Plugin EPG Filter

LraiZer · 27-10-2009, 06:41 PM

here's a couple of little script plugins i made to help add/delete channels to/from the epgfilter.xml

these two EPG Filter plugins will add menu options for:

EPG Filter - add channel
EPG Filter - delete channel

these will add/delete the current channel automatically to/from epgfilter.xml with the full epgfilter data for that channel.

IMPORTANT: (there MUST be a blank line at the end of any existing epgfilter.xml file) eg.

<epgfilter is_whitelist="1" except_current_next="1">
</epgfilter>
BLANK LINE HERE!

the epgfilter-add plugin will auto generate an epgfilter.xml with the correct necessary terminating blank line at end of the epgfilter.xml file if no epgfilter.xml file exists. so you can just delete your epgfilter.xml and then add a channel to create a new epgfilter.xml file. the system will require a reboot after any changes are made to reload the filter again, and if you have yweb (nhttpd) installed then you will get a popup msg telling you this otherwise msg will only show on com port debug output.

# MAX ENTRIES
ment="60"

a limit of 60 MAX ENTRIES has been set at the top of the epgfilter-add plugin script. only change this default setting if you know how to manage your dbox memory.

you will need to chmod 755 (make executable) all files except the *.cfg files

Nice idea, LraiZer! Can you add a blocker- "Sorry, the bus is full with 60 passengers! One or more passengers must get off, before any more can board" ?

Otherwise they'll be loading a 100+ Channel filter in no time at all, LOL! And it was after all your goodself that recently alerted us to the dire consequences of this scenario, with regards to free RAM, wasn't it?

Hence Channels 1-80 Mode soon to be chopped to 1-60, and similar for the filter...

Recent hectic testing of Freddy's latest sectionsd incarnation suggests that a reboot isn't necessary, at least not in C11.3 m8. Just go into the blue button Set My EPG Preferences Menu - and restart existing, or select another one, and the filter is re-read into memory with a sectionsd kill / start.

Cheers- AL

should be do-able, i will add a check for this and re-upload.
will add an option to top of epgfilter-add plugin script so that it can be changed without too much effort.

# MAX ENTRIES
ment="60"

[EDIT]
have re-uploaded file with the extra MAX ENTRIES option in epgfilter-add plugin script @ PaphosAL's request

Cool, thanks! And we'll add the required blank end line in the default filter file in future releases and upgrades, LOL!

I'll get a chance to look at this in the next couple hours and have a play! Cheers- AL
