UKCvS AutoBouquets E2 by LraiZer BETA.

[abu baniaz]

In this thread you will find help and assistance for the UKCvS AutoBouquets E2 plugin by LraiZer.

all new updated versions will be posted in the first post of this thread along with a brief changelog etc. please remember that this thread is only for the UKCvS AutoBouquets plugin by LraiZer, please direct any questions or comments with regard to the OE-A ( OE-Alliance ) modified version of this plugin in a separate thread as the two versions are not cross compatible.

I would like to thank LraiZer for his hard work in bringing us this fantastic plugin and look forward to his future works.

UPDATE 17.09.2012

Latest testscript (201209142150) has been incorporated in the attached pluginLatest. So just install the plugin to play with LraiZer's latest version. I also removed the automated E2-restart, so make sure to restart Enigma after (un)installing the plugin.
RvdD

here is latest test script to play with.
no service scanning should be required in this latest test version. the channels and transponders are now hopefully automatically updated and written to lamedb by just running the scirpt. this should now be service scan independent once you have done an initial 28.2e service scan on a pre autobouquets system.

UPDATE 24.09.2012

here is latest plugin version for testing...

i will probably need to add some modulation code to the NIT scanning in the script when BBC HD channels change later this week, so this version is to shake out any bugs over the next few weeks until i am able to test with the new bbc hd satellite changes.

have fun creating your own custom bouquets!


UPDATE 27.09.2012
This version should fix the NIT scan for the new BBC HD changes, and add the missing active channels.

here is latest version for testing!

30-09-2012
fix unassigned option crash in scheduled service scanning.
remove duplicated channel epg numbering list in custom.txt

9-10-2012
now also detects and parses the hidden data channel names.
add autobouquets selection menu to service searching menu.
also adds the channel epg numbers to the official bouquet.
some other potential bug fixes.

Update - 01-03-2013
fixed missing channels bug. added bouquet style options.
added supplement.txt file for manual service additions.

when using the supplement.txt file to manually add channels,
its best to add your channel with a channel number that puts
the new channel into an empty slot in the "other" bouquet.
current empty slots are 975 < 995. you can then simply add a
switch entry in the custom.txt file to swap with another one.

15-08-2013
AutoBouquets E2 code has been totaly rewritten yet again.
main coding has now been moved into a single executable.

dvbsnoop is no longer required, all data is now being read
from the stream by the new faster autobouquetsreader file.
bouquets generation is now very fast at about 50 seconds.

new custom_swap.txt file has even more power. you can
now swap with channel numbers outside of range 101-999.
this means you can also swap with testing/blank channels.

supplement.txt file also has more power, you can also now
change single data items only such as channel name or just
change the encryption type. you can still add new channels.

used oe-alliance dvbscanner library as the starting point
reference for coding the new autobouquets stream reader.

17-08-2013
fixed bug writing to fta with create child friendly option.
fixed writing hex service type in lamedb to decimal value.

25-08-2013
fixed reading intermittent missing channels in bat tables,
added crc and more error checking to stop missing channels.

20-10-2013
added Custom Sort options, edit custom_sort_(N).txt files,
channels will be generated in a user managed channel order.

added AutoPicon support, create autopicon links option on ext formated location only!

The picon conversion is now handled automatically via the plugin scripts. you can now simply copy normal picons or use a normal picon.ipk installer to install 28.2e picons to your normal picon folder and then run the plugin with the picon folder location option pointing to where you installed the picons and it will detect if files in this picon folder are png or symlinks and auto convert any png found as and when required. this means the picon folder can now handle dropping in new single normally named picons into the picon folder and it will be converted without affecting any symlinks in the same folder if you have selected both symlink and picon location as the same target folder.

also, if you just want to convert normal picons into autopicons, you can create a temporary picon folder in tmp ie. /tmp/picon and they will be detected and converted for you overriding any picon folder location selected in the options.

[Rob van der Does]

Could you ask the author if it would be possible that the bouquet made by this plugin will be added to the existing bouquets, and not to override them?
This would make it very user friendly to see what the bouquet is, and if liked to be moved/renamed/whatever via the GUI. Especially for people having more bouquets (e.g. for other satellites) this would be most welcome.

 

[abu baniaz]

This is what Lraizer said
"I'll add it to my TODO list to make it prepend existing bouquets so that it does not overwrite them, you should then be able to download your pre made multi-sat settings and then a run 28.2e scan to update the lamedb and then run AutoBouqets E2 without affecting your pre-made settings."

The thing is, this plugin writes multiple bouquets.
So on the region you choose, it will set up Entertainment, Movies and so on... bouquets...
Not sure if it could append them to existing bouquets? especially if they have the same name?

 

[judge]

ah, abu baniaz, beat me to a reply. Thanks for the update.
Definitely a plug-in to keep an eye on.

Or give them a slightly different name (the same way the remote channel converter does that).

The thing is though you only need one set of 28.2e bouquets,and this plugin,when sorted,won't overwrite any other satellite bouquets,

I suppose it could be a problem if you have same named bouquets on other satellites though

the latest available version for testing now prepends to any existing bouquets and does not overwrite them. its probably still wise to backup your current bouquets when testing this plugin as it is still only in early experimental stages.

From Lraizer (slightly edited by myself)
Nothing will be overwritten by this version, not even the bouquets generated by the previous version. this version checks your current bouquets and uses the new file extension of 28.2---UK Bouquets---- so your current bouquets should be safe.

If you ran a previous version then they will get prepended to by this version so you will end up with two autobouquet bouquets.

Only the generated bouquets by this version will ever get overwritten by running this version multiple times

By me...
I ran this on top of another list and can confirm that the existing bouquets were not altered. I could select a channel from either bouquet. Pressing numbers from remote brought correct channel (per official receiver) although displayed number did not tally.

 

[tomthebomb1968]

Just about to try this on my Ultimo. I put the Commando image on 2 of my kids dm500s. Its brilliant!

Thanks to Lraizer for for bringing this out so quickly, I followed a thread on another forum and the initial request to make the auto bocquet generator for E2 was only asked for about 2 weeks ago. :thumbsup:

Keep meaning to add this to my box to try it out, and keep forgetting... Must remember tonight

its a great little plugin mate, to be able to generate a full bouquet on the fly in a tad over 2 minutes directly from the box is a great feature.

 

[pooface]

I gave in, and bored at work, so transferred files across to box, and ran it remotely. Didn't do an sat scan to ensure up to date channel lists, as didn't wanna bother going through all menus that much... But, ran it, and it seemed to work great. A few channels missing, but that's because I ain't updated scans for about 3 weeks or so... But, looks great. Now, the one thing that I would like to see for this... An option that allows you to choose where you want it to add the new bouquets. At bottom or top of list...

Personally, I will always adjust the channels slightly (not much, but I like a terrestrial tv channel list, and in entertainment, I remove all terestrial channels...). So, it would be good to leave the channels created by bouquets at the bottom of the list, so that I can then just copy and re-arrange to my own liking, and being at the bottom, is not in your face so much...

 

[StuBFrost]

What does the plugin do about non sky channels, for example the red button channels etc.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Is it already worthwhile to add to the feeds?
