For the E1 Neutrino DM500S box, he has taken the original Weekepg plugin by MaxV4 and totally transformed it into a format that can be sucked into memory by sectionsd (sorry, you don't have that in Enigma), and gives us up to 7 Days EPG and long descriptions, direct from the 28.2E stream, with no web connection required (like the alternative RadioTimes source). We can easily configure the number of days data, the hours of LDs etc on a per channel basis as well.
Loading a 6mb EPG store into memory takes about 3 minutes and can be done on boot, or wakeup (both after a 60 second background delay), or manually via the shellexec menu or Plugin, or via a Timer each day. Extensive testing shows no memory issues, we can also shove a 7.75mb backup image into /tmp and the cam keeps going.
Thiis stream EPG load takes place in Radio Mode (with gentle background muzak, of course) so if the the user is running it manually (advisably during the ADs) then we run a kind of screenshow, with popup progress messages, one attached...
In the post above, LraiZer has hidden his lights under a bushel. I'm only trying to explain what he did to extend the original work of MaxV4 (who is fully credited, naturally)
Cheers- AL
