CiefpE2Converter is an Enigma2 plugin designed to convert M3U playlists into IPTV bouquets that can be used on Enigma2 devices.
Allows users to easily select groups or individual channels from M3U files, define the name of the bouquet and choose the desired service type
(eg Gstreamer, Exteplayer3, Streamlink).
The plugin generates the appropriate "userbouquet" files and registers them in bouquets.tv for immediate use.
News in version 1.7:
Support for M3U links in playlist.txt format:
The plugin now supports loading M3U links from text files (playlist.txt).
Users can select a link from the list, which is automatically downloaded and parsed for further processing.
New selection screen (ChannelSelectionScreen):
Added a new channel selection screen when the M3U file does not contain groups.
This screen allows users to select individual channels or groups of series,
with automatic grouping of series episodes under one name (eg "The X Files" instead of "The X Files S01 E01").
New "Select Similar" button:
Implemented new "Select Similar" button on GroupSelectionScreen and ChannelSelectionScreen.
Function: Automatically selects all items (groups or channels) that share a common prefix with the currently marked item. For example:
For the group "Sport TV 1" selects all groups starting with "Sport TV" (eg "Sport TV 2", "Sport TV HD").
For the channel "HBO HD" selects all channels starting with "HBO" (eg "HBO 2", "HBO 3").
This makes it easy to quickly select similar items without having to manually tag each item individually.
Other characteristics:
Intuitive interface with the ability to view files in the /tmp directory.
Adjusting the name of the bouquet via the virtual keyboard.
Support for different service types (Gstreamer, Exteplayer3, DVB, Radio, Streamlink).
Automatic registration of bouquets and option to reload settings after conversion.
This plugin is ideal for users who want to quickly and efficiently organize their IPTV content on the Enigma2 platform,
with additional flexibility thanks to new functionalities in version 1.7.
