Hi, we would really appreciate some help with an issue we are having using the

e2m3u2bouquet plugin.

This plugin is installed and can be used without any issues with the OpenVix image

but we are unable to use it with OpenPli - our preferred image.

The issue is, after manually installing the 0.6.3 version of the plugin which is a whole lot easier for us

to use, we add our provider, username/password as required then select 'run' to update channels

but at this point nothing happens at all. All details entered are correct yet the update doesn't begin

so no channels/bouquets for iptv are imported at all.

We install the 0.6.3 version as we have no knowledge of how to use the script in the new version available

in 'downloads'. 

It really would be so helpful if the 0.6.3 version could be made available as well as the latest version as it works

in a so much easier way to add provider details than the current version, if you do not have more 'expert' knowledge.

The receiver is an Xtrend 9200.

As i have mentioned, this plugin works without any issues in OpenVix but we really would like to use OpenPli if

we could get this plugin to work.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

So nobody at OpenPli can offer any help with this issue at all?

Contact the author of the plugin, and have him fix the incompatibility. If the source is published, we can then include it in the feed (if it doesn't do anything illegal).

This is probably a missing python package used by the plugin and installed by default in OpenVix but not in OpenPLi.

But since the package creator doesn't create a depency for this package it is not automatically installed.

Here are the missing packages:

opkg update
opkg install python-image python-imaging python-argparse

This was described on the source of the plugin (so yes it is an opensource plugin).

It doesn't look like a plugin. It looks like a commandline tool to convert m3u files to a bouquet file.

I had a quick peek in the encoded providers file, and it looks to me like a list of illegal IPTV providers, so I don't think we're going to add it.

really?..yet you DO have the latest version already available for install in Downloads? 

Where exactly, how is it called? I can't find it:

root@et10000:~# opkg list | grep bouquet
enigma2-plugin-extensions-autobouquets - 1.0+git127+38eb091-r2.0
enigma2-plugin-extensions-mosaicbouquet - 1.0
enigma2-plugin-extensions-refreshbouquet - 2.0+git62+45832c7-r0.0
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker - 2.1+git467+62459f9-r2.0
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker-po - 2.1+git467+62459f9-r2.0
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-autobouquetsmaker-src - 2.1+git467+62459f9-r2.0
enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-bouquetsprotection - 0.5

I've reverted back to using OpenVix where this works perfectly so i cannot check again but it was

located in Downloads/Extensions as e2m3u2bouquet 0.7.3 (or maybe 0.7.4). 

It's exactly the same plugin only the newer version you have whereas i don't know how to use the new version

so use an older version. 

I double checked, it is definitely NOT in our feed. And given the content, it will never be, our position is simple: buy a subcription.

I have checked the base64 erncoded file and it has a list of IPTV providers, but there are no usernames and passwords, so you can't do anything illegal with this file.

Correct, but it sole purpose is to watch illegal IPTV, just check a few of the providers listed, they all offer traditional TV channels over IPTV.

Which iptv types are legal ? How does one determine if the supplier is licenced ?

The ones supplied by an official provider. And I've still have to see the first one that allows access to it's IPTV channels using an Enigma or Kodi box.

The quick check I did was simple: see if they offer a SKY UK channel. If so, it is 100% illegal. And all do.

The law (in any case Dutch law) says: "use your common sense". If all parties sell subcriptions for 20 euro's a month and then you get an offer for only 5 euro's a month, you CAN know it's illegal and you're liable, no excuse.

Besides that, no legal party will supply IPtv to open receivers, as already once explained by WanWizard, because they can't control illegal sharing then.

Hallo, wilde e2m3u2bouquet gebruiken om regelmatig de bouquetten te updaten met nieuwe links (denk hierbij aan de streaming bouquetten die in de Hans-settings staan), betreft voornamelijk lokale en regionale omroepen.

e2m3u2bouquet is daar een perfecte plugin voor. Hoop dat jullie je standpunt heroverwegen (als je alles gaat weren dat ook onwettelijk gebruikt kan worden dan kan er nog veel verboden worden).

PS The software will do the job without any dust or noise.

if there's other software that does what i want, that's fine too.

what e2m3u2bouquet does for me is:

- makes the bouquets (from a link to a m3u file)

- updates the bouquets every x day's without further user interference. 

You don't actually need the whole plugin, just e2m3u2bouquet.py which you can start from the terminal.
