Enigma2 channel converter

Anonymous · 2013-12-23T21:36:12+00:00

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 you using the latest tvheadend version from GitHub or a version from before the config switch?

I'm using the latest git checkout of tv-headend. And enigma2 channel stuff from a OE2.0 image...

I've written a "Enigma2 to TV-Channel channel/bouquet converter" in python.

https://github.com/realriot/e2ToTVH

The important thing is that existing bouquet entries are matched against an existing TV-Heading channellist. So, you should already have performed a channelscan.

Hi Sascha, I've tried it but it doesn't work for me.
If I run it as ./e2ToTVH.py it returns 'command not found'.

If I run it as 'python e2ToTVH.py then I get this:

Writing TV-Headend bouquet configuration... Writing TV-Headend service configuration... Reading file: /home/tvh/lamedb Parsing content from file: /home/tvh/lamedb Reading TV bouquets... Reading RADIO bouquets... Reading TV-Headend service files... Writing TV-Headend bouquet configuration... Writing TV-Headend service configuration...

But it does create empty channel and channeltags directory with no files inside.

I use lamedb ver. 4 edited in Dreamset.

Appriciate your help.

Sascha Schmidt

As output directory, did you enter an already existing tv-headend directory?
Which version of TV-Headend are you using?

I have the same issue but more than likely because i dont have latest tvheadend (i use openelec and latest i can get is HTS Tvheadend 3.9.383~g1745e0c). Folder layouts are probably different with newer builds. For example, my input folder is like this ~/input/linuxdvb/networks, but newer builds must have /input/dvb/networks/ going by your script. Manually changing it doesnt work. Anyways hopefully i can get a newer build in the coming months that works with your script as i would love to have it working.

@Sascha Schmidt

I run the latest TVH from github. I moved channel and channeltags directory to different location.
And I used this command:

sudo python e2ToTVH.py -i /home/tvh -o /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend

Sascha Schmidt

I've added a debug switch (-d) to my script. I hope that this help to identify problems of wrong created tvh configurations.

Michael Donet

OK, here is the output with -d switch:

And the list is Hotbird list from here:


http://www.vhannibal.net/enigma2.php

It still creates empty channel and channetags directories.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Sascha Schmidt

Can you attach (zip) your engima2 directory where lamedb and your bouquet/channel files exist?

Michael Donet

Download from here:

Sascha Schmidt

Your enigma2 format is a little bit different to the one from me:

My bouquet.tv as an example:

#NAME Bouquets (TV)
#SERVICE 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.oeffentliche__tv_.tv" ORDER BY bouquet

#SERVICE 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.private__tv_.tv" ORDER BY bouquet

Your bouquet.tv as an example:

#NAME Bouquets (TV)
#SERVICE: 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:userbouquet.vh01.tv
#SERVICE: 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:userbouquet.vh02.tv

#SERVICE: 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:userbouquet.vh03.tv

Which engima2 and/or image are you using?

Ive tried both scripts, but the first one (bash version) does not write channel numbers. Isn't it possible to write channel numbers?

The second one in python doesn't work at all. I get:


[DEBUG] Found TVH service: 81d9395c4c615ae644c47ad08a2ed853 (NUVOLARI / Arqiva)
[DEBUG] Found TVH service: 1c5ceb36e6b9d55021bf7c62be9109e7 (FTL Farsi / Arqiva)
[DEBUG] Found TVH service: 3df663d9c8fb8cf11f70649ae024db79 (Farsi1 / ARQIVA)
[DEBUG] Write found bouquets

[DEBUG] Write found services
Writing TV-Headend service configuration...
  ServiceReference from bouquet not found in lamedb: 1:64:56:0:0:0:0:0:0:0::
[DEBUG] END OF CODE

Its not possible for the python one to create its own services like the bash one does?

anyone get this working for any 28east channel lists? Script runs but channels and channeltags folders are always empty.

Anonymous

About what script are you talking, because it seems somebody hijacked my thread?

gary tan

sorry i was referring to Sascha Schmidt's script. However i have got your script working now and it works great. My only issue is having no channel numbering but nothing you can do about that.

cheers

Hi,

is it true that something changed with the config files with latest tvh 3.9?

I tried the lamedb2tvh tool and it worked fine with my old enigma2 channellist but it seems that the script is working only with the old config format?

The folders does not match with the current ones, in special channeltags? thats not a main folder actually its a sub folder of channels\tags... i am confused and don't know how to use it, if i just copy channels and channeltags contents to the matching folders it does not work.

Will there be an update of this script?

Regards X23
