FAQs

No picons/Vod Covers are showing.

Picons and VOD covers references are brought in my your provider. If these are empty then that is a provider issue.

EPG times are incorrect.

The majority of proividers will probably have a different timezone than your local timezone.
To adjust your EPG timeshift go into main screen. Highlight your provider and click "Edit" (Yellow).
EPG timeshift is at the bottom of the list.
EPG Timeshift is correct - but some times are out.
This seems to be a provider data issue. Contact your provider explaining the times are wrong for their enigma2.php API.

Your plugin says my playlist is incompatible or no data.

This plugin is for xtream codes playlists only it will not play any other type of playlist.
Not all playlists will be 100% compatible.
Lots of main IPTV providers are UK football blocked and will therefore be off when the football is on.
Lots of IPTV providers are GEO locked to a specific country. Try using a VPN for the GEO location of provider.

My playlists plays in another plugin but not in XStreamity

This plugin uses a small quick and simple API to bring in simplified data.
Some other plugins use the more advanced larger and slower API.
The 2 APIs are totally different.
Unfortunately if your playlist is not compatible, then you cannot use Xstreamity

Video resolution incorrect in infobar

It has been reported that exteplayer (5002) is showing incorrect video resolutions.
I cannot fix that, but if your press TV/PVR button to change the stream type to 4097. The resolution shown will be correct

Screen is just black when playing streams.

Press TV/PVR button while the stream is playling to toggle through the different stream types.
You might need to also edit your playlist settings to be a different stream type for that provider.
If all stream types have been tried and you still get a black screen, then it is probably just a dead stream.

I am getting a PVR screen overlay when showing infobar.

For example some skins have a seperate screen for the Play/Pause/FF state.
There is a setting on your box that you can turn on to remove this screen.
Normally lives under OSD settings.
Show PVR status in MoviePlayer Infobar. Set it to "YES"

This should fix any crashes people are getting....but some images like dreambox and older images might still experience freezes as this data is being processed. Hopefully not to much of a delay.

We still working on other solutions, but for now this is the best we got for dreambox and older images.

New timed EPGs downloads. Now removed from live streams screen.

Main Settings - set the time convenient to you when your box is on.

Images that don't allow threading will still get some freezing of box functionality when this happens. Viewing Live TV will be fine.
So set the download time when its not an inconvenience to you.
All other images should notice next to no freezing.




Main Menu - New Manual EPG download - if you want to refresh EPG to see if its been updated. Or if you can't wait for your set time.





Note these now download all your playlists EPGs in one go. One by one.
So warning if you have lots and lots of providers. There is going to be a big chunk of background work going on.

● New Vod downloader.
Now downloads in background. No queueing downloads for this version. Only 1 at a time.
Now reports size of file.
If IPTV stream from same provider is playing when you start the download. I stop this. Its up to you if you start it again. Then you can blame yourselves and not me.

● New VOD/Catchup resume
This was simple to do in the end. The components were already there. I just had to learn how to use them.
The storage for these resumes live in /etc/enigma2/resumepoints.pkl. This probably wasn't designed for 100s of VOD files. So might be best to keep an eye on it. If it gets bloated just delete all the contents of it to refresh it.

-Fixes

Mainly EPG fixes. Made the download less strict, which seem to fix a few issues.

Amended Dreambox infobar framerate code
Fixed typo in infobar preventing icons displaying
Put in another catch for dodgy providers bringing back crap and invalid code.

More tweaks on my downloadmanager
Removed redirect check - so now loads faster
Added in a few more error catches
If https line and your image had an old wget library you will be prompted to manually update your wget library. Otherwise https will not work
Allowed series episodes to now be added to the download manager.

New EPG offset setting in playlist settings. This is only for provider epg I download. Not epgs that use satellite refs via epgimporter.

Bonus: while I was doing the above I added in an EPG timeshift. So you can see what is on later for all channels. Pressing keys 7 (minus hour), 8 (reset), 9 (plus hour)

Epgimport source files are now in one file and grouped. Files should automatically delete and self clean entries for active playlists only.
Channel files remain separate though.
