Tvheadend

just added channel logo linking, see attachment

Great job, editing channels list was always main issue for me of tvheadend. I try to use it, but I don’t know how I can put results from script (folder “input”). Can You write short manual?

EDIT: Ok, I didn't notice that this is the NEW config format.

Indeed, no point in writing something for an "to be obsolete" config

Hi!

thanks much for your hard work. Tried your script today and it did a lot of things....

Output was not exactly what expected.
/channel contains only 1 file named "*".
/channeltags has 1 file with taginfo: "name": "All Channels", and 42 files with taginfo : "name": "TV" ORDER BY BOUQUET".
/input has endless info about muxes etc...

while coming from a openpli -> enigma2 environment are there any limitations or specials to be aware of?

Will try to give as much information as possible for troubleshooting and testing. add the complete log of the conversion run. hope it will be useful!

best regards

Could you attach your channellist used to convert....

Here it comes. tared complete dir i used as source for conversion.

ok, stopped server, replaced config, started server. mapped channels. output attached.
some channel names missing. picons url missing. tags mixed somewhat. will try myself with latest script version from bitbucket and send feedback.

Indeed, something isn't going like it should with your channellist.

ok, some feedback before i have to go to work.... did some housecleaning within the bouquet list first. downed latest script version and startet... voila! looks very promising at the moment. channels are there, tags correct, picon-url in place. seems working now ~100%. have to check for channel renumbering but this will be a later task when back from shift.

thanks so far for your great script and the excellent support for it.

your channellist was indeed sloppy and the problem was that the serviceref in the bouquet files was in capital letters, and in lamedb it was not, but this is fixed now in the latest script.

BTW, mapping channels with tvheadend should not be necessary, if the script and channellist is correct. Your "favourites" are mapped by the script.

Hi!

tried latest version from bitbucket today. tvheadend stops during startup with error/dump when using the fresh generated output.

find attached info.

Should be fixed now

Looks great again. Well done!

sorry I'd be interested to converter lamedb to tvh, how to install or how you perform, there is a wiki for this converter.

thanks

Hm seems that there's still/again something wrong with it?

Converting worked (seems to)...

- Moving "channel" directory to hts folder worked
- Moving "channeltags" directory to hts folder worked
- Within "input" folder there's something different. The "networks" folder exists within "dvb" folder, not within linuxdvb.

After copying everything and starting TV-Headend I noticed that all channels have no name and no number.

How can I help to find what's went wrong?

The importscript creates "network"-folders which do not match the ones already existing...

Wow nice thread :D,
can anybody here make simple tutorial how to use it ? i confuse when i start it. i wanna try it too

Are you using the latest tvheadend version from GitHub or a version from before the config switch?

I'm using the latest git checkout of tv-headend. And enigma2 channel stuff from a OE2.0 image...

I've written a "Enigma2 to TV-Channel channel/bouquet converter" in python.

The important thing is that existing bouquet entries are matched against an existing TV-Heading channellist. So, you should already have performed a channelscan.

Hi Sascha, I've tried it but it doesn't work for me.
If I run it as ./e2ToTVH.py it returns 'command not found'.
If I run it as 'python e2ToTVH.py then I get this:

Writing TV-Headend bouquet configuration...
Writing TV-Headend service configuration...
Reading file: /home/tvh/lamedb
Parsing content from file: /home/tvh/lamedb
Reading TV bouquets...
Reading RADIO bouquets...
Reading TV-Headend service files...
Writing TV-Headend bouquet configuration...
Writing TV-Headend service configuration...

But it does create empty channel and channeltags directory with no files inside.
I use lamedb ver. 4 edited in Dreamset.

Appriciate your help.

As output directory, did you enter an already existing tv-headend directory?
Which version of TV-Headend are you using?
