2Boom’s m3u/bouquet converter
I just try this plugin, and it worked for me, I’ts very easy to use, just put your m3u list in /tmp, then open the plugin and convert the list, you will find a new bouquet in the channel list .
a small plug-in for quick conversion playlists in m3u bouquet for enigma2
The following options are supported for conversion:
Livestreamer / hls
Livestreamer / hlsvariant
Gstreamer
Multicast

The plugin can be installed manually thru /tmp folder
Download

After that may I change the order of the channels?
And (very important) they will work autoupdating themselves or do I need to restart this process everyday?

Note:
for now I use the IPTV top bouquet generated by the "wget -0 "http...enigma22_script&type=mpegts" followed by the iptv.sh
And:
it works, but, I cannot change the order of the channels and I cannot make a copy of the channel in other bouquets because they will not work.

How can I solve this problem?
I would like to change the order and put my preferred channels at the top.

Thank you

Just use E2 channels Edit, by importing the channels list from the box and upload it again after the changes

Hi there,

I am trying out the service.

I want to get the IPTV channels list into my Enigma2 box so that I can use a full EPG and schedule recordings. However I cannot get either method described abogve to work:

1. IPTV generator and DreamboxEdit - produces a blank list on Enigma2 with no channels in it
2. 2Boom’s m3u/bouquet converter - I can install the plugin on my STB but it does not recognise the M3U file (with any of the conversion options)

Please advise

ps - the attached is what the new bouquet looks like in Dreamboxedit for me. No channels listed:

OK eventually got 2Boom’s m3u/bouquet converter to work, although it produces malformed links to the streams. They have to be fixed manually in a text editor.

Now n eed to try and get the EPG to populate

OK, Ive now got a channel appearing in the channel list on my openvix enigma2 STB, populated with the correct EPG data from the in-biult Rytek EPG sources. Good! But unfirtunately, the enigma2 OS crashes when I try to schedule a recording. I've asked for help understanding the logs on that.

So there is hope, but it sure is going to take a lot of manual effort. I would essentially have to manually update every channel entry by hand.

I've worked around the crashing box.
Next problem is getting the streams to record reliably. So far I only get very short recordings. I suspect that the Enigma2 OS is used to steady bitrates. It may just be struggling with latency and out of order packets. Might need to switch to Kodi on a PC

Hey Thanks IPTV
Any update on EPG?
Strange thing is that the XC plugin DOES give EPG data but this method does not give any epg data...

Any solutions?
