Starting work on a new plugin... AUTO CHANNEL UPDATER

[Larry-G]

you can always use the dreamboxuk frontend and database to create your new bouquets, its updated with freq changes etc and is in line with slys epg numbering.
upload them to your hosting.

then you can install the autoupdate plugin and initiate a download of the new bouquets from your hosting on each box. this is what i currently do with family / freinds

i just create a new set of bouquets and upload them to my hosting, then the user can initiate the download of new bouquets from there box and it installs them. you can always set it up as a cron job too.

agreed mate. i use B16MCC's DBUK services database / front end software my self on my DM600 for this exact purpose. although i can see the appeal of a fully automated system with no user input needed.

the bane of my life. so irritating to find channels that used to work no longer work. had planned to log a post asking a simple question, with all the frequency changes how come sky customers have no issue. and in return why is it not possible to emulate.

because sky and their receiver manufacturers paid millions of £ for development and still do, something the amateur teams such as VIX / blackhole / VTI etc. can not do. it's written into the sky firmware same as all other official service providers

hi

i'm working in parrall on the user interface, but more time is being spent on parser for the kos website
i've broken down the tv and radio, and am trying to parse the changes feed, and thinking on the best way to detect frequency changes to update the satellite.xml and bouquet list

hopefully a first working beta in the days to come, but have not had much time lately, i think i should have more time by end of week so will be able to progress

[hashman]

good progress today:
the web scripts I can now:
- Import the data off KOS
- Generate a lamedb and import data off a lamedb as well (it was a backup method in case i couldn't get the KOS data imported)

Next step:
- Setup a bouquet system to generate bouquets
- Setup business logic to detect the update of channel frequency (and therefore SID)
- Setup interface to define the bouquets and create links that would autogenerate the bouquet/lamedb for download directly to the box
- Make an easy package to install that would setup the cronjob and update bouquets on box automatically (for distribution purposes)

will continue after weekend

not meaning ti hijack this thread but a new image has been released with this feature incorporated.
the new DBUK = dreamboxuk image comes with the ability to automatically update it's sky uk bouquet pack with the aid of the B16MCC services database all without the need of a pc directly from the box and image it self.

Only problem I see with that, is that it's for the dbuk b16mm channel proggy.

This plugin will be miles better imo, since it will retrieve all data for all satellites from the kos website. Personally prefer that idea...

yes i see your point but the b16 front end database is updated very regularly, in most cases before KOS even acknowledges changes have been made. yes at the moment this feature is only working fir sky uk but rossi is looking at incorporating others into it. personally i'm looking forward to both projects to see what they can do.
