Nice thank you.

 

A couple of request though:

 

1. Does this work also on other sattellites?  I guess not.  Tried it on 23.5 - no result.

2. How do you generate our epg. refs?  If it is just the channelname with .uk stuck to the back, I propose you do not do this, As a fair number is not correct.  f.i.
 

<channel id="AnimalPlanet.uk">1:0:1:183A:7D9:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Planet  -->
<channel id="AnimalPlnt.uk">1:0:19:F41:7D3:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- AnimalPlnt HD  -->

<channel id="AnimalPlntplus1.uk">1:0:1:CCB5:90B:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Plnt+1  -->

 

as opposed to:

 

<channel id="AnimalPlanet.uk">1:0:19:F41:7D3:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Planet HD -->
<channel id="AnimalPlanet.uk">1:0:1:183A:7D9:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Planet -->
<channel id="AnimalPlanetplus1.uk">1:0:1:CCB5:90B:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Planet +1 -->

 

Problem is thus I have to go through all of them to check.

I propose you stick just the channel name in the epg ref place.  This way we will be able to sort the list on the channel name, and go manually through the list to add the epg references.

Any other solution which does a better job is also appreciated.  But I suppose this is difficult.

 

On the other hand the way it is now is not that different from what I propose.  You can just leave it this way.

 

3. Are you sure it finds all channels?

If this is the case, I will start on pruning the dead wood in the rytec.channels.xml file.

 

Thanks

1. sorry no, it only works on 28.2e

2. the refs are the official stream names without spaces and swapped invalid filenaming chars.

3. it finds all channels transmitted by the provider as you would find them on an official box, also testing channels not found on official box.

 

another better reference solution could be to create a simple cross reference file that can be read during processing, to enable writing your own references.

here is a script helper and example rytec_uk.ref that should help with this. drop all three files in /tmp and chmod 755 the autobouquetsreader and rytec_uk.sh files.

running the telnet command: ./rytec_uk.sh will now create your rytec.uk file with the correct AnimalPlanet.uk references. add all the references you wish to change to the example rytec_uk.ref file. you should just need to run a daily diff on todays and tomorrows generated files to see what has changed and requires any updating?

 

this now generates your required:

<channel id="AnimalPlanet.uk">1:0:19:F41:7D3:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- AnimalPlnt HD  -->
<channel id="AnimalPlanet.uk">1:0:1:183A:7D9:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Planet  -->
<channel id="AnimalPlanetplus1.uk">1:0:1:CCB5:90B:2:11A0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Animal Plnt+1  -->

sorry, previous one missed some channels, this one cycles through the required variation scans to make a full complete list now.

OK thanks.

 

This will help to keep the epg refs up-to-date.

Will have to make a list with refs which are not correct from the autoBouquetsreader.

Hopefully only once.

 

I have pruned out my channels file now.  Hopefully I did not introduce errors.

(around 600 channels - 400 unique ones) There are bound to be a couple of errors.

 

Willy

[LraiZer]

yes, the more your own unique references match the correct stream naming references, the less maintenance you will potentially have once you have got this automated

at the moment i dont have any epg on 28.2 is that normal ?

[doglover]

Try rebooting your box, and reimport.

End of last week I had a problem, which locks up the importer.

 

Willy

[Stefan]

rytec.sources.02-09-2013.zip is what i need also or wil it get updated auto when i update the box ?

[doglover]

Yes it is.

And I do not know if it gets updated automatically.

 

But the change is very small.  You probably do not notice it if you leave the one which is installed with the plug-in.

 

The error of last week has nothing to do with this.  It was in the channels file.  Which is reloaded after an enigma restart.

[Stefan]

oke i updated the file so that is good ?

rytec.sources.02-09-2013.zip

[doglover]

Certainly.  (i found a small error in the previous version - so I updated it)

Most people would not even notice the difference.

 

Willy

PS: I have on BBc1 data from today until next monday

[Stefan]

Edited by Stefan, 16 September 2013 - 15:47.

[doglover]

Send me the epgimport.log pls.

 

Willy

[Stefan]

Hi, doglover. Thank you for nice work. Till sunday it was all OK and importing worked fine. On sunday I tried epg import and it imported 66022 events and I noticed some channels are missing epg: Eden +1, History 2, DMAX +2, CN Too, Nick Jr., Disney Jr. +1, Nickelodeon +1. I updated sources files and restarted but it still imports the same number of events. From then till today it always imports the same number of events 66022 and channels above still doesn't have any epg.

[doglover]

The file today is the same as the file from yesterday.  Due to a problem here the UK (and German) update missed the update to the download sites.  The problem has been remedied now, so you will ave a new version tomorrow morning.

 

Eden+1, CN Too, Nick Jr. and Nick +1 have epg on my box.  (Althoug I cannot know if these are the mst recent channels.

 

History 2, DMAX +2, Disney Jr. +1 do not have service refs in the channels file.

 

So if you can list the service refs, I can add them.  (list all refs of the channels you do not have epg)

Maybe some of this EPG missing is related to the xmltv cleaning operation which you performed a few days ago.

I will try to list all the channels I'm missing later today. Or is it better for me to wait till tomorrow?

[doglover]

Dmax +2 I found.  This is a victim.

 

The others I do not know.  History 2,  Disney Jr. +1 did not exist in the old file either.  (i kept a copy)

I rather would have the correct service refs now of these, so I know these are correct.  Instead of adding something from which I am not sure.

[browno]

i only have EPG on free to air channels, how do i add to all sky channels?

[WanWizard]

Install the xmltvepg plugin and the Rytec sources, and enable the UK package. And probably disable the freesat reader to avoid duplicate or conflicting entries.
