This plugin is turning out to be really handy & is a must have for anyone with SKY UK.

If you want to keep your own channel numbering & use it to just update frequencies and sky bouquets, just move your bouquet with your numbering to the top of the bouquets.

Other than that, I removed the first bouquet completely (the one that holds the sky numbering), but left all the others, Entertainment, Lifestyle and Culture and so on.
Now whenever I run the plugin, it just updates all the SKY bouquets with any new channels & any frequency changes as well as any changes to my favourites.

Brilliant work LraiZer.

LraiZer, have you thought about adding an auto-run option?
If we could set the plugin to auto-run at something like 5am, we'd never have to worry about updating Sky UK/Ireland regional bouquets again.

I know we could add a cron job ourselves, but if it was part of the plugin, I'd guess the plugin would be included in lots of images by default.

It doesn't remove any previous bouquets, so if BBC Olympics was there as a previous bouquet, it still will be.

Ahh thats my bad adn I misread it, I thought when it said updates frequencies, it would update and remove redundant channels

It does in it's auto generated bouquets, leaves your own bouquets alone.
Perfect, I think...

diff useful but need to be able to do HD swap to make it first choice.

Don't ask for much

 

[basilyoung]

just loaded this to my ultimo, its frigging brilliant, ( sorry steve, )

 

[Stanman]

Dont' think his redundant just yet, its brilliant but need HD swap to make it perfect:thumbsup:

 

[basilyoung]

no...its just a wind up,....steve knows me well

Thats not going to happen as the author already explained this plugin takes its date directly from the EPG feed HD swap is not part of that sky do that themselves when you take out a HD sub. so if you want HD swap your going to have to do that your self.

@ LraiZer:

First of all thank you very much for this plugin, it worked perfectly for me first time. I was wondering if it would be possible to have an option to HD swap the channels (as found in mister misters hd swap bouquet) so that for example channel four on 104 is replaced with its HD equivalent channel?

Thanks again

Worked perfect first time.

Just one suggestion, is it possible to have the channel numbers before the name e.g Sky Sports HD 1 is displayed as 401 - Sky Sports HD1

This does not seem to be possible via this plugin without the end user having to manually make the changes via a channel editor. as posted by LraiZer on his home forum with regard to this request.

you will have to get in touch with bslyb about changing their official epg listings and the bouquets they transmit in their stream. all channels are processed in their official epg positions.

you should find all bouquets that are generated are exactly the same as the bslyb epg listing references for your selected area?

area=(four digit decimal number)
region=(two digit hex number)

For HD Swap, use your own bouquets in the order you like them.
Use the plugin to keep those frequencies updated...

here you go buddy.

first post updated:

plugin should hopefully be Idiot Proof now in this version for general use, but as its not finished it is still beta

added 28.2E check code and removed some redundant stuff.
created an .ipk installer for mipsel with dvbsnoop depend inc. auto install/remove scripts.

have fun!

here is AutoBouquets E2 28.2E Enigma2 Plugin for BETA TESTING!
(latest version - date 19th August 2012)

this plugin has been coded with shell script backend so that it can be run on ANY box from the command line without python. it has a python enigma2 GUI so that you can select your area direct from remote in the plugins menu.

1) first make sure you have dvbsnoop in your /usr/bin/

2) drop the attached files onto engima2 box in the relevant folders.
make sure /usr/script/autobouquets_e2.sh file is executable (chmod 755)

3) reboot your box to load the new AutoBouquets E2 plugin into the Plugins menu

3) perform a scan on 28.2e satellite so that you have the latest lamedb service file

4) zap to an active channel on 28.2e so that dvbsnoop can read its stream data

5) select AutoBouquets E2 Plugin from plugins menu and then select your SD or HD area.

6) sit back and watch for 5 minutes as your local bouquets are read from the stream

7) Have fun with you new auto generated local bouquets

8) an autobouquets.log file is generated in the AutoBouquets plugin folder so that you can check processed Services, Positions and ChannelID's.

PS) dont forget to backup your current bouquet files first even though they will NOT be overwritten by this plugin.

pheonix, does this plugin require an internet connection?

 

[Rob van der Does]

here you go buddy.

Is this different from the previous posted version? if so: what are the changes?

No, as all data come directly from the transponders. You need to be tuned to a 28.2 channel for the plugin to work.


@ LraiZer:
This plugin offers the same functionality as the 'FastScan'-plugin does for other providers. And they also get their data the same way. That leads to the following questions:
1- For consistency reasons I think it would be more elegant if the plugin shows up under service searching, instead of in the plugin browser;
2- Maybe even better: why not integrate this functionality in the FastScan-plugin? It is open source, and integration seems to be a good idea (consistency would be perfect that way).

To answer my own question: just checked, and its the identical to the version I posted earlier in this thread (V3 0.4).
