This plugin shows epg from web sources. Specially, it shows epg for all the channels in the source directly (not only the channels in bouquets).

It is a Beta version - please test.

For now the web sources are from Rytec and Ambrosa. Many thanks to those behind these sources.

There are two plugins in the ipk. EPGUpdate (in the Plugins or Extensions) and ViewEPG (in Extensions and INFO - long press). EPGUpdate configures the source import and has a frontend similar to the plugin EPGImport.

The autostart is at bootup and enigma2 start. So if you are doing Restart enigma2 for other reasons - please "Disable" autostart.

Some images may need gzip.py (in folder /usr/lib/python-2.5) and zlib.so (in folder /usr/lib/python-2.5/lib-dynload chmod 755). These are attached.

The epg updating takes some minutes - so please be patient. It can be checked with ViewEPG.

Regards, pcd.

Does this plugin include Viasat Baltic channels, like LTV1, TV3 Latvia, ETV, ETV2, Lithuanian TV1 etc.?

Probably Nordic does. I have not checked - there are hundreds of channels in there ! :D

Only Enimga2 I'm guessing. Or is there support for Enigma1 as well?

It is possible to write this plugin for enigma1. But will there be many users ?

You can of course have enigma2 images for all of your boxes ! :)

There seems to still be a large E1 user base out there. There are plenty of EPG options available for E2 users, but E1 users have limited options.

You probably know this but there are Python to C compilers available. I don't know much about them, but they may be of use to you.

To be honest, I cant understand the move from the pre compiled languages used in Enigma1 to the higher level scripting language of Python for E2. Computing power on STBs is still fairly limited in comparison to a basic PC. I would have thought that 'closer to the metal' languages would still be better for most STBs. Running an E2 image on a DM500 or DM600 will make the lack of efficiency very obvious.

Why not use Rytec's EPG for E1 and E2. It can be installed easily on any image and works really well with support for many countries. The E1 version is a standard addon download in OpenPli download menu and works really well. Full installation instructions can be found at _www.rytec.be for both E1 and E2. I run it on a DM600, Dm800 and DM7025 and I am very happy with it. Configuration is really simple. Just bear in mind that EPGs need quite a bit of storgae space, so will most likely require a hard disk or external USB drive.

Python is not compiled. It is a script - so it is very easy to write and test. That's why the new dreambox developments are for enigma2. You will not have Mediacenter or Googlemap for e1 ! It took me a long time to write youtubeplayer for e1.

@shumifan50

This plugin uses Rytec sources. But you need to use this plugin to see what is different. But if you are happy with what you have - there is no need.

Cheers, pcd. :)

PCD, I'm aware that Python is not a compiled language and I understand the arguments as to why developers might prefer to use it. I just see a big difference between my E1 and E2 boxes in terms of response times. I can fly through menus on my E1 box (despite its lesser hardware) whereas the E2 box is slow in comparison.

Anyway, way off topic.

Thanks for the Plugin.

Please replace the rytec file in folder /etc/epgupdate with the attached. :)

Rename the file rytec.sources.xml

Cheers, pcd.

This happens if the updating is inturrupted (for example by Restart enigma2).

Please delete the file /etc/enigma2/epg.upd

and try again.

I do not know why only nordic is showing. Did you go to plugin EPGUpdate and do the Sources (blue button)config ?

If so - Rytec may have changed something - I will have to check.

Cheers, pcd.
