Request CrossEPG 0.8.3

Is it possible to make the latest version of CrossEPG 0.8.3 available on the feed? I've done a similar post in the Solo2 images section outlining what's coming up for Rytec but this version fixes the bug where the sources don't update. I tried to install with .ipk but I get the message saying 0.8.1 is the latest version available.

??? If you update your image by the online updates, you'll have the plugins updated as well.
What image are you using?

Where did you get information about CrossEPG 0.8.3 working and update sources ?
Did you test yourself?

I found it on another forum. I can't remember where but I searched on Google about the sources not updating. The version dates from 14/07/2017.
I've not been able to. I have the .ipk but the feeds version of CrossEPG 0.8.1 is the latest apparently so refuses to install.

I'm running BH 3.0.2.

Discussion without end

There is no CrossEPG version that works with new files from the Rytec server.
CrosssEPG does not support xz file compresion .

You can find links to the servers that are currently working for gz files on the forum.

This

XMLTV providers for CrossEPG They are still working,
provider list have to be uploaded manually .
to
/usr/crossepg/providers

These are links to gz packaged files but not for xz (CrosssEPG does not support xz)
How Long Will It Work I Do not Know

I found it here:https://linuxsat-support.com/index.php?thread/70368-download-crossepg/ - it's at the bottom of the page in its release notes.

For your info read this.
There is no new version.

pls. add xz - lmza support to the importer.
OpenPLi has currently added it. Still in testing phase.
But it is the intent to supply the EPG data in compressed xz files.

Contact me on OpenPLi for the location of testfiles

doglover3920 is from Rytec team EPG Servers.

https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-CrossEPG/issues/44

and this
CrossEPG is not been updated for a couple of years

https://github.com/oe-alliance/e2openplugin-CrossEPG

and this

Only update is this
Change in version name
https://github.com/oe-alliance/e2openplugin-CrossEPG/commit/9321c35ae848d5c635f0a0d50bb8bb6bf17f20a7

So I think that now should be clear where is the problem.

I'm aware doglover is from Rytec. He;'s announced on the OpenPLI forum that the gz files will end on the 30th September.

Thanks for the providers. I will manually update the list. I was aware from the forum link I sent that the latest CrossEPG has the right URL to download the list manually.

Do you know of a xz compressor that works with BH? I can probably modify the scripts so they work with xz files if I can install the right tool.

doglover has also created a new set of providers that are gz which are subsets of what you gave me - this is what 0.8.3 fixes.

It's split each country into three separate packages: basic, premium and sports/movies. The URL to grab providers has been updated on GitHub I believe.

new set of providers ?? , Not for CrossEPG but for Epgimport plugin.
You may also use them in CrossEPG
I did not test, but it is not interesting either.

It's interesting to have a plugin that can use XZ files
And this can only be xmltvimport.

As far as I know the problem with CrossEPG is that it is not all open source and python
And then it will be difficult to modify .

You can test xmltvimport with Open Black Hole image
I've put files on the forum.
For Extracting XZ files you need python-lzma

The problem with BH is that he has his own epg system
Which is now not competive with xmltvimport.
xmltvimport working on BH image but after restart You lose epg.
But maybe it will be soon when our coders come back from vacation.

Thanks for this! I hope it can work with BH as CrossEPG isn't as useful as it was anymore.

Considering the time frame given by doglover in another forum post here, could 0.8.3 be put on the feeds? 01/10 is when the current sources stop working.
Is it possible to test this?

I have tested and there are no sources.
So the version has nothing to do with new sources.

Where did you see the version running with new sources, this is unknown to me.

You can unpack ipk file and manualy upload that version into the box
But you will not get any sources.

So forget CrossEPG if the author does not modify it.

Thanks. I got it from the release notes. I will ask doglover for the sources file to update properly the source list.

I have tried to manually install but with no luck.
