[PLUGIN] E2M3U2BOUQUET ENIGMA2-IPTV-BOUQUETS-WITH-EPG

October 17, 2018 admine2

So what does it do?

Downloads an m3u file and creates enigma bouquets and channels from the m3u data.
Also creates unique service references for use with EPG importers
Creates EPG-Importer source files using XML TV EPG data streams
Option to split VOD bouquets by initial category

In english this means enigma2 users (vuplus / dreambox, zgemma etc) can get a similar IPTV experience to a mag254 or perfect player user. Eg Channels split into groups with EPG data on your enigma box.

NB: The script does not touch or change any of your existing bouquets

How do i use it?

ftp the e2m3u2bouquet.py to your engima2 box (i would suggest to /home/root)
ssh to your enigma2 box (using putty or something similar)
cd to the correct directory if you are not already there cd /home/root
make script executable chmod 777 e2m3u2bouquet.py
run the script passing the url for your m3u file and the url for your epg XML TV data feed
note: you need to replace the username and password values X 2 and server:port
python e2m3u2bouquet.py "http://server:port/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" "http://server:port/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD"
No need to reboot

Additionally If you want epg data

open EPG-Importer plugin (download it if you haven’t already got it)
select sources (Blue button on openvix)
enable all the IPTV UK sources created by the script
Kick off a manual EPG import

the script should work but you will obviously need the m3u url (1st
parameter) and XML TV url (2nd parameter) for your a stream you have found. Please
note the m3u file needs to be the “extended” version if you have the
option.

there is other post on the thread here https://www.suls.co.uk/enigma2-iptv-bouquets-with-epg/

that will go further regards cron timers etc

now iv tried it with 2 free iptv iv found, on both it split the files into different bouquets and epg was made, but was a limited one as that depends on source

have fun, hope it will help a few people that want multiple bouquets

as i said this is not mine all thanks to the testers and the original source from Tommycahir

PLEASE BACK UP FIRST, dont take responsability for boxes crashing or boot loops
