I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Surely someone has already done it.

I need the client to be able to download the current chanellist from my FTP (where they are stored, bouquets.tv, lame.db, etc.) to the box.

It is not a problem to write a shell script so that the client uses scp to download the necessary files to the right place and restart enigma2.

I see the problem in how to implement the execution of the script using a remote control (RC).

I would like it to be e.g. under the yellow button.

Can you help me  ?

Hi. I don't know for sure... but I'll try to advise. In OpenPLi, there should be an option to short RCU button or to program a user button, according to the user. There you will choose the Enigma2 function that it is supposed to fulfill and somewhere between them will be the start of the Shell Script. Then you use the set RCU button to run that Shell Script in your set-top box. But I don't know for sure. I don't have OpenPLi currently installed to verify this. I only have OpenATV and in it it is possible to do as I describe .

It was OpenPLi who developed that feature, called "hotkey" ( I know ATV has renamed it).

 

But I have no idea how the shell script option works...

[LraiZer]

upload .sh script to box and make executable.

 

/usr/script/mydownloadscript.sh

 

or with .hidden. marker

 

/usr/script/mydownloadscript.hidden.sh

assign script to yellow key:

 

menu > setup > system > expert settings > hotkey > yellow > shellscripts > mydownloadscript.sh

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I don't know exactly what it's called in the case of OpenATV, because I didn't want to look it up . But it is possible to find it there. And also, as @LraiZer already wrote, it can also be checked in OpenPLi.

 

Simply written... you can find it among the special functions of the RCU buttons or among the reprogrammable RCU buttons... in the Enigma2 GUI MENU.

 

Of course, shell scripts need to be moved to the "/usr/script" directory, and if it doesn't exist, you have to create this directory. To be sure, shell scripts should also have execution rights assigned (with the help of FTP or via the chmod command, it is the value 755, for attributes of shell script files).

They call it button assignment or so….

Thanks to all of you. I'll try it and let you know how it works.
