Picons to Europe EPG manual populate

[siilver]

One way of getting your iptv EPG full is to get the channel reference code for the channel. And what can come with the code? Yea picons.
And if anyone has used picons.eu. And installed one of their packs. You know it have 5000 odd picons with it
These do a lot of channels.
These codes also link to the EPG data.

This is for European channels really


How to

Go to https://www.picons.eu/
Go to downloads
Go down the page to srp and download an ipk or tar.xz
Select one of them might as well go to small ones. As long as you can see it
Download
Extract
Open up and start looking through the picon
Find the one you want
Copy the file name all but the extension

Should look like this
1:0:1:15b2:7fd:2:11a0000:0:0:0
Every channel will be different

You don't need the the first 1: at the start
So it will end up looking like this
0:1:15b2:7fd:2:11a0000:0:0:0


Go to your box and open up your original or converted file your agent sent you
I would make a backup first just incase
If it's on your box it will be at etc/enigma2

Mine are made in to bouquet files, so that's a .tv file. This should work on any of them

Once open
You will see a long list of channels looking like this

#SERVICE 4097:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:http%3A/url/username/password/channel Id.m3u8
#DESCRIPTION Channel name

You are looking to swap the bold section with the code you got from the picon file

So once you done that it will look like this below

#SERVICE 4097:0:1:15b2:7fd:2:11a0000:0:0:0:http%3A/url/username/password/channel Id.m3u8
#DESCRIPTION Channel name

Once done save it ftp it over the one on the box
etc/enigma2
Restart gui

This is where it can be different on your box,video use EPGimport, crossepg I have no idea

So once back open epgimport
Go to sources
Select the country the channel is from
Do a manual scan

And if done right your EPG should be filled for that channel

But the real point of this is to make a database of channel references for people to use

So if you have any to share please do. Or a better way to do

If you know anyone that uses abm on multisat you could ask them to create a custommix to download a cvs file this will have all channel data

Good lad more ideas
Good good

The only problem with this is so many people won't want the labour of doing it
And you can't pass yours on to someone else

 

[siilver]

Tried that for some channels it works fine. EPG works great from it.
But using the picon searching it's very slow.


So need a new way. Google here I come

 

[siilver]

How would different time zones work?

 

[siilver]

Been working on this wee list here. But all working away
Need to check the time zone now

Maybe not
They work with the iptv in epgimport.but when the box restarts you lose the epg

 

[dsayers2014]

Your doing great mines done via script and looking at the .tv files the don't have references just :0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0: then have channel.xml files for epg importer wish I know how they did it so I could help

 

[siilver]

But you have full EPG yea?
Name maybe

 

[dsayers2014]

Yea bare the odd usa and international sport channels

 

[siilver]

Does yours have a name after the url?

 

[dsayers2014]

Does yours have a name after the url?

Sorry that was one bouquet that was all 0,s others have stream references then the channel.xml's have url links

[siilver]

[siilver]

what is this channel reference called?

i know this is the normal one
1_0_19_1B1D_802_2_11A0000_0_0_0

but this one i have no idea
1B1D_802_2_11A0000=bbconehd

of is it just a hybrid type thing?
it works but

 

[dsayers2014]

That looks like some type of syntax to reference srp to snp I think that type of code is used in abe2 snp converter
