sat and cable custom mix updater plugin (BETA)

[dsayers]

added to automatically download the lastest sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml on reboot

Hi i have managed to create an ipk to install my latest sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml from my github branch what i would like is members to test it. What this will do is swap the none working sat hd channels for vm so you only need one set of sky bouquets using Autobouquetsmaker and would like members to test it to see if the ipk downloads ok.

This should work on any box and enigma2 image using AutoBouquetsMaker


PLEASE NOTE THIS IS BETA AND I WILL BE DOING MORE AMENDMENTS SO FOR NOW I WOULD LIKE THIS TO STAY SMALL SO NO POSTING ON OTHER FORUMS AND FACEBOOK GROUPS



ftp the ipk tmp


to install it on box


OpenATV
Menu... setup... software management... install local extension
memory/tmp
Press ok on the package
press green to install.




OpenVIX
Menu > setup > VIX > Iplkg install or install loca extenrions
memory/tmp
Press ok on the package
press green to install.

restart your box and it should automatically download the latest sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml

you now should have a sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml file in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom.
Every time you restart the box it will download the latest sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml


now you need to set your bouquets
menu>setup>service searching>Autobouquets maker> providers my recommended settings are:


sky roi: yes
all other roi options to no
sky uk: yes
sky uk: area HD not custom or sd
generate bouquets yes
channel swap to yes
virgin uk: yes
virgin generate bouquets to no i have main bouquet to yes for epgrefresh
Press green to save.

In autobouqetesmarker you need to go to providers order sat_282_sky_uk needs to be at the top highlight it and press blue button to move it up once done press green to save now you can press start scan.

If you decide this isn't for you just uninstall it from your plugins menu then ftp /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom and delete the sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml


I would like to thank wooshman for helping me with the plugin and jasper1974, abu baniaz and Rossi for providing the original custom file that Ive edited without these wonderful people i wouldn't have known where to start so thank you guys hopefully others can enjoy these edits

Small bug fix to the the plugin when the plugin cant connect to github or no internet connection on boot the plugin will ignore it.

08?03/2017 Edit: Add v3.0 plugin for testing:

Small update on this I've managed to update a script to download the sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml file so you can run it using a crontimer to download weekly, daily, monthly etc

Unzip updatecustom.sh.zip and Ftp the updatecustom.sh to usr/scripts. Create the script folder if you haven't got one.

On box press
Menu, setup, vix, scriptrunner green to start the script


Now we need to set a crontimer to run the script


Menu > Timers > CronTimers (you may be prompted to install 'busybox-cron' - install this - box will restart)


Add a Cron Timer by pressing the Green button


Run How Often ? - Daily
Time To Execute Command Or Script - Whatever you prefer, I have 00:00
Command Type - predefined
In command to run you should see the updatecustom.sh
Press green to save then check if it says start on autostart if not yellow to start and blue to autostart
Now reboot box thats it it should download the custommix.xml daily

Hi is this the list you give me on my post mate? Looks great but most time when i switch onto a HD channel my vu solo2 crashes with egg timer in top left...i then have to switch off at back and switch on then when it comes back on the HD works?

[dsayers]

I'm not sure why your getting that issue maybe post in the vu section with your crash log and the xml file

Looks good not tried it yet will this work with boxes up to 4 tuners say 2 sat and 2 cable

[dsayers]

Yes it should work on most boxes using autobouqete marker with both sat and cable feeds

Not so easy without the source, but a decompile of the *.pyo files shows that the PluginDescriptor() call has

name='Name of plugin'

You might want to make that

name=_('CustomUpdater')

[dsayers]

At the moment I have it as an hidden code so it doesn't show in plugins but does show in uninstall plugins to allow it to automatically download on boot. So the plugin descriptor doesn't matter on my last version i had it show in plugins so you could manually download it but it wouldn't automatically download because I don't know how to add menu's to add a configuration page.

Im thinking of reverting it back to a manual download option

Works great for me on duo 2. I have altered one chanel that is HD on Vm that didn't swap in. 113- 264. I assume that when you update it will overwrite the file I have change.

[dsayers]

What channel is it? Ive gone to 264 on epg and theres no 264 on epg

Edit sorry i see it I'll updates it on github and it should download it next time the box reboots

[peteb2428]

Thanks for this il give it a try

[carlowen]

Hi I have installed your ipk and ithe works fine onow install although it doesn't seem to up date on reboot. You said you would change the custom file for the 113 - 264 swap but it hasn't happened on mine.

[dsayers]

Forces HD has been added to the swap have a look here
