Australiasat: Working 7 day EPG for foxtel!

[admin]

yep , at least they fixed one thing

Do not forget to edit /usr/bin/enigma2.sh (see instructions) or it won't load.

It states the following in the instructions...

** CHANGE /usr/bin/enigma2.sh **

It's mandatory to change the script /usr/bin/enigma2.sh
Just before 'LD_PRELOAD' add one of the following lines (depending on your image and EPGDAT option in e2_loadepg.conf) so that, after a Enigma2 Restart GUI, ext.epg.dat will be re-read.

Examples:

Instead of command "mv" (move) you can also use the command "cp" (copy).
In this way the file ext.epg.dat will never be erased and will always be available in case of reboot


GEMINI 3.x :
----------------------------- enigma2.sh ---------------------------------------
[ -f /media/cf/ext.epg.dat ] && mv /media/cf/ext.epg.dat /media/cf/gemini.epg.dat
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or
----------------------------- enigma2.sh ---------------------------------------
[ -f /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat ] && mv /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat /media/hdd/gemini.epg.dat
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LT 4 :
----------------------------- enigma2.sh ---------------------------------------
[ -f /media/cf/ext.epg.dat ] && mv /media/cf/ext.epg.dat /media/cf/epg.dat
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
or
----------------------------- enigma2.sh ---------------------------------------
[ -f /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat ] && mv /media/hdd/ext.epg.dat /media/hdd/epg.dat
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libopen.so.0.0 /usr/bin/enigma2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My enigma2.sh files does not have LD_PRELOAD line as mentioned above...

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/showiframe /boot/backdrop.mvi

cd /home/root
/usr/bin/enigma2

# enigma2 exit codes:
#
# 0 - restart enigma
# 1 - halt
# 2 - reboot
#
# >128 signal

ret=$?
case $ret in
	1)
		/sbin/halt
		;;
	2)
		/sbin/reboot
		;;
	4)
		/sbin/rmmod lcd
		/usr/sbin/fpupgrade --upgrade 2>&1 | tee /home/root/fpupgrade.log
		sleep 1;
		/sbin/rmmod fp
		/sbin/modprobe fp
		/sbin/reboot
		;;
	*)
		;;
esac

Where should I insert the relevant line?

Sorry, but i don't know off the top of my head. Hmm which image are you using? I assume it has to be one with the capacity to load an EPG from a file? Anyone?

FYI. The "australiasat" package is now available from Ambrosa (author of loadepg) and will be incorporated into future loadepg releases as an integrated module.

For more information:



He may also be the guy to talk to if you have tech questions about e2_loadepg.

Well done. Well adapted. I agree that OzTivo leaves a bit to be desired.

OzTivo is pretty good and full credit to everyone who is and has been involved in keeping it up to date and in putting together the various plugins and files that can read it. They've been a life saver til now.

But the foxtel data is a whole lot better. Accurate times, accurate details (episode name and numbers, who is playing in a given sporting match, etc), it has a full week in advance accurately, and a lot easier and faster to keep up to date. Looking forward to being able to find and record my team's games a week out in footy season!

hey mate
what box's are these compatible with?

[poiuytrewq]

hey mate
what box's are these compatible with?

Must be an enigma2 based box. I have a dm7025 but it should also work on a dm800, dm8000 and any other box that runs enigma2 (is there an enigma2 7020 or did i imagine that?).

It will not work on dm500, dm600, dm7000 or anything running enigma1.

If anyone can find some openTV code for enigma1 i can take a look at it when i get some time. I have a dm500 in box somewhere.

[poiuytrewq]

Has anyone got this working on Austar yet?

It *should* work but someone just asked me and i don't know..

[jimbo123]

Austar in a non-provider STB ?

[poiuytrewq]

Austar in a non-provider STB ?

Can't it be done anymore? I'm not in a austar area so it's not something that i've paid any attention to. now i think about it, i vaguely remember that it all went pear shaped around the time the gams appeared but just figured someone had updated the sofcams or something since then...

I don't know about openTV code, but the web based tv guide at uses a SOAP webservice to send data to the flash client. As a proof of concept, I was able to download a weeks full of EPG data and output it to XMLTV format. This would definitely work for Enigma 1 boxes (as XMLTV is the format oztivo uses), with just some modifications to the existing oztivo scripts.

I posted a while back about it in the Premium Members Lounge but no one was that interested back then...................

That would have been a handy thing to know before i figured out how to read it straight off the sat.

From looking around, there is enigma1 version of OpenTV but i haven't yet had a chance to look at it yet. I haven't had played with an enigma1 box for a couple of years so the learning curve is a little too steep for me to dive straight into. As i said, if someone else takes a look at it, i would be able to help.

Yeah, that's an OzTivo/ XML based solution.

It's ok but it's pretty inacurate and not always up to date.

The "australiasat" files in this thread read foxtel's 7 day EPG direct from the transponder.

It's got a much higher level of accuracy, detail etc.

[Saintaholic]

No problem there. I just posted the link as a solution for Enigma1

G'day mcjules
I would be interested in that .. it may be a more accurate input of xmltv data for the script upload for e1 boxes atht I have been working on.
any details on hat project would be appreciated
cheers

[mcjules]

Sure. Last time I've looked at it was in September and they've looked like the client has been updated. I'll try out my code when I get home to see if it still works. It's definitely still using a SOAP wsdl so worst case scenario is that I'll have to regenerate the stubs.

The app I wrote was written in java and is still a P.O.C. it would be nice if it could be written in a language that could run on a 500 but I haven't got that far.

thats right - if it can run on the dreambox - then it removes the need for a PC
Although - I do have a number of PC's running all the time
even if we could work out somewhere to load the xmltv files on the net so that aussie dreambox owners have the capability to dload xml created from teh foxtel EPG rather than oztivo ..

let me know how you get on or if I can help
cheers

I think you and I are on the same wavelength here :-)
