[VU+ Uno4KSE] KiddaC's BouquetMakerXtream (Replacement for JediMaker)

[spevs]

Hi All, I am using VIX 6.5.001 and would firstly like to say how easy it was to update from 6.4.011, all Enigma2 settings and plugins were successfully migrated across and everything appears to be working fine. However, I'm a bit surprised that KiddaC's BouqetMakerXtream (BMX V1.xx) is not available from Plugins, I am sure that anyone using the old JediMaker would see a much improved experience with the newer BMX. Are there any plans to include this in future updates. For anyone interested below is a lnk to the IPK if you want to install it yourself:-

I do hope I haven't broken any rules posting the above. Anyway, big thanks to all the VIX Support Team for all their hard work in bringing us 6.5.xxx

Bouquet maker Xtream should have been on feeds from 4 months ago

I can't see it in Plugins\Extensions which is where I would expect to find it, as indicated with the red line



I can find Jedi, which is where I expected



...............?

Now look in "remove plugins".

 

[abu baniaz]

It is definitely there on release/developer image of h9s se and duo 4k. You obviously get the version available at time of image being built, not always the latest.

Have you still got the ipk installed? It shouldn't show if you have already installed an ipk higher than version on feeds.

Double check by uninstalling plugin then check download plugins

Ok, it's obviously not there as I have V1.14 directly from IPK, sorry for any time wasted, it's such a good plugin I didn't want others to miss out..............

We are building the latest code straight from the plugin repo at the time of the build. If the GITPKGVTAG is wrong he needs look into why that is not updating.

@huevos, it is re-building whenever the version on kiddac's repository is updated. A couple of minor issues about shipped/not shipped after he changed layout, but it works fine.

The one on plugin server is always going to be the one that was latest when image was built. People who want the most current will have to use the ipk from other forum.

Several people saying it is there and one person saying it is not. Maybe feeds for that receiver have an issue?

Sorry guys, my mistake all is ok with Plugins, once again sorry for the confusion.

No, I checked the receiver.

My point is why hasn't GITPKGVTAG updated from 1.13 to 1.14. This should be looked into.

 

[abu baniaz]

I think everything is fine. 1.14 was on 27/03/2024. Release was built before this date

I've just installed this plugin on my GB Quad Plus running dev. It loaded initially and then asked for location of m3u file. I configured it to load from /etc/enigma2/bouquetmakerxtream/ directory and saved. Subsequent starts cause a crash.
I can see references in the crashlog to

File "/home/vixdev/6.6/builds/openvix/developer/vuultimo4k/tmp/work/all-oe-linux/enigma2-plugin-extensions-bouquetmakerxtream/enigma2-plugin-extensions-bouquetmakerxtream-git-r4/image/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/BouquetMakerXtream/plugin.py", line 215, in main

which appear "odd" to me as they refer to a vuultimo4k build.

Did you already have a .m3u file from previous plugin?
If so try setup from scratch

Thanks for coming back @twol.
I had just copied in an m3u file into the directory prior to configuring. It's a large file (from github) which I had used before on my HD61 machine as a source for generating the bouquet files. I don't think the plugin actually changes the m3u data, though.

I had actually uninstalled and re-installed the plugin in case it was something I had done wrong first time, but it crashed after I ran it again. I uninstalled it again but there are residual files in /etc/enigma/bouquetmakerxtream. I can try deleting the folder, maybe?

[Joe_90]

Try from scratch

I did! After my last post I deleted the folder and started again. Used all the defaults and saved. Plugin ran ok with no data, but obviously nothing happened. Then I copied in the m3u8 file and ran again. Plugin crashed. So, it must be the format of the m3u file!

I'm going to edit it down to a simple, minimal layout and see if that fixes it.

Are your m3u from https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/ if so you need to download
Quote from kiddac

you have to use the raw address if using github playlists when downloading m3u

example:

Thanks @urie - great minds think alike and all that D) I found the self-same post from kiddac when doing various searches. The plugin seems to be VERY sensitive to the input data layout and throws some very odd messages when it doesn't like the format. It makes it very difficult for IPTV noobies like me to work out what is needed. When kiddac uses terms like "raw address" it doesn't mean a whole lot - one m3u8 URL looks just like another!
I eventually worked out that I could paste an m3u category URL into a playlist.txt file and that worked for me. I'll see if I can create an actual M3U file that will work. I have had this working on my HD61 box for about two years now, but I forgot how to start from first principles!

 

[Joe_90]

It seems that I may have jumped back into using this plugin when it is at a very delicate stage in its lifecycle! An m3u file which I used two years ago (when it was called jedimaker...) seems to crash the plugin. I got it working using a carefully crafted playlist.txt, but no m3u or m3u8 file seems to be working for me.
