Hi,

When watching a movie through this image with ajpanel these graphics appear and I don't know how to remove them

Has anyone had a solution for this in other cases it works fine

This does not come from AJPanel. It comes from the image and can be disabled from the system menu (image dependent).

To skip using AJPaenl, just show its bar (normally with long Exit key) then use the《 and 》keys to skip. Or use the left/right arrows to see a kind of cursor that points to skip position then click OK.

You can use the digits keys to change the skip period.

Hi guys,

I have set up a local IPTV proxy that publishes a

playlist with the link http://192.168.1.8:7095/v/s/IPTV.m3u.

I enter this link to playlist.txt and AJ Panel (IPTV Server from playlist) is giving me

„No valid URLs line“

When I open this link in a browser a file called m3u-IPTV.m3u

is downloaded. The content of the is like this:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:0 CUID="222af5e9573d40085017c98bf58a926b" channel-id="1" channel-number="1" group-title="|DE| SKY FILM UND SERIE" tvg-chno="1" tvg-id="1" tvg-logo="http://192.168.1.8:7095/api/files/5/http%3A%2F%2Flogo.protv.cc%2Fpicons-dino%2Flogos%2Fskycinemapremierenplus24.png" tvg-name="DE - SKY CINEMA PREMIEREN +24 UHD",DE - SKY CINEMA PREMIEREN +24 UHD

What am I doing wrong?

This is a local address and is normally used to stream to your computer (e.g. using VLC).

AJPanel expects another URL format where it decides how to access a subscription server and the server responds differently

Hi... thanks for the job...a question..It could be possible to have epg guide when i download channels from the Mac portal to transfer them to enigma 2 bouquet?

The EPG from server can be updated as follows:

1- Play a channel from any IPTV bouquet.

2- From AJPanel main page, select "IPTV" then "Update Current Bouquet EPG (from IPTV Server)".

This will detect the server type for the channels in the bouquet and will try to download the EPG from the server to update the system.

----------------------‐--------

Note:

Just make sure that the system is set to cache the EPG and that the path exists. Example from OpenPLi menu:

Setup >> System >> EPG >> Location EPG Cache file.

You will either see:

/media/hdd/epg.dat

or

/media/usb/epg.dat

So, just ensure that you the path is correct (hdd or usb).

----------------------‐--------

The discussed option was separated from download process to enable the users to update their bouquets EPG at any time (without downloading the channels again).

Quote from azamsaghir

È utile creare uno strumento in AJ Panel che analizzi un elenco di portali e classifichi i portali in base ai migliori tempi di ping?

Potrebbe volerci troppo tempo per l'analisi, ma può essere molto utile quando si sceglie di connettersi ai server più veloci.

L'opzione "Verifica e filtra" (pulsante blu) controlla l'accessibilità di tutti i server nella tabella. Creerà un altro file filtrando solo i server funzionanti.

Il filtraggio fa poche cose per decidere se il server è accessibile o meno. Il ping non è sufficiente.

Testare la velocità è un po' difficile perché devi riprodurre un canale per giudicare.

Ci sono casi in cui la risposta del server è veloce ma la riproduzione del canale è lenta. E viceversa.

E in alcuni casi la velocità è diversa tra Live e VOD.

Anche la selezione di un lettore adatto per ciascun server ha un ruolo importante in termini di prestazioni (4097/5001/5002/8192).

I notify a problem when i download channels from Mac portal to enigma 2 bouquet..when i change Channel the change Is slow and It appears a Rolling icon on the screen ..thanks

Besides network/internet quality, server access speed mainly depends on the server you are using.

Changing the player (4097/5001/5002/8182) sometimes help.

Quote from azamsaghir

Is their any value in building a tool in AJ Panel which analyses a portal list and ranks the portals in order of best ping times?

May be it will take too long to analyse but it can be very useful when choosing to connect to the fastest servers.

The option "Check & Filter" (Blue button) checks the accessibilty of all the servers in the table. It will create another file filtering only the working servers.

The filtering does few things to decide whether the server is accessible or not. Pinging is not enough.

Testing the speed is a bit difficult because you have to play a channel to judge.

There are cases where the server response is fast but playing the channel is slow. And vice versa.

And, in some cases the speed is different between Live and VOD.

Selecting a suitable player for each server also has a big role with performance (4097/5001/5002/8192).

- Improved PIcons option "Suggest PIcons for Current Channel" to use case-insensitive search (for better result).

Have IPTV channel "ccn" - its only one channel in the bouquet (attached)

Folder (media/hdd/picons/) have only 3x picons with name "cnn" (cnn.png; cnninternational.png & ccnturk.png) files attached

- Added functionality to the option "Copy EPG between Channels (from xml file)" to chain DVB to DVB Channels.

could you kindly provide more details how this function work, with file "XML"( file with expamles for 2 -3 channels) please

thank you

The purpose of this function is to copy EPG and PIcons between channels.

The picture is a quick guide of the process.

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

1- Create new EPG-Sharing File (Project)

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

Here you can create the xml that will contain your collection of channels.

