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)
