Make EPGimport search for custom.channels.xml file
These days, several users have their own channels file for some extra channels. IPTV channels mainly.
Some of these channels are freely available on the net. And can be played on an enigma2 receiver.
(Some use this also to receive illegal IPTV channels)
In order to provide EPG for these channels, at the moment you need to add separate import to the sources file with you own "custom.channels.xml" file
The drawback is that you then download the data files twice which is bad, I agree.
A solution is that the extra channels are integrated it your own rytec.channels.xml. But you lose to advantage of the on-line update of the rytec.channels.xml file.
So the idea, is to expand EPGimport capability: it will use the normal channels file defined in the rytec.sources.xml file" but also use "at the same time" the file "custom.channels.xml" from the folder /etc/epgimport/ so the data file are only downloaded once and EPG are applied both to rytec and custom channels.
This can be accomplished by merging the downloaded channels file with the custom.channels.xml file before the actual import. But any other solution is of course welcome
This modification is above my pay grade. Any help (mainly doing it yourself) is welcome.
Can anybody change the XMLTVimport plug-in to perform this?
