Latest information version of the script will always be linked here rather than individual blog posts, e.g here is the place to link to…
Background
Long story short there are some good IPTV providers out there, however the offering enigma2 wise seemed to be a giant m3u file that you import into a single bouquet or manually configure with E-Channelizer. Both reasonable approaches but a bit lacking in usability and some what time consuming.
So a bit of research and some coding based on Tommycahir’s guides ,I (suls) came up with a decent little script to take an IPTV providers m3u file and create working bouquets within Enigma. Given the timing and demise of some services in the marketplace this proved a massive hit and filled an apparent gap in the market.
Moving forward from the initial couple of versions of the script DougMac offered to pitch in and offered his services which have quite frankly progressed the script / plugin in ways I would personally never have done or achieved in the time frames Doug has, I’d love to take credit for Dougs work of late but sadly the plugin and bouquet management is all Dougs. I promise I’ll do some more coding soon !
So we are a team of two, giving something back to the community. We are not paid for our efforts (and do not expect to be although it does in fact cost us), we do our best to support the script / plugin but we do both work for a living and have other commitments.
Where can i get it ?
Latest releases are available here
Plugin
As of version 0.6 of the script it is also available in Enigma2 plugin format which should ease the install pain and general usage for those that aren’t commandline gurus.
See the plugin homepage or community install guides here for further information.
So what does it do?
- Downloads an m3u file from your provider and creates enigma bouquets and channels from the m3u data.
- Also creates unique service references for use with EPG importers
- Creates EPG-Importer source files using your providers XML TV EPG data streams
- Splits VOD into bouquets
- Picon Support
- Bouquet/Channel Ordering
- Multiple provider support
In english this means enigma2 users (vuplus / dreambox, zgemma etc) can get a similar IPTV experience to a mag254 or perfect player user. Eg Channels split into groups with EPG data on your enigma box.
NB: The script does not touch or change any of your existing bouquets
Named provider support.
Update (07/03/2018) – Named providers are no longer supported. Use the config based setup instead.
Pre Requisites
You need the EPG-Importer plugin on your box to use this script.. believe this is available in all current enigma images.
How do i use it?
- ftp the e2m3u2bouquet.py to your engima2 box (i would suggest to /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet)
- ssh to your enigma2 box (using putty or something similar)
- cd to the correct directory if you are not already there
cd /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet- make script executable
chmod 777 e2m3u2bouquet.py
URL Based Setup
- run the script passing the url for your m3u file and the url for your providers XML TV data feed
python e2m3u2bouquet.py -m "http://provider_url/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" -e "http://provider_url/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD"NB: you need to replace the username and password values X 2
If you are with a different provider the script should work but you will obviously need the m3u url (1st parameter) and XML TV url (2nd parameter) for your own provider. Please note the m3u file needs to be the “extended” version if you have the option.
Config File Based Setup (v0.7 onwards)
Run the script with no parameters
./e2m3u2bouquet.py
The script on first run will create a config.xml in /etc/enigma2/e2m3u2bouquet and tell you to fill it in.
Edit the config.xml and populate provider details and settings for as many providers as your require, the XML is commented so should be pretty straight forward.
nano config.xml
or
vi config.xml
Or use FTP to transfer the file for editing and replace it.
Then run the script again.
./e2m3u2bouquet.py
This will create for all the providers specificed and enabled in the config file.
To automate this use linux crontabs as detailed in the cron automation post
NB: All settings are contained within the config file there is no need to use the below switches if running the script with a config file.
For Picon Support
Add -P and optionally -q /path/to/picon/folder/ if you don’t store your picons in the default location
./e2m3u2bouquet.py -m "http://provider_url/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" -e "http://provider_url/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD" -P
./e2m3u2bouquet.py -m "http://provider_url/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" -e "http://provider_url/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD" -P -q /mount/usb/picon/
To Reorder Bouquets / Channels
See Custom Mapping post for full details
Specify all stream types to be IPTV
Default is DVB stream types for live channels and IPTV for VOD, all IPTV type streams may be required if you are unable to record channels.
./e2m3u2bouquet.py -m "http://provider_url/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" -e "http://provider_url/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD" -iSplit VOD into seperate bouquets
./e2m3u2bouquet.py -m "http://provider_url/get.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts" -e "http://provider_url/xmltv.php?username=YOURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD" -MUninstall

Importing EPG Data
- open EPG-Importer plugin (download it if you haven’t already got it)
- select sources (Blue button on openvix)
- enable the source created by the script (e2m3u2bouquet / FAB / EPIC)
- Kick off a manual EPG import
It is highly recommended that you select the “Clear EPG Data” option in EPG-Import to clear data before importing. Also if you schedule the script as a cron job make sure this is just before your daily EPG-import schedule.
How do I update my Channels
Simply run the script again, or set this script up as a scheduled cron job as per this guide.
