After my first compilation and installation into my ultimo STB i have found certains bugs of my teory but i think i can fix them but i dont know if it my fix would be included into enigma2 or not, i am asking for it,

i will explain it:


my provider uses items in extended description for providing certain information like original title or number of episodes appart of other things not too important like File original????? FO file.tga and SID?????

an example:


DVB-DescriptorTag: 78 (0x4e) [= extended_event_descriptor]
descriptor_length: 249 (0xf9)
descriptor_number: 0 (0x00)
last_descriptor_number: 0 (0x00)
ISO639_2_language_code: esl
length_of_items: 87 (0x57)

item_description_length: 3 (0x03)
item_description: "TIO" -- Charset: Latin alphabet
item_length: 18 (0x12)
item: "Fairly Odd Parents" -- Charset: Latin alphabet

item_description_length: 3 (0x03)
item_description: "NAC" -- Charset: Latin alphabet
item_length: 2 (0x02)
item: "US" -- Charset: Latin alphabet

item_description_length: 3 (0x03)
item_description: "SID" -- Charset: Latin alphabet
item_length: 4 (0x04)
item: "1933" -- Charset: Latin alphabet

item_description_length: 2 (0x02)
item_description: "SE" -- Charset: Latin alphabet
item_length: 20 (0x14)
item: "Los Padrinos Mágicos" -- Charset: Latin alphabet

item_description_length: 2 (0x02)
item_description: "FO" -- Charset: Latin alphabet
item_length: 20 (0x14)
item: "Padrinos_magicos.tga" -- Charset: Latin alphabet

text_length: 156 (0x9c)
text: "Serie de humor descabalado, cuya originalidad radica en parodiar las series tradicionales de fantasía y magia en la que los niños ven cumplidos sus deseos." -- Charset: Latin alphabet


Now the extended description is "Serie de humor descabalado, cuya originalidad radica en parodiar las series tradicionales de fantasía y magia en la que los niños ven cumplidos sus deseos."

i think i will make it:

TIO Fairly Odd parents
NAC Us
SID 1933
SE Los Padrinos Magicos
FO Padrinos_magicos.tga

Serie de humor descabalado, cuya originalidad radica en parodiar las series tradicionales de fantasía y magia en la que los niños ven cumplidos sus deseos.


But i am thinking that now the extended Description will be too big no? i am thinking in put a variable in enigma2 settings for activating or deactivating this. Who thinks that this will be usefull?
The first try has been to enable for all in the epg and i have had problems because of languajes ;-> but now i now how to fix it and have this as i have told. And i dont know if the setting will be necessary or not. With a setting i am sure that no body is going to have problems, and people as us can have FULL epg info.

What does people think? if i made a patch can i upload this to the git? so other images can have it?
As it is included in enigma2 cpp code i can not fix only for my images, so i need that all images use it. (For example the blackhole i use ...... i am sorry for that ..... )

Is it more or less clear?

[pieterg]

do you intend to store those item descriptors in the epgcache, or do you intend to parse and combine them into an extended description descriptor, before they are stored?

[raikol]

i think it should be better to store them in different part of epgcache but as i havent seen the code of that or how it works i dont know :S

my first intention is to be part of the extended description but perhaps the description has many lines without sense no? i dont know what is better

[pieterg]

some day we would want to get away from storing raw descriptors in the epgcache (allowing different types of storage to be used).
So in the end, it might be better to put everything in an extended description.

However, if you want to show certain info in some screens, and hide it in other screens, it's better not to combine the info in the cache.

[raikol]

the thing is that i dont know how to get them in some pages/sites and not in anothers

ill put all in the extended description with an option in enigma and i will get how it works ..... (my first try has been a disaster! xD)
