a high end box, memory is very limted on enigma2 boxes. Some playlists are ridiculously huge.

I recommend chosing a provider that is not unnecessary large with every channel in the world. Quality over quantity.

To help with memory, you should also have set up a swap file on your external media which acts as virtual memory and you can also download and enable cache flush plugin that will help clear out memory when needed.

CATCHUP / TV ARCHIVE

What is catchup?

Some providers allow you to view previously shown programmes.

For example you can watch a certain programme from the day before, or a couple of days earlier.

Catch up isn't available by all providers and can vary in length from 24 hours up to 7 days.

Catch up channels are listed but not playing.

It is quite common for a provider to list a channel as catchup, but once clicked on there is no stream data. This is especially true for catchup from a few days ago.

Not a lot I can do about that, as I cannot verify whether the data provided is correct or not.

Can I get catchup for channels with no EPG

The EPG data is used to reference the start and end times for catchup. Without this data you cannot define catchup slots.

In my Jedi Maker Xstream plugin I allow the option of selecting an hourly time slot instead. This option might be brought into XStreamity in later releases.

GENERAL
XStreamity crashes.

Despite weeks of testing and bug fixes. Python is very unforgiving. Not all errors will have been caught yet.

Please report any crashes by uploading your latest crash log that lives here. /home/root/logs

DreamOS users find the crashlogs in location. /media/hdd

Be careful to check that there is no provider, username, password details in your log before uploading.

Don't wait for someone else to report it. If nobody reports bugs, nothing gets fixed.

XStreamity is very slow.

The plugin has been tweaked constantly to make it as fast as possible. This plugin is not slow for the majority of providers.

If you playlist is slow to populate categories and channels, then this is a provider server response problem.

Use a better IPTV provider or use a provider that doesn't have 10000 global streams that you are never going to watch.

Can I remove categories or channels.

All Categories and inner lists can now be hidden. Press menu button on that screen to checkbox show/hide channels.

How to add to favourites folder.

press TV / STOP / PVR or FAV to toggle a favourite channel

I forgot my xstreamity parental pin.

Send me a private message and I will inform you where to find it.

BEER KITTY

Do you have a beer kitty, or how do I show my appreciation for your time and effort.

If you would like to treat me you can do so via https://www.paypal.me/kiddac. Link also under my avatar.

Every little helps, is massively appreciated and keeps me motiviated.

EPG GUIDE / SETUP

** note to self - this section needs rewriting. Information is now out of date **

EPG Importer plugin is required for EPG in XStreamity.

EPG in Xstreamity uses the default XMLTV.php address for your provider. If your provider uses an alternative EPG url you will have to manually edit the json file. Ask me if you need to do this.

If any of your providers urls start with https:// you will need the epgimport.py hack as found on post 1 to view EPG for these providers.
Later OE-Alliance builds have this https amend already so the hack isn't required for any recent and updated oe-alliance images.

Copy the epgimport.py file over to

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EPGImport

and restart your gui.

Loading EPG

Step 1: Visit the LIVE categories screen of your provider. This will download the source files for EPG Importer. You only need to do this once.

Step 2: Return to main menu then manually download EPG (if you want instant EPG now)

Step 3: Exit XStreamity and open EPG Importer Plugin. OpenATV is Menu > Setup > EPG > EPG-Importer.

Step 4: Select Sources (Blue button). Find your newly added IPTV provider under XStreamity EPG folder and check(tick) the source.

Step 5: Click Save (Green Button)

Step 6: Adjust EPG Importer settings for use with IPTV
Automatic import EPG ... Enable
Automatic start time .... Choose a random time in the morning
Start import after booting up... never
Load EPG only services in bouquets... No (THIS IS IMPORTANT - I override this setting via XStreamity, but might not work for all images)
Load EPG for IPTV channels.... no
Clearing current EPG before import... Set to NO. If EPG is failing to load because of some bad EPG data. Can temporariliy set to YES. This might help clear old bad data.
Load long description up to X days.... this is personal preference. IPTV EPG can be huge. Start at 3 and work your way up until no issues.

Step 6: Manual import sources. (Yellow Button)

This only needs doing once to initially download EPG data so you can check its working. Auto update will run daily after that.
Observe the events being loaded for your provider. If its zero then there is a problem somewhere. You may need epgimporter hack. See initial EPG instructions above.

Step 7: Go back into LIVE Categories in XStreamity. You should now have EPG for all the channels that provider has EPG for.
Note EPG for proivders varies massively. Don't expect every channel to have EPG data.

Fallback EPG / Custom SID references.
Some providers do not provide their own epg data and rely on the satellite custom sid reference that for example rytec sources use.
To enable EPG for these channels you may also need to select the relevant Rytec EPG sources in EPG Importer sources. i.e UK/italian/Spanish.

For example if you have a Italian IPTV channel list, you might need to also select Rytec Italia XMLTV in EPG Importer.
Then in XStreamity live channels, it will attempt to first load the provider xmltv epg, if that returns blank it will try and match up any custom sids provided in the epg data via rytec sources.

How to use X-Streamity
Install the .ipk or .deb file depending on your image. The most stable updated image is always on post 1 of this thread. Beta version may appear in the middle of threads.

