Lraizer Autobouquets E2 UK Cable (archived thread)

[abu baniaz]

This was done by Lraizer as a proof of concept project. It is script based instead of reader based. It does not read the lamedb file at the moment. He did say that it could be incorporated into the script based light edition of his satellite version. This could lead to lamdb being appended.

Please do not confuse this with Auto Bouquets Maker by the OE Alliance or the Satellite version by Lraizer.

Edit region code on file on PC using linux compatible editor such as Notepad++. Saves you having to do it every time. Windows Notepad and Wordpad are not linux compatible.
dvbsnoop is required for this script to run.
Transfer file to /tmp/ directory on receiver.
Chmod 755 the file
Ensure you are on an active channel cable channel
Enter following commands one by one in telnet

cd /tmp/
./autobouquets_c2.sh

lamedb and bouquet files will be created in the /tmp/ directory. Transfer them to /etc/enigma2/ (You will lose all existing channel data.)



this was just a little proof of concept prototype script to see how it could be done. if others want to take this and develop it any more, have fun!



EDIT: 02/05/2014
Lraizer used the following settings for the initial scan which did not require a cables.xml file (use your own net ID)

Here is a plugin of sorts. Transfer to normal plugin location (/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/) and chmod 755. Script will need to be edited to use your netID. Reboot and you should have a plugin with no need for ftp afterwards.

Please backup your bouquets first. Saves having to rescan if things go wrong. If using a mutli tuner receiver, bear in mind you will lose all other services because lamedb is replaced.

This is Lraizer's 2014_06 _01 version. It requies DVBsnoop to be present and should be executed while on an active channel.

The Pure areas are not listed, use "first available".

EDIT: this is classed as Experimental.

Please try this one.

It is Lriazer's work, any credit goes to him.

We have done the following:
Added a check for dvbsnoop
Modified the bouquet names
Removed the channel number

Transfer to /tmp/ and install by using following command

opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-autobouquets-c2lite_2014_11_20_all.ipk


You will need to install dvbsnoop using command

opkg install dvbsnoop


Plugin must be run while on an active cable channel.

Pure areas are not listed. Select "Any Pure Area"
