UKCvS AutoBouquets E2 by LraiZer BETA.

[Rob van der Does]

latest EXPERIMENTAL version, unfinished work in progress. use at own risk of losing your bouquets
backup your /var/etc/enigma2/ and /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoBouquets/ folders to a safe place on your PC.
changelog:
changed timeout while reading demux loop from 180 to 120 seconds as this should be long enough?
reworked and optimized read timings on the demux to potentially fix some of the issues reported by Rob van der Does

Sorry to say: same result as last time.
Scan was started while ITV2 HD was on.

Some testing done with a new reader on Lraizer's home forum.

If possible, could you replace the reader and try again.

I had to edit the script also, somoeone else did not need to. Let see how you get on.

Using that reader, the plugin worked fine. I did not edit the script.
Both when starting on 28.2E as well as on 23.5E.

Thanks. Lraizer will be pleased that it has passed the RVdD test.

Two people with a switch did not need to edit the script. Need someone else with a motor to test, preferrably starting from a far-off sat.

Ho; all my tests were on a fixed multi-sat dish, not on my motorised dish.

Would I need to re-test on the motorised setup?

 

[abu baniaz]

Yes please, if you get a chance.

Even better if you can swap/disable tuners in use. This will cater for occasions when in real life one tuner is occupied.

 

[Rob van der Does]

OK, setup motor for 28.2 and made sure it was on a far away satellite.
Executed scan (using AutoBouquets_E2_mipsel_alpha-debug-testing-201308061820 and the autoboquetsreader_mipsel_alpha-debug-testing-201308091800).
Obviously it took a couple of seconds before the tuner was locked on 28.2, but the result was fine: scanned and updated bouquets.

 

[LraiZer]

thanks, we should be able to compile and upload something in next day or two with the new supplement support also added now that the alpha debug verison seems to be working ok on all systems.

latest NEW AutoBouquets E2 BETA version for testing, have fun!
contains both ipk installer or folder transfer method, and sources.
while testing, its a good idea to first backup /etc/enigma2/ folder

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.

 

[Rob van der Does]

Tested: de-installed previous version, and installed this beta.
Again setup motor for 28.2E and started while watching 30W.

Once tuned to 28.2E the work was done fast and good!

 

[LraiZer]

thanks, once ive had all the bug reports back from testing with this beta version, and then fixed them it should hopefully be ok to use the next version for general use instead of the older version.

known bugs: 201308150200
it is still writing fta gaming/adult to the FTA bouquet even though create child friendly option is enabled.
it is writing service type in lamedb as hex value instead of decimal value resulting in no HD services being loaded with epg by crossepg data.

will fix these two today, any more bugs let me know thanks!

[edit]
these two bugs are hopefully fixed in this autobouquetsreader file. you can replace old one with this fixed version to continue testing for other bugs.

Will this work on a tm800 and install all dependencies

im not sure about the GUI working on an older engima2 tm800, but you can easily just use the autobouquets_e2.sh script to run the autobouquetsreader executable via a cronjob. this version does not have any 3rd party dependencies. you should be able to just drop the autobouquetsreader file (chmod 755) on its own in your /tmp folder and run with a telnet command /tmp/autobouquetsreader 4101 07 and as long as you are currently on an active 28.2e channel it should generate a bouquet set for you in your /tmp folder without any other dependencies or GUI or script.

 

[Stanman]

Cheers mate, will give it a try - all file in first post?

 

[LraiZer]

no, not the all file from first post. the script you want is in the latest install version a couple of posts back along with the later fixed autobouquetreader file. try this UltraLite verison which has a very basic GUI and the latest files already for you to test. it should be compatible with older enigma2 images like the TM800 run. just copy folder tree over to your box and chmod 755 autobouquets_e2.sh and autobouquetsreader files. reboot box and you should have a basic gui in your plugins menu. edit the defaults in the script file to change any options.

I have only recently started to use this plugin and it works so well for us - thank you for the hard work you must have put into it

I know you are still perfecting it and by my diary, it must be its first birthday this week - YAY!

Do you have any plans to incorporate routines to update Picons at any stage? That really would be the icing on this excellent addition (calling it just a plugin doesn't do it justice IMO). I do realise that since you launched this, the bar has constantlly been raised with custom channels and HD swap etc but I guess that is the nature of the beast!

 

[givecredit]

A great plugin has just got even better. Thank you very much!

Here are some custom swaps I use for anyone interested.

170=1113
182=1116
189=85
199=60
209=72
237=1114
951=1182
952=1183
953=1143

You will need this in supplement txt for my swaps to work right:

1114:4055:::::::STV HD
1018:4044:::::::FILM4 HD
60:6325:::::::STV+1

Can I make a suggestion for a future improvement to an already brilliant plugin:

Some users power off receivers at night, therefore run the autoBouquet during daytime hours. Would it be possible for the auto run to only open small box in top left corner similar to when you run it manually. This would then not interfere with any day time viewing if person was watching tv when the timed autoBouquets starts.

 

[LraiZer]

@Clabs
sorry, the plugin has to remain maintenance free without internet requirements. there is no intention to support picons in any future versions.

@givecredit
thanks, but i dont feel there is a real need for background scanning when using the timer. if you are updating during the day, then its easy enough to not use a timer. as you say, just press the blue button and then the autobouquets downloader and the scan will run in the background without interfering with channel viewing. all you see is a tiny box in top left for 50 seconds.

it looks like you found your way around the new custom_swap.txt and supplement.txt functions easily enough. you may also note, that you can now load the new format autobouquets.csv file into a spreadsheet database application for easy viewing.

 

[PrimeTime]

LraiZer's new version of Autobouquets is really fantastic and a testament to the hard work that LraiZer has put in to develop and improve a great tool that makes updating 28.2 bouquets easy.
To be able to easily update your 28.2E bouquets in less than a minute is really remarkable and the degree of customisation that the supplements.txt and custom_swp.txt files provide is extremely useful.

It would be great if the newest version of this plugin could be added to the feeds on Vix as the extra degree of customisation that the plugin provides makes it a useful addition to the Vix AutoBouquetsMaker.
