or in a nutshell, all these hacked lines you see everywhere with a mac address, they are stalker lines.
We dont have many free players available on enigma2. So I thought I would try and write one in my style.
And in theory its going to be easy. 
Because its just going to be xstreamity with different calls for the data.
It isn't, but it is really.
Well not in my plugin because I use pillow library for the downloading and converting.
And that cant use svgs.
enigma2 can only display png picons. If your provider has changed them to jpg or svg then they wont get shown.
If you want to private message my your line details I can look and see what picons are in your data if you want.
I can tell you in 2mins.
I don't reinvent the wheel - I do things differently. The user will know its dead or not working.
First rule of creating a new plugin - don't look at what others have done. Ignore their interfaces, ignore their code.
Just create what you want to see. You being me. :)
I am bored.
my new epiconizer plugin (picon master) got put on hold, because I didn't like where it was going. I need to rethink that one.
my new epg assigner plugin (epgconnect) got put on hold - because I lost interest in doing the project as its not something I would personally use.
So I might write a stalker/ministra plugin instead 
picons come from your provider. If you don't have picons. Your provider hasn't added the picon urls to the API data.
You cant manually add them.
Support forum for xstreamity is here.
X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player?
So try filezilla on your computer and see if that picks it up. Total commander is fugly.
saalty - yes there is a limit on picon sizes as some are ridiculously large in size. So when downloading 1000s it can seriously effect the speed of the whole process.
As for the name clash. Yes I do make the names file safe to prevent any illegal characters in filenames.
def safeName(name):
"""
if debugs:
print("*** safeName ***", name)
"""
if pythonVer == 2:
if isinstance(name, str):
name = name.decode("utf-8", "ignore")
elif pythonVer == 3:
if not isinstance(name, str):
name = str(name)
# Replace unsafe characters with underscores
name = re.sub(r'[\'\<\>\:\"\/\\\|\?\*\(\)\[\]]', "_", name)
name = re.sub(r" ", "_", name)
name = re.sub(r"_+", "_", name)
name = name.strip("_")
# print("*** newname ***", name)
return name
for example.
Not a lot I can do about that - its the safest way to do it.
Its just a poor choice of category names by your provider and not really standard practice to add an asterisk to an alternative category.
Drop your provider a message and ask him to change as it clashes in iptv apps.
Looking at my example above.
The example of UK | Sports*
firstly gets cleaned to UK_Sports_ (which is unique)
But my last line of code removes trailing underscores. (making it the same as the other one)
You can amend the code yourself to work in your specific circumstance.
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/BouquetMakerXtream/globalfunctions.py
Delete this line should work for you.

also see this post in my openatv setup guide.
RE: OpenATV 7.* setup guide by KiddaC
muratsulak your posts were deleted as you had read my response. You acknowledged my response. You ignored my response.
I dont waste my time fixing bugs on experimental images especially dreambox experimental images.
Use an oe-alliance image like openatv or newenigma on your dreambox and your problems will go away.
Can I add bouquets creation to this. No there is a huge amount of code need to make bouquets correctly. Hence why there is a complete separate plugin for it. BMX. BouquetMakerXtream.
Ok I just tested this for you.. sjlouis
Amend your settings function to this. So we pick up the different levels. This should now pickup your margin changes before downloading.
def settings(self):
from . import settings
if self.level == 1:
callback = lambda: self.createSetup()
elif self.level == 2:
callback = lambda: self.catchupEPG()
else:
callback = None
self.session.openWithCallback(callback, settings.XStreamity_Settings)sjlouis Its good you are willing to have a go. To answer some of your questions.
Crashes -
You cannot mix tabs and spaces. So you use one or the other.
all my plugins are designed with a 4 spaces as the tabbing. Do not use a tab.
If adding a new keymap action, all lines must end in a comma - except the last one. The last one doesn't need a comma.
Ordering of functions is irrelevant as long as its inside the class. There must have been an error maybe with the tabbing or the code.
As we are doing a callback to createsetup from settings - I assume this should just work. Because it should reload the screen.
The referencing of the margins is later in the code.
you probably just need to set network password. There isn't one by default
menu > network > password settings
You also need samba turned on - but that should already be set.
As urie has said, your enigma2 image will already have defined locations it looks for picons.
/root/picon
/usr/share/enigma2/
mountpoints...
/hdd/picon
/usb/picon
etc
But you can only have one picon folder in these set locations. User created folders dont matter and aren't effected.
If you use something like openatv it will automatically create the correct symlink if you initialise a usb.
Other images may differ, so best to remove other locations if the symlink hasn't been set up automatically.
You can tell if its symlinked for example if you click on /root/picon/ folder it will open up /hdd/picon.
Is your root/picon symlinked to a usb or hdd?
If not. do not save to internal folder. Save them to a usb stick.
BouquetMakerXtream (BMX) - v1.51
New files on post 1
Fixed a potential crash if iptv server doesn't respond.
Example of my satellite picons - which are SNP picons and IPTV picons which are SRP picons

plus iptv picons

The reason you are probably getting a black screen, is an anti hack built into most iptv providers.
If there are more active users than allowed, which is normally the case with hacked lines, then the stream will either fail to play or stop after a set amount of time. 5 seconds, 30 seconds etc.
The only work around is to use something like oottppxx's quarter pounder plugin. Which tries to restart stopped streams. Its still going to stop though, but then it might try and play it again.
Quite frankly - if you found the line on the net, them someone else has probably also found that line on the net. So the chance of it playing smoothly is slim.
I editted my post above, it might help.
Or use SRP picons in the picon settings. That is a unique ref.
SNP picon names might clash with your original ones.
My code doesn't delete any picons. But if you are not saving to external device (usb/hdd), maybe you running out of space or memory.
