UKCvS AutoBouquets E2 by LraiZer BETA.

[Rahat786786]

Downloaded latest plugin from feeds and it crashes as soon as the operation has completed. Also the adult channels remain in Sky uk bouquet. I was using the latest stable Vix build and thought it may work if I update to latest unstable build but exact same problem.

Also, plugin also crashes before the operation if you select service scan.

Is (probably) fixed in next build.

Just tried this on my duo by downloading from the feeds.

It did everything and went to the last step and then it crashed.

Restarted the box and the new bouquets were there but there was no bouquet that had all the sky numbers in it?
The one at the top of the list was the HD channels,

Is that right?

 

[Rahat786786]

If you untick the use HD bouquet first then the Sky uk bouquet will show up.

here is my latest test script to play with, there are no vix mods or fixes in this yet.
the vix GUI will probably toggle the epg numbering on/off instead of the HDFirst as there is no HDFirst on/off in this un-vixed version.

i had this new plugin script almost ready for public testing just before i went away. i have now made it stable enough for testing purposes.

this latest script has some new features im sure you will enjoy, these new features can be turned on/off by passing options to the script during testing.

the script can take 4 input options. the first two area and region are required. the second two are optional as these will revert to on by default.
this scirpt can be dropped into current /usr/script/ folder to overwrite exising autobouquet file and used with the existing plugin GUI.

./autobouquets_e2.sh area[4104] region[32] numbered[Y/N] update lamedb[Y/N]

eg.
./autobouquets_e2.sh 4101 07 Y N
./autobouquets_e2.sh 4104 32 N Y

new:
auto lamedb service updating,
add official channel numbers,
FTA bouquet,
irish and english services are now meged to aviod ugly none regional manual code hacks.
english region now gain RTE, RTE2 HD, Setanta..etc.
irish region now gain various ITV BBC variations.

Service Description Table and Bouquet Association Table are now merged to produce a richer workfile.

only transponder changes in lamedb now requires a service scan.
general movement of channels added/removed from existing transponders is taken care of by auto updating the services in lamedb.

placeholders in numbered bouquet are also padded out with users top 5 regional and all hd services.

adult channels are no longer written to numbered and fta bouquets, to remain child friendly updatable.

as there was quite a lot was changed in the script code before i went on holiday, its best to start testing this with a new clean bouquet set and lamedb pre autobouquets usage.

plugin is a little slower now due the new code additions, but this is now much faster than also having to perform a service scan

 

[Rahat786786]

You know how Mr. Mister bouquets has added a new feature by which all placeholder channels are skipped when pressing channel up and down, is that feature in this new plugin?

It sure Is. Works a treat

@LraiZer

Thanks for this update... One thing that I was wondering ... Would it be possible to have a choice regarding the child friendly option? Kind of like how you did the update lamedb option. By default, it's set to be child friendly, but if a user so wanted, you could have it include/do the adult channels. That way, if a user didn't want the adult bouquet created, it wouldn't add it altogether (if possible)...

 

[Rahat786786]

No idea how to install the file, can someone help please?

 

[Stanman]

its the .sh file so you send it to the autobouquet folder and over write it - but BEFORE YOU DO make sure you make an image back up in case it goes belly up. IIRC its in USR/ SCRIPT if you installed the orginal Lraizer IP and if done from feeds its in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoBouquets

 

[Rahat786786]

Did that but box freezes and had to do a fresh install

 

[Stanman]

Did you check to make sure the permission were sat at 755?

Installed this version. Just to report my constructive feedback. The HD Rep of Ireland version now gains the BBC, ITV CH5 etc as stated.
I also tried the London HD region, but this does not retain RTE1 RTE2HD, tv3 3e and tg4
No FTA bouquet in either region versions.

Maybe I have done something incorrect.

If not:

I guess the uk regions do not retain Irish tv as there is already TV channels on position 101-105 on uk epg.(This is also evident in Irish epg version. BBC3 is not beside bbc4 on epg as on Irish epg has RTE2 is on this epg position. Same with More4+1) Can i suggest that if this is the case that you lift the RTE and TG4 channels from the Northern Ireland Hd/SD epg for UK regions as RTE and TG4 are in different epg positions that are not used in other uk regions.

Apologies LraiZer , Cannot edit my previous post. But i have found my error. When I ran the first scan for Rep of Ireland area it worked as stated. But crashed. When I tried London scan what I hadnt noticed is after crash the plugin reverted to 21st Aug version.

Have run London region with 12th Sept plugin and all runs correctly. Putting RTE and TG4 in Northern Ireland epg positions. The FTA/FTV Bouquet is also a nice edition.

Thank You.

i had already started writing your reply, so will post this anyway just to confirm a few things.

if you do not have the new Freeview bouquet then you have not started with a clean bouquet set that contains no previously generated bouquets in it.
if you are not using a clean bouquet set, then you first need to delete all the previously generated bouquets from your current bouquet set so that it is detected as a virgin install and ALL bouquets are generated again.

why do you want the rte positions to overwrite 1,2,3,4,5 when you select London region?
the script IS merging with N.I not ROI for this exact reason.
have just tested LondonHD and it works fine for me.
RTE One gets placed in the previous empty LondonHD position 161?
RTE TWO HD gets placed in the previous empty LondonHD position 162?

only transponder changes in lamedb now requires a service scan.
general movement of channels added/removed from existing transponders is taken care of by auto updating the services in lamedb.

Is it possible to compare the transponders in lamedb with transponders in the NIT? That way you could limit the service scan to just scan the very few new or modified transponders. Or even better find a way so no service scan is necessary, like write the NIT directly to lamedb.

 

[Rahat786786]

Managed to get it to work eventually but a few gripes:

1) Quite slow but understandable as no vix modifications.
2) The 100 placeholders for the Sky UK Bouquet shouldn't be any HD channels as when, for example, I press 405 for Sky Sports HD and then press up or down, the list comes up with the Sky Sports HD in the first 100 placeholders and not the channel number 405. The problem with this is that I can't view other channels like 406, 408, 421 etc as they are not there. Same for BBC 1, 101 goes to the placeholder when I press up or down.
3) No MUTV in London HD region, channel number 406 and perhaps more missing channels I haven't checked.
4) Dating channels such as G*y Network should also be removed from Sky UK Bouquet to keep it child friendly.

 

[givecredit]

Further observations.

Freeview Bouquet missing the following channels: Channel 5HD, Liverpool FC tv, VIVA.
mtv live needs to be removed from freeview epg.

Edit: Just noticed post above mine. I too have London HD region selected, But I have MUTV!

yes, we can compare transponders in lamedb with NIT. i will be looking at possibility to see if we can update these also soon.

 

[Huevos]

yes, we can compare transponders in lamedb with NIT

Ok, could you write the missing transponders into lamedb directly with the information gathered from the NIT or would new or modified transponders still need to be scanned?

BTW, this is kind of how the Vix blindscan plugin works. One of the options is to only scan transponders that are not in satellites.xml... but in your case transponders that are not in lamedb.
