    How to automate CatsEye Settings

    All,

    I have written a script to automate the install of the latest CatsEye Settings. The attached script does the following:

    Connects to the catseye website
    Gets file name of the latest update
    Pulls down the latest update (if required)
    Installs the bouquets onto the receiver
    Reloads the settings

    The script requires unrar to be installed on the receiver. This can be done by running:

    opkg install unrar

    The script should be placed in /usr/script/

    The script has editable variables so that it can be customized for other users.

    - Settings name (choose between 28.2E / 75E to 45W)
    - Working directory (default set to /hdd/CatseyeSettings/)
    - Web URL (In case it changes)
    - Bouquets directory (/etc/enigma2/ for the VU Duo)

    I am going to set the script up to run daily, shortly followed by running AutoBouquetsMaker. This way I have all the latest satellite settings for my motorised set up along with nicely laid out bouquet for SKY.

    I hope others find this useful :-)

    Nice work. Im sure others wll use it.

    May i suggest as part of the update process you find a way of placing enigma into sleep mode first then wake it again once the new settings have been installed ??. This would remove a host of possible problems associated with loading a bouquet pack while enigma is awake.

    Great work. Like the fact that it only downloads if file is newer.

    Isn't unzipping natively suported in images? If so, what is the command to replace line 69? Many thanks.

    Pheonix, what do you mean by sleep mode? Do you mean shutdown Enigma2 and restart it? ( init 4, init 3)

    Are there known issues of loading a bouquet pack when Enigma2 is running? When you install from the feeds etc it seems to just load them seamlessly.

    Yes that's exactly what I mean and yes loading a bouquet while enigma is live can give you issues even from the feeds. Its not a problem but it would be a big improvement.

    Also when installing settings from the feeds you sometimes get issues (like '<N/A>' on many services).

    Yep all correct, your lamedb file is overwritten by your new file you just downloaded, BUT when shutting down enigma2 it again overwrites lamedb with what was in memory.

    It would also be nice if the "Only update settingslist" from the update menu would shutdown enigma2, just like a regular update.

    yes, this is why when i'm transferring bouquets to a receiver i always shut down enigma first then and only then commence the transfer and reboot once complete.

    at the request from Rob, i looked into this, and i can't see anything wrong, as the current code in software Update -> Update channels setting only.

    the code removes the old setting then installs the new ones, then it reads the new lamedb immediately. no need for init 4 or gui restart.


    Code:
    child has terminated
    pipes closed
    TEST 1
    TEST 3
    executing opkg remove enigma2-plugin-settings-catseye.23e.19e
    poll: unhandled POLLERR/HUP/NVAL for fd 74(16)
    KEY: 352 OK
    child has terminated
    pipes closed
    TEST 1
    TEST 4
    executing opkg install enigma2-plugin-settings-catseye.23e.19e
    poll: unhandled POLLERR/HUP/NVAL for fd 74(16)
    child has terminated
    pipes closed
    TEST 1
    TEST 5
    ---- opening lame channel db
    reading services (version 4)
    loaded 1667 services
    poll: unhandled POLLERR/HUP/NVAL for fd 74(16)

    OK, so this is fine as it is atm. Good!

    However: that doesn't explain

    This is an issue that occasionally happens on all images; it can easily be fixed by installing the same settings again.

    from how i understand how things work, it all depend on what satellites.xml was used to scan and create the lamedb, as those refs maybe no longer in ours and thus it can't find them.

    loaded 1667 services

    Then it will work OK, I presumed that because it didn't shutdown enigma2 it would just replace it and that would be all, but if it reads in the new file that's OK also.

    Is there any way to force a read in of lamedb from commandline?
