JediMakerXtream is dead - newer plugin is now called bouquetmakerxtream

Bouquet Maker Xtream - IPTV Bouquet Maker (new 2023)

A lot of people use xstreamity for vod and series, and JMX or BMX for live. Its entirely up to you.

You shouldn't have lost your bouquets - unless you had thousands and might have had a memory full issue.
Which is why BMX is better. You can choose just want you want. Categories and Streams

Can you use the same playlists. Yes. You can change the location of playlists.txt file in all the plugins main settings.

But... at the moment all 3 plugins create different epg importer files. They will all match up soon when I finally get round to it.

Thanks..did as you suggested, using BMX for live and xstreamity for catchup etc...I copied my line into both. I only have one line at the mo but there should be no clash as I'm only using one app at a time!

Great stuff, KiddaC. I should've just gone straight to BMX instead of JediMaker. Maybe you can edit your OpenAtv guide for 7.3 which still says to install JediMakerXstream I think? All the best.

Add Plugins

Menu > Plugins > Download Plugins

This is 100% user choice.

What I install

extensions tab

cacheflush - clear out your boxes cache when its full or a set time. Makes your box run smoother

e2piconizer - my own plugin to download the latest picons for your satellite. Very good for 28.2e sat

epgimport - My epg/iptv epg downloader of choice

jediepgxtream - my own plugin to assign epg to iptv channels.

jedimakerxtream - my own plugin to create iptv bouquets

vpnmanager - i use this occasionally when testing some dodgy iptvs.

xstreamity - my own plugin - xtream codes iptv player

Note for all my own plugins, I actually install from feeds first. Then install the latest over the top from the IPKs on this forum.

You can just install the IPKs, but some images have the dependencies for these plugins included in the feed files (openpli 8.* is a good example of this)

I also have fibre broadband now, so I don't worry about speeds nowadays. If still on slow broadband, downloading a internet speed checker is always useful

Reboot Gui

skins tab

I install all my own skins for testing

kiddac-1080-onyx

kiddac-1080-slyk-r19

systemplugins tab

Nothing in there that interests me at this time

Reboot Gui

That's pretty much all I ever install from feeds. I like my box barebones. No bulky media plugins, no plugins I am never going to use.

But obviously this is the whole point of you setting up your own box. Install the plugins relevant to how you use your box.

If you don't know what a plugin does. Google it. Download it. Try it. Remove it. (You will rarely crash your box by just experimenting with plugins in the feeds)

A question for you, Maestro. Should I use both Jedimakerxtream AND xstreamity...or just one? I was using just jedi and that was good, now I have installed xstreamity and moved my line into that...works great but I have lost my bouquets? Do I copy the same line into both Jedi and xstreamity? Kindly advise? Many thanks.

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

Just wanted to say thank you. Great thread that helped me set up my new SF8008 4k on Openatv 7.3 . Thanks for ALL the work you do, such as your apps and extensions which are keeping Enigma boxes alive. Great skin as well..the Slyk Q 1080 one. Keep going!

Is there an idiots guide somewhere for the old Jedi plugin? I have put my providers m3u file into the box and can get bouquets of iptv channels but the epg does not work at all. Using the same m3u file in a smart iptv app will give me some epg info. The provider also provides an https url for a generic epg for some of the channels....but I have not needed that in the past, on the samrt app.

What am I doing wrong? Firstly how to do it on my Zgemma, without the extra URL?

And if that still does not work where do I put the https url to try that?

I'm out of touch and exasperated!

Help!!

yes that would be on first page of this section :)

Help!!

Looks like there have not been huge advances in terms of new tech or chipsets in E2 boxes this year? I am probably going to buy either the latest Octagon or the Gigablue. I see that Gigablue now have a "PRO" model but the only difference being an extra favourites button on the remote...as far as I can see? It has the same memory and chipset as the 4k, non pro version... Am I missing a better box somewhere? Not bothered too much about budget...

Also... any thoughts / experiences with bluetooth remotes? In my experience BT is a pain. always having to pair up devices. Do they work as normal, IR remotes as well or are they purely bluetooth?

if you want to drop me a private message (click the conversation bubbles at the top of screen - kiddac as participant),

with your iptv line and your epg url, I will see what is going on with it.

Its quicker than having this conversation.

have done Kidda...all the best

Quote from KiddaC

Does your iptv line start with https?

Is the iptv and EPG the same domain?

for IPTV at the moment I am using a text file which does start with https. I also could use a .msu file which my provider recommends because then it updates itself. I was previously using this on smart IPTV as a .m3u file uploaded to their server. I don't know if I can upload this for your Jedi epg app...or where to put / how to do that?

The provider also gives a line for epg as a kind of backup I think, because on smart IPTV some of the channels have program info and some don't. I don't normally input the epg line there as it makes no difference on that setup.

The url he has given for epg looks different in terms of domain name and it ends .xml

Thanks for your help...I'm not all that up on epg use...never seem to get it working!

Quote from KiddaC

A lot of iptv providers are now using https:// protocol.
If you are using an older version of epg importer then it wont have the code in for this.
If your provider does have EPG, then that is probably the reason.

There are many people who still use h2s with all my plugins and no major issues.

