Getting Cross EPG to work in E2 images

[aftermath]

now we can have an 8 day EPG in E2 images, also in DGS based images using CrossEPG.

download this file and FTP it to tmp folder .... http://www.crossepg.com/downloads/crossepg/109-crossepg-enigma20-3-2-svn-33sh4/download.html

open putty or other telnet programme

login and at the curser put

cd /tmp

next line put

ipkg install crossepg-enigma2_0.3.2-svn-33_sh4.ipk

i had to do that twice for some reason for it to install

reboot GUI

then FTP to the file /etc/init.d/rcS ...right click and choose edit

and before the line

/usr/local/bin/enigma2

add this line

/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh

Example:

echo "starting e2->"
/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh
/usr/local/bin/enigma2


reboot gui again


now on menu button on remote go to setup, you will see new option " crossepg"

set up which sats you want in your EPG and other settings

now run crossepg programme in plugins

I have updated my image to AAF summerdream 2.0 based on Tideglo 0.5.5.
The image is pretty good, better than the previous version I think. On that version 0.5.0, CrossEPG was working good providing you were sticking to the default skin.
On the one, 0.5.5, the pluggin installs OK and you can configure the settings etc fine. But the GUI crashes when you run it, every time for me even with the default skin ON. It goes through dowloading the titles and summaries, parses the titles OK but crashes at different stages when parsing the summaries. GUI just reboots.
Note that with the new tideglo version, you do not need the fix for crossepg to sync correctly:
Enigma2 installation (ipbox cuberevo)

with a unix compatible editor edit the file /etc/init.d/rcS and before the line

/usr/local/bin/enigma2

add this line

/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh

Example:

echo "starting e2->"
/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh
/usr/local/bin/enigma2

Has anybody got this going with the newer image?

If you hang about for a few more days , the new PKT image will be out and this will already have Crossepg in it.

[Palinkat]

Cheers,

Was hoping to keep that image for another while and try to fix the issue.

I figured out what to do with the crash.
When you run crossepg for the first time, do not select any satellite from the crossepg setup menu and run it once. I am assuming it creates empty dbs.
Then select the sat you need and run it again. It runs perfectly through, restart the GUI and the EPG is synched!

E2 0.7.5 ipkg & CrossEPG
this is a patch for latest E2 images to get crossepg to work on Python 2.6

ipkg:

FTP the ipkg file to temp
then in Telnet run following commands
* cd /tmp
* tar -xvzf ipkg_var.tgz -C/

CrossEPG

do same with crossepg file as ipkg file


* cd /tmp
* ipkg install crossepg-enigma2_0.3.3-svn-33_sh4.ipk

Have crossepg installed & now getting the following error any ideas what i can do ( sifteam-e2-ee-beta5b-cuberevo-usb.tar image installed ) :

Some scripts not available, system plugins/crossepg/bad magic number in :

usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/system plugings/crossepg/-init-.pyc


Also looked for below but nothing in that file matches:
with a unix compatible editor edit the file /etc/init.d/rcS and before the line

/usr/local/bin/enigma2

add this line

/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh

Also looked for below but nothing in that file matches:

Bad magic number means that the Plug-in you installed isn't compatble with th Python version.

They have changed to Python 2.6 since 0.7.5, all versions before are in 2.5.

Hi, I have the same problem with e2 PKT 7.5.1. : system plugins/crossepg/bad magic number in :usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/system plugings/crossepg/-init-.pyc , any idea?

[freck]

Are PKT images the only images with the cross epg plugin pre installed.
Finally getting my ip9000hd tomorrow so I'll be on for some fun and games.If I can get cross epg up an running ok I'll be one happy camper.The epg is the only thing that pisses me off with my current setup.....barely now and next.

doh...question answered in aftermaths first post...sorry.

[aftermath]

any image can have Crossepg, if you go on CrossEPG (http://www.crossepg.com) web site , they give explanations on how to install either to DGS based image or E2 image.
Personnaly i think it looks better on E2 images, it looks a bit basic on DGS based images..

1 word of warning though , some DGS based images dont leave much memory space after the image, and if you install cross epg and fill it up your box will go into panic,,.. NLB 11102 should be fine , ive had it running on that..

[freck]

i'll probably be on here tommorrow with lots of questions re ipbox 9000 so i'll keep quiet till then.
Need some info on incubus aswell so hopefully ill have the box tomorrow for a little play around.

i must add this, the latest version of PKT E2 ( 8.9.1 ) seems to crash during the EPG scan, Just wait a long time as it is still working, ( maybe 30 mins ).

another way to do it is :-

and a big thanks to Jahu from SU

just download the sky.epg file from http://hqsatellite.com/satmate/skyuk_epg.dat.gz, unzip it, rename it to ext.epg.dat and copy to crossepg folder. Then i go to the Crossepg menu, extra, then just select "Load Data".

My crossepg.conf looks like this:

db_root=hdd/crossepg/ or could be media/usb/crossepg ( for usb stick users )
lamedb=lamedb
otv_provider=skyuk_astra2_28.2|skyuk_astra2_28.4
auto_boot=0
auto_daily=0
auto_daily_hours=4
auto_daily_minutes=0
auto_tune=0
auto_tune_osd=0
auto_daily_reboot=0
manual_reboot=1
enable_importer=0
show_plugin=1
show_extension=1

this crossepg is for sh4 boxes , cuberevo`s ..
you will need the crossepg thats compatible with your DM800 ( try search on here or google it )

[aftermath]

Here is a step by step guide to install the crossepg to the latest PKT E2 images ( Tideglo 0.9.8 or above ) Thanks to Jimgb17 from Denk.

Download the new CrossEpg from below.

Unzip and FTP the 2 files to /tmp

then go into the pkt blue button menu

then Addons

then Packages Install

then ipk menu.

then install ipk

restart GUI.

then Menu/Setup/Crossepg and set up what you want to scan for EPG e.t.c

Example , have a favorites folder setup with all sky UK channels in it

Then press red button on remote, then choose crossepg downloader.

it should now start scanning for 8 day EPG

-------------------------

If your having problems get it to work try these.

1. add this line
/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh
into line #147 of /etc/init.d/rcS (This is for PKT 0.9)

Here is a Example:...

/bin/cubefpctl --setledoff
cp /tmp/reference.dat /var/bin
echo "starting e2->"
/var/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh <------- !!!!!!!! Here!
/usr/local/bin/enigma2
...

Now reboot and setup your cross epg..
you should now have full epg..

or here is a script below , set up for S*Y UK EPG, you will have to edit for another satellite.

[sorinpopa]

Any updates?

[sorinpopa]

Doesn't install on my E2...
Says:

Clearing state_want...
Nothing to be done
An error occurred, return value 4:
Collected errors:
Cannot find package enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-crossepg.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

And then it removes the ipk from tmp...

Any ideas?

[sorinpopa]

Thanks! That was helpful.