By default the plugin appears in you main menu and plugins. This can be removed from main menu in the main settings of XStreamity

Add Playlist

You can either enter your playlist details via the "Add" option on main screen.

Alternatively you can manually enter your playlist details via the playlists.txt file

/etc/enigma2/xtreamity/playlists.txt

Manual entry is in the format of

http://domain.xyz:port/get.php?username=user&password=pass&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Delete playlist

Delete playlist does not permantly delete your playlist.

This option puts a hash "#" on the line of your playlists in the playlists.txt file.

This comments out the playlist so it does not get shown in your list.

If you wish to permantly delete playlist. Remove the line manually from your playlists.txt file

User Info

This screen shows details information about your playlist account.

Including allowed stream types. Max users. Expiry date etc.

Settings

The settings page are the global settings for all your playlists.

Individual provider settings can be found under the "playlist settings" under a playlist selection.

Searching/Filtering

Search - Only searches the current list on the left. It doesn't search sub folders.

If you wish to search all. Select the "All" category and search inside that category.

Selecting "All" might be slow to load.

Highly recommended to use the new virtual keyboard plugin as found here, if you do a lot of searching.

Parental Control Setup

XStreamity now uses its own pin for parental control. This differs from your enigma2 parental control.

Parental control blocks categories and channels that contain adult keywords "all,", "adult", "+18", "18+", "18 rated", "xxx", "sex", "porn", "voksen", "volwassen", "aikuinen", "Erwachsene", "dorosly", "взрослый", "vuxen", "£дорослий"

If Parental control is turned on, Main Settings page will ask for the Parental Control Pin before you can access settings.

Turn on XStreamity parental control in Main Settings

Set XStreamity parental pin - new parental pin cannot be 0000, 1111, 1234

Parental pin lasts for 15 minutes before asking to re-enter pin. So you don't need to enter it repeatedly.

VOD Download Manager

6cb733d4aff065fa4ea.jpg

VOD / SERIES / CATCHUP downloads get added to the download manager on main menu if REC is pressed on video stream list.
Only 1 download allowed at a time
Download continues in background if exit download manager
Downloading and playing a stream at the same time requires a multiroom iptv account. Download will probably fail if only 1 max connection allowed.
IPTV providers don't want you download vod and may try to block downloads and cancel connections.
XStreamity is an IPTV player. It is not an IPTV downloader. The downloader is basic and only included as a bonus. There is much easier ways to download iptv vod. i.e via windows and because of this there will be little future additions to the downloader.

ServiceApp, Gstreamer, Exteplayer3

Personally I find zero benefit of using any these stream players/types and find them completely unnecessary. Other people find there streams play better with their provider. So it is up to you to experiment with various stream players to get the best experience from your provider.

seagen does quote that the new streamtype 8193 is considerably better on dreamboxes. So this option is now available as a stream type choice. No 3rd party plugins need to be installed for this stream type.

IF you really want to experiment with service app then use these telent commands to install. Stream type 1 or 4097 are perfectly fine though.

opkg update
opkg remove enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceapp
opkg remove exteplayer3
opkg remove ffmpeg
opkg install ffmpeg
opkg install exteplayer3
opkg install enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-serviceapp
opkg remove gstplayer
opkg install gstplayer

DNS nameservers

streams will probably connect quicker if you use cloudflares or googles dns lookup.

setup > system > network > device setup > adapter settings >

use manual DNS nameserver ... YES

Do not post personal MOD code in this thread, including different functionality, different skins etc. It confuses me, it confuses users.
Also we test most code on multiple images and boxes. Modifications might work on your setup, but may crash other peoples.
Start a new thread if need be quoting it is a mod and what images/box it is has been tested on.

• This plugin does not contain any playlists or channels. All IPTV playlists need to be sourced by user.
  
• IPTV is perfectly legal - IPTV providers/playlists that contain unscrambled encrpyted channels are illegal. User is responsible for any downloaded playlist content.
  
• We do not discuss IPTV providers on this forum.
  
• I don't recommend, promote or have an affiliation with any provider. Questions regarding IPTV providers will be ignored/deleted.
  
• Do not post IPTV provider names, provider URLs, provider IP addresses, or screenshots that identify providers in this thread.
  
• Check any posted crash logs do not contain any of your provider, username & password details.
  
• It is recommend you use a VPN with any IPTV plugin. VPN use is not the topic of this thread.

My plugins are free - you do not have to pay to use them. There are no alternative versions, or pro version or locked down to a specific provider version.
My source code is open so anyone can view it.

X-Streamity should be compatible with all images and boxes.

Installation
XStreamity is available in lots of image feeds under plugins / download plugins / extensions. The 100% latest version can always be found on post 1 of this thread.

The dreaded "modal open are allowed only from a screen which is modal"

Not looked at this plugin for a bit, so don't know where that modal is appearing.

But you get that error when the modal (messagebox) tries to open too quickly and the screen it has called from hasn't finished displaying.

You can fix it by putting a onFirstExecBegin.append()

on your first function that is called. i.e self.createsetup() or self.start(). What ever your first starting function is.

def __init__(self, session):.......

self.onFirstExecBegin.append(blahblahblah)

or put a timer on the messagebox to pause it by half a second or something like that.
