Enigma2 channel converter

Anonymous

Just to let everybody know, I've created a channel converter to convert Enigma2 lamedb channellists to the Tvheadend format.
Since VPID,APID, TPID and CAID are not available in lamedb, I had to ommit these values.

If somebody likes to test and give feedback, linux shell script and sample output is located at:

https://bitbucket.org/picons/lamedb2tvh/src

If all works OK, next step, wich is pretty easy, is to auto-add channel logos link...

EDIT: This converts to the NEW config format

just added channel logo linking, see attachment

Great job, editing channels list was always main issue for me of tvheadend. I try to use it, but I don’t know how I can put results from script (folder “input”). Can You write short manual?

EDIT: Ok, I didn't notice that this is the NEW config format.

Indeed, no point in writing something for an "to be obsolete" config

Hi!

thanks much for your hard work. Tried your script today and it did a lot of things....

Output was not exactly what expected.
/channel contains only 1 file named "*".
/channeltags has 1 file with taginfo: "name": "All Channels", and 42 files with taginfo : "name": "TV" ORDER BY BOUQUET".

/input has endless info about muxes etc...

while coming from a openpli -> enigma2 environment are there any limitations or specials to be aware of?

Will try to give as much information as possible for troubleshooting and testing. add the complete log of the conversion run. hope it will be useful!

best regards

Indeed, something isn't going like it should with your channellist.

ok, some feedback before i have to go to work.... did some housecleaning within the bouquet list first. downed latest script version and startet... voila! looks very promising at the moment. channels are there, tags correct, picon-url in place. seems working now ~100%. have to check for channel renumbering but this will be a later task when back from shift.

thanks so far for your great script and the excellent support for it.

your channellist was indeed sloppy and the problem was that the serviceref in the bouquet files was in capital letters, and in lamedb it was not, but this is fixed now in the latest script.

BTW, mapping channels with tvheadend should not be necessary, if the script and channellist is correct. Your "favourites" are mapped by the script.

Hi!

tried latest version from bitbucket today. tvheadend stops during startup with error/dump when using the fresh generated output.

find attached info.

Should be fixed now

Looks great again. Well done!

sorry I'd be interested to converter lamedb to tvh, how to install or how you perform, there is a wiki for this converter.

thanks

Hm seems that there's still/again something wrong with it?

Converting worked (seems to)...

- Moving "channel" directory to hts folder worked
- Moving "channeltags" directory to hts folder worked

- Within "input" folder there's something different. The "networks" folder exists within "dvb" folder, not within linuxdvb.

After copying everything and starting TV-Headend I noticed that all channels have no name and no number.

How can I help to find what's went wrong?

The importscript creates "network"-folders which do not match the ones already existing...