Thanks again for your kind help. The IPTV clears fine, I put the m3u file into the Zgemma using Dreambox Control Center...into Jedi playlists, playlists text . My provider has an Https:// URL type link for epg but I did not know where to put that! So I entered it manually with the remote in the Jedi app. Is this wrong? Where should I put that URL?

now looking to wait for the new Zgemma H10 with dual OS (or similar!) .... 2GB Ram and 16 GB flash

The H10 sounds good spec wise....

BUT anyone that has used a dual boot device has mostly been disappointed. IMO your better off having an E2 STB for satellite / terrestrial and a Firestick or similar for your app based content. The booting times from android to E2 is just one issue..... switching HDMI takes a second. Also android is crap at satellite.....

Thanks. Yes the reviews seem to suggest the dual boot boxes are a lot of trouble so far. I will try to get everything I need from a Linux box, probably Octagon 4k and should that not be sufficient with the apps I can always add an Android box...maybe a Formuler...later on.

Quote from KiddaC

Dont get an android hybrid. They are troublesome.

Any of the budget 4k boxes will suit your needs.

OCTAGON SF8008 S2X TWIN 4K UHD 2x DVB-S2X

AMIKO VIPER 4K V40 UHD TWIN TUNER DVB-S2X

Zgemma H9 Twin 4K UHD 2x DVB-S2X

JediMakerXtream has now been replaced by my new plugin. Bouquet Maker Xtream
But any bouquet maker plugin allows you to set a timer in advance as long as there is epg for that channel

Thanks for that advice...I am thinking probably the Octagon 4k now. Can I download your new version, BMX from Openatv 7? I cannot get the EPG working on IPTV on my old Zgemma which is on 6.3. end of life... poor old Zgemma... not that old ;-)

now looking to wait for the new Zgemma H10 with dual OS (or similar!) .... 2GB Ram and 16 GB flash

Any advice welcome..many thanks...

I am finally replacing my old Zgemma H2S which has been brilliant for years but is now showing it's age. You cannot run the latest Openatv or bouquet makers etc. Due to its lack of ram and or flash it does crash a lot if you try and run fancy skins or too many plugins!

I also now need 4k and hevc 265 codec so the Zgemma will have to go up to the big attic in the sky!

I have been looking at the newer zgemmas because my box has been reliable. Also Octagon, Gigablue... I'm not a fan of VU+ anymore...been there.

I am using an old sky dish for Freesat and the odd free Sky channel... and an aerial for Freeview with a 2TB SSD to record. I also run IPTV at the moment, through the Jedi plugin...it would be nice to be able to record IPTV direct from an EPG as opposed to just quick record?

My main question, obviously RAM size is important and most boxes now seem to have 1GB of RAM but the Flash size varies a lot. Some new Zgemmas have 4gb of flash, I think the Octagon SF8008 has 8gb and the Gigablue UHD runs 8gb. I have seen some boxes with 16gb of flash....the Zgemma 11S has 16gb but not the twin tuners I need...

I have also tried to find an Android, Hybrid box which are great for IPTV but none seem to have DVB S2 AND DVB T2 tuners...apart from some awful cheap quality stuff on Alibaba.

So what are your experiences, opinions as to which box / chipset is best? Is 16gb flash a thing? Is there a box with more RAM?

All the best.

loads but won't play anything....any ideas?

great news...and now to the EPG.... :-)

It was the blue button...wrong cam selected....many thanks...you are a genius!! All working great now. Is it possible to watch uk tv on one tuner and record on the other...or will my clines get blocked for running on 2 boxes at once?

MasterG...I have black hole 1.7.3 I have Just added cccam 214 manually...added clines in cfg in etc but still not working!! Do I have to do something in the network settings? DHCP maybe?

ahh...I dont have cccam installed ! I thought it was included in blackhole 1.7.3 but it seems not...I followed the tutorial you kindly suggested but I cant find a way to add cccam? There is no cccam in the blackhole plugins...

thanks again, I dont need to be a server...just a client. Just a thought...do I have to install any CCcam software first? There was nothing in the etc folder until I put the cccamcfg file in there....confused.com :-)

Quote from master G

Everything you need is HERE - Enigma 2 Channel List, if you just need a 28.2E list i would go for SGTFlipFlop.

CCcam.cfg can be found in directory /etc if its not there use this HERE - CCcam.cfg file for newbies.

I would recommend using Dreambox control center E2 and/or CCcam line manager, both will be very useful for FTP and creating C & F lines.

Follow this guide for setting up CrossEPG - How to : Setup CrossEPG and BlackHole EPG settings.

Master G..thanks for all your help so far, I'm getting there!

However I cant get my clines to work.
I have put your cccamcfg file into etc on the duo. Then I deleted all the text that was in there (was that wrong?) and i pasted my 2 clines in like this 1 C: servername portnumber username password 2 C: servername portnumber username password as it used to go in my old openbox
I rebooted and it found the cccam but doesnt clear the channels.
should I go back to your original cccamcfg file? How exactly do I enter my cline info?
Ideally i would want to try 1 cline for each tuner if that's possible?
Please Iould you kindly pm me if you dont want to post it up here?
many thanks
