A few days ago I did tests with epg importer and a modified plugin to create lamedb channels.xml. I need it to be embedded in the epgimporter code. Is there any way to do this?

 

I currently created a script in cron. Here in South America we don't have channels like rytec, so everything needs to be done manually.

 

I need the files to be created in alphabetical order, but I don't understand python. I did only few code changes...

 

See my files:

 

python file added after  line in cron (0 22 * * *    /etc/lamedtochannel.py)

 

 lamedtochannel.py   12.81KB   5 downloads

 

 

My epgimport source:

 

 Banda_C.sources.xml   238bytes   3 downloads

 

 

My channels after run (./lamedtochannel.py from /etc)

 

 canais.xml   355.3KB   3 downloads

 

 

My lamedb

 

 lamedb.zip   55.28KB   2 downloads

 

 

My file python (2.7) modified for Windows (py PC-lamedtochannel.py)

 

 PC-lamedtochannel.py   12.1KB   6 downloads

 

 

Any way to modify a simple code for extract/create channels.xml/canais.xml from lamedb more easy and alphabetically? No need delete audio, data.. create all from source (lamedb).

 

 

Thanks.

 

Sorry my english.

I think I changed a little python file (lamedtochannel) enigma2 code, because it's replacing a part of the reference on the 5ºE C-band satellite.

[Pr2]

why are you starting form the lamedb?

 

If you create favorites (aka bouquets) with the channels that you are watching, you will have immediately the right service reference in it.

So you will ease your life if you work from the userbouquet files than from the lamedb.

Do you have some steps? I don't know how.

A long time ago, I tried also to automate this.

Never was really succesfull.  The problem being that providers are very creative with channel names. And if they move a channel they change the name sometimes.

 

But I still found the script I was using.  It is a Visual Basic script.

On Windows8 this still works.

 

Copy the lamedb file to a folder on your PC.

Add to this the makeref.vbs script (attached)

Run the the script (double click on it)

There will be a file created:  refs.txt.

If you want the list to be alfabetically, just sort the refs.txt in a text editor (PSPad or Notepad++)

 

 

Copy the content of the refs.txt to the canais.xml file.

 

However this procedure only works for epgimport if you have the <channel id="xxx" in the epg xmtv file set equal to the channel name as it appears on your receiver.

You soon run into problems, with channels like Animal Planet, History and so on.

They can appear multiple times with a different schedule.

 

The only thing you can do is manually edit the canais.xml file.

 

If you want to go that way, there are several util I am using to faciltate this.

Let me know.

 

If you want this file to be alfabetically, just sorted

If you want refresh channels in bouquets, when provider changing transponders, you can use RefreshBouquet plugin. There are a lot of options...

This pluing was modified by a Brazilian to generate channels.xml, but don't work with my sources. I don't know why not is compatible.

Yes... complicated. Always I need change my "private" guide.xml names too. But here we don't have providers like there are in Europe. It's just a way of trying to work, even if it's of poor quality.

 

I will try to check the line in epgimporter plugin.py to insert generate channels.xml on boot

 

But, anyway, thanks for the attention.
