Anyone knows how to put EPG directly on VLC from a dreambox url?
For example TF1, I want to have his program directly on VLC, not from a webinterface.

This is not impossible, in my opinion. And it must be simple too, thanks to Enigma 2 command line options...

First Use wget (or curl) to transfer the epg info to a text file.

For example:

wget -q -O - "http://IP_of_your_box/web/epgservice?sRef=1:0:1:2206:44C:1:C00000:0:0:0:" >>epg.txt

Then use FINDSTR or curl to isolate the epg event and set a value that identifies the epg event included in the text file.
For example:

set /p EPG=<epg.txt

Finally, define the value of EPG as the subtitle of your VLC stream.

Code should look like:

%VLC% "your_stream" --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="%EPG%" --marq-size=30 --marq-position=10 --marq-timeout=30000 --fullscreen --aspect-ratio=16:9

where marquee is the epg info that VLC will display on the right corner of your screen for 30 seconds while playing the stream...

All this could be automitized with a batch program wink

curl "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/web/epgservice?sRef=1:0:1:1076:7E5:2:11A0000:0:0:0
" >>epg.txt

set /p EPG=<epg.txt

cd C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC

vlc.exe "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX:8001/1:0:1:1076:7E5:2:11A0000:0:0:0" --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="%EPG%" --marq-size=30 --marq-position=10 --marq-timeout=30000 --aspect-ratio=16:9

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The only thing that appears is
Quote
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

located on the top of the screen.

Maybe the key-point is when you say "Then use FINDSTR or curl to isolate the epg event and set a value that identifies the epg event included in the text file."

Any help please ?

Hi !

i followed your advices, but no luck !

i opened cmd.exe, than i wrote

Quote
curl "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/web/epgservice?sRef=1:0:1:1076:7E5:2:11A0000:0:0:0
" >>epg.txt

than this
Quote

set /p EPG=<epg.txt

after i entered vlc folder using this string

Quote
cd C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC

and finally lanched the stream using this one
Quote

vlc.exe "http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX:8001/1:0:1:1076:7E5:2:11A0000:0:0:0" --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="%EPG%" --marq-size=30 --marq-position=10 --marq-timeout=30000 --aspect-ratio=16:9

Using this procedure, the stream starts but no epg info on the screen !

The only thing that appears is

located on the top of the screen.

Hello! As promised, I tested the script on my pc. Here is the code to insert after the wget passage (and after putting cut.exe in your script folder):

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

Code
type epg.txt | FINDSTR "e2eventtitle" >>epg2.txt
type epg2.txt | cut -d "<" -f 2 >>epg3.txt
type epg3.txt | cut -d ">" -f 2 >>epg4.txt
powershell -command "& {get-content epg4.txt -totalcount 1}" >>epg5.txt
set /p EPG=<epg5.txt
call %VLCA% --sub-filter marq --marq-marquee="%EPG%" --marq-size=30 --marq-position=10 --marq-timeout=30000 --fullscreen --aspect-ratio=16:9 "your_stream"
del epg*.txt
exit

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

This will desplay the title of the current Enigma 2 event on VLC for 30 seconds.

You can even choose to display the event description or the next event, by modifying defstr and cut parameters as you like.

Hi, thanks for the info!

Unfortunately i don't know where to download wget.exe, cut.exe and stuff like these.
Any advice where to look at ? Is there any website that has a package containing these exes?

when you wrote that code am i supposed to create a batch file with that code you posted ?

Sorry but i'm not an expert as you are ! Any help please ? (consider that i have windows vista )