The step are easy to follow.

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

2- Link EPG Source-Channel to the Channel with no EPG

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

This is were you can add channel bindings.

In this example, I have "Dubai One" (on Badr 26.0E) with EPG.

However, I prefer to watch the "Dubai One HD" (on NileSat 7.0W) which does not have EPG.

And here is how we link them:

2.1- Click "Add".

2.2- Select "DVB to DVB" as both channels are DVB type.

Note : You can also copy EPG from a DVB channel to IPTV channels (if we select "DVB to IPTV").

2.3- Here you can bind as many channels as you need as follows:

a- Select the source of EPG on the left (the Menu and Red buttons are helpful).

b- Click the Yellow button which will find the closest name on the right (use the right arrow to move the cursor on th right to the channel you need to copy the EPG to).

c- Click the Blue Button to save your selection.

Repeat Step-3 to add as many bindings as you need. Then you exit this channel browser.

Note : Exit by double-clicking the Cancel/Exit button or from Menu.

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

3- Copy EPG

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

Now we are back to the table with the added channel bindings.

You can start copying the EPG for all the channels in the table with the Yellow Button.

Note: you can also copy the PIcons (if you want).

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

The xml file is now ready and can be used at any time to update the EPG.

You may also share it with others for the same purpose.

AJ version 9.2 - have problem with picon if they are named like channels name.

for exsamples "carac1.png"

in the card "suggest picon for current channels" - will not fand this picon

bud picons if have "ref. number instead name" - no problem for suggest

could you look at issue please

ps.

maybe you can make some kind of "list"; there will be 2-7 different channel names and these channels will be linked with one picon

like: euronews De, euronews Deuch, euronew germany....will be linked to "one" picon "euronewsde.png"this will be useful when updating-downloading a new list; bouquet iptv and there will be no need to connect any more icons, except when the channels come with a new name :) , then just add this name to the list

thank you

Display More

The suggested PIcons are based on:

1- Closer names to the channel name (up to 50% similar).

2- Closer Reference codes.

3- Files with same name as channel name (case-sensitive).

To find a PIcon with the same name as the channel name, the letters must match. This means if channel name is "Carac1", it will not suggest "carac1.png".

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

The coming update will be improved to include file names that use all small-letters or all capital-letters name. So, it will suggest the files "Carac1.png" ,

"carac1.png" and "CARAC1.png" (if they exist).

okay had a bit of time to mess tonight, just with iptv-org so far, it works great, i will try epg monkey when i next get the time thx Chris230291

Someone is going to have to provide the data, perhaps even host the data somewhere for download for the general public users to be able to add as a source to epgimporter plugin. Perhaps doglover could add the data to the plugin if it proves reliable.

The main issue is getting data, i have attached what i grabbed off of the bein site, it only took 8 minutes to download, would probably be faster on a dedicated machine.

The point is, it is 2 days epg data in arabic, look and see if it is correct ? You may need to use other sites to get your full channel list, and really 7 days epg is required if you want to record things a few days ahead.

So you have the data, the only other thing required is a channel.xml with the correct service reference, to marry the data to its correct channel. Those files will both need maintaining by someone willing to spend the time doing so (or automated the process with clever scripts and cron jobs )

Both the data file and channel file are then used by epgimporter to download and pharse the epg to our e2 boxes.

frankviana

You could try to download the EPG data off the satellite, using dvbsnoop like the original poster has done, *(assuming it is even possible)

But then you would need to clean that data before it was useable, you would have the same problem as the original poster has got.

you would also have to store it somewhere to download from (this could be the STB hdd if it is only for yourself)

So you to may be interested in seeing what you can get from the github links above.

Is epg for the required channels available on IPTV?? if yes then it is easier to use others data, and build a channel.xml to suit

Display More

The way I would do it is have the grabbers installed and run locally on each users device.

This way users can decide which sites to grab, how many days to grab and how often.

Not only would users get more customisation, but also no one would need to host anything.

Basically build something like what I built (EPG-Monkey), but as an e2 plugin.

Its not the end of the world if we couldn't persuade the iptv-org team to incorporate service refs in their database.

But an externally hosted file would need even more maintaining because the iptv-org team did/do like to change channel names and channel ids.

So not only would we need to maintain service refs, but also the channel edits they make.

If they gave us the go ahead we could even see about creating a GitHub action on their repo that automatically generates the xml file whenever the database is updated.

I know people like Doglover have a forum thread to report issues and fixes but the system the iptv-org team have on GitHub is so much better.

If you try to make a new issue on their GitHub you will see what I mean.

And of course there are pull requests on GitHub.

Edit: I asked the question here: https://github.com/iptv-org/database/issues/4953 Go show support :)

Can this be of any help ?

If you have AJPanel on Enigma2 device:

1- Select the option "Services/Channels".

2- Select "Export Services to "channels.xml"".

3- Select a bouquet from the list.

