Thanx,
when comparing to Plugins/SystemPlugins/ViX/plugin.py

There is this:

import xml.etree.cElementTree

file = open("%s/menu.xml" % path.dirname(modules[__name__].__file__), 'r')
mdom = xml.etree.cElementTree.parse(file)
file.close()

But I don't know if this has something to do with localization.

its parsing the ViX plugin menu xml file for later use.

Thanx @Huevos for the pot file. One question : what needs to be done that menu.xml and vod_menu.xml (Text and Description) are localized ?

So please update your po/mo to contain the values from the menu files.
Then try again with 6.6.011.006 which has new commits.

Hello,

flashed 6.6.011 to Multiboot's slot 4 of Ultimo 4K. Translation is not working, because the file is named 'eitconfig.mo'. Can this be fixed, please ?

 

[bmitie]

Can I just say thanks for this plugin found it really easy and great guide. And I know someone who could manage it.

I have 2 questions.

1. Does it matter which skin I use? I like kiddacs.

2. Would I need 2 subs so that I could record?

Thanks again. may have other questions after a bit more testing

 

[DimitarCC]

So
1. It doesnt matter the skin. The only issues you may have is with catchup player if the skin doesnt support it.
2. To record and watch different channel you will need 2 connections... If you record currently playing channel then 1 connection is ok.

In the dev build.

Hello @DimitarCC ,

maybe this needs to corrected ?

plugin.py : L2094

configlist.append((_("Local EPG server listening port") + " *", config.plugins.m3uiptv.epg_loc_port, _("Enables possibility to return back in epg screens so to use old entries for invoke catchup/archive/timeshift.")))

 

[DimitarCC]

Yes.. You are right

Can I ask a question about 'Sort Order' , I used both BouquetMakerXtream and Xtreamity, I also use Android & Windows apps supplied by my IPTV provider and in setup for both the Enigma2 apps I have 'Original Order' sort order and where applicable this is for Live, Series and VoD,
In m3uIPTV playlist settings I have the 'Channel ordering criteria' set to 'Use provider order' but I have tried the other options 'By channel number' & 'Alphabetically' and nothing comes out the same as the order from the ALL my other apps, in fact they appear to be all over the place list wise, is this something I can sort?

 

[Huevos]

"Use provider order" means there is no sorting done by the plugin. The channels are ordered exactly as the provider sent them. If that is haphazard, it is down to the provider. "By channel number" only works if the provider sends a channel number. "Alphabetically" is a standard Python sort by channel name.

After changing this setting you must rebuild the bouquets for it to take effect.

Thanks Huevos, but all of my apps, 8 in total are all set to provider order and return the same order except m3uIPTV, which appears completely random in comparison, it all works well, but the sort order is off, funny that 7 apps have the same result and m3uIPTV doesn't

 

[DimitarCC]

I think other tools do some ordering behind. And their "Provider order" is most likely order by channel number that is provided by the provider.