This will generate an xml file (for all the channels in the bouquet) with the exact format in your question at: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv-org.github.io/issues/1421

Quote from Bella Italia

Hi all.
I love this multifunction panel, thanks biko, but I have a request. I would like to use my personal configurations for the F1 - F2 and F3 buttons instead of having the screen shots that can get anyway via openwebif. Would it be possible somehow to have them released from ajpanel? Or at the most leave just one of them for the screenshot.
Thanks

Each key has a different screenshot function as shown. There are alternative screenshot keys (added for different RCU).

IMG-20230811-WA0010.jpg

If you don't need the screenshot, you can disable it from AJPanel Settings.

IMG-20230811-WA0016.jpg

You can also keep AJPanel Screenshot active and release a key or all F1/F2/F3 keys (the alternative keys will still work).

To release the keys:

1- Open the file:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AJPan/keymap.xml

2- Delete the line for the key that you need to release (see the highlighted lines).

IMG-20230811-WA0015.jpg

3- Save the file and restart GUI/Enigma.

Did opening "AJ Panel Bouquet editor" and not "ATV bouquet editor" - crash come from plugin or?

Quote from saalty

Hi all!

I use the latest AJ Panel on VU+ Zero 4k under OpenATV 6.4. My problem is that for the portals epg doesn't work, none of them. When I try the portal on SFVIP Player ob Windows there is epg. Forr the playlists epg works fine, and it's all of them. Made conversation with biko, he said that it should work if server suppots, I think it does as it is wirking on SFVIP. Any idea?

Fixed in the coming update.

Quote from xyips32

Hello biko or friends who knows how to solve this problem , why is it that most channels with 4k or HEVC (H.265) format do not play on AJ-Panel? do we have solutions to this.

This is related to the player you use.

The default player when you install AJPanel is ServiceMp3 and that is decided by the setting option "Default IPTV Reference Type" which defaults to 4097. This should be OK on most devices.

However, you can try other players as follows:

- If ServiceApp is installed on your device, you'll get 2 more players. So, you can try to change the Reference Type from the Panel's settings from 4097 to 5001 or 5002 for the new channels to permanently use the required player.

Another quick test method is to use the option "Replay with ..." from AJPanel Player-Bar menu and try the available players there.

Quote from saalty

In wich format you record in 4097 when serviceapp is disabled? At me this is .stream file extension, internal player cannot play it, but when I downloaded and tried with vlc it can. By the way, as I sad, I tried on different channels and the recording sometimes works, sometimes not, I mean file is vreated but the size is 0 kB, so it should be an image issue...

Recording normally creates media files with the extension ".ts" especially when you record from satellite services.

However, recording from IPTV streams will create media files with the extension ".stream". These files can be played with Reference Types:

- 1 (DVB Stream)

- 4097 (ServiceMp3)

- 5001 (GST Player).

Note: 5002 (Ext3-EPlayer) may not play ".stream" files.

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

To play ".stream" on Enigma2:

Method-1:

Select the recorded media from STB Playlist Button and click OK. Playlist Button is on Octagon RCU but the button name may be different on other Remote Control Units (probably "Files" or "Movies" or "Video").

Method-2:

Rename the file extension from ".stream" to ".ts". Then you will be able to play it with all RTypes (1, 4097, 5001, 5002).

Dear all!

Sorry if this issue was discussed before.

I would like to record from an IPTV Service. I exported channels from AJ Panel to Bouquets, My default reference type is 5002. When I tried to record channel started from the bouquet I got an error message: "Could not start recording due to invalid service". Then I changed reference type to 1 (also tried with 4097 but my stb freezed) with AJ Panel and I can start the record, file is created but the size stays at 0.0 kB. When I recorded content from DVB service it was fine. Is it any suggestions what can be wrong?

My parameters:

VU+ Zero 4K

OpenATV 6.4

Latest AJ Panel

NAS mounted as cifs

The recording depends on the player you are using (some players do not record).

One of the solutions is to disable ServiceApp and use 4097 to play your channels. Then the recording will work.

Anyway, if not LIVE, you can download movies/series from AJPanel.

Display More

Thank you for your answer. It could be an image problem as sometimes I can record, sometimes not, even with serviceapp disabled and both reference type 1 and 4097. The only difference that with reference type 4097 I got .stream extension and I cannot play it....

Display More

This is to confirm Biko's comments.

The symptoms are the same on other images.

Here are our test results on Octagon SF8008:

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

Test-1:

- OpenATV-7.1

- OpenPLi-8.3

1- If ServiceApp is active and you use 1 or 4097, recording will show the spinning progress for indifinite time (STB will freeze).

2- If ServiceApp is active and you use 5001 or 5002, recording will show the error message "Could not record due to invalid service".

3- If ServiceApp is DISABLED (Original settings) and you use 1 or 4097, recording works with no problems.

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

11111.jpg

Test-2:

OpenHDF-7.0

OpenHDF is clearer on this issue and will warn the users with a message (see the picture).

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

By the way, PIP (Picture-in-Picture) will also show similar error messages. PIP does not work with 5001/5002.
