Tvheadend - export bouquet [ Partially SOLVED ]

1st Official Post

    I have a channel list built up manually consisting of various inputs such as DVB-T, & DVB-S etc., in the order I want them to appear in Kodi.

    I would like to export this list in E2 bouquet format, so that it can be saved for future use (new set up; rebuild etc)

    I cannot seem to find a method to do this seemingly simple job.

    Is there a means to do this?

    Maybe I am missing something simple?

    I think I have eventually found a method ..... although it is not yet giving me all the channels for some reason.

    To begin with I can get the info in this form

    Code
    BBC Parliament:number:272:1_0_1_2843_7FE_2_11A0000_0_0_0

    by using this output from tvheadend

    Code
    <IP_Addy>:9981/api/channel/grid

    With a bit of tidying up and re-arranging it should be possible to generate a bouquet.tv from the information.

    Isn't always the case that after searching for days I finally found useful info immediately after I asked the question :)

    I got the basic info from here

    Grab tvheadend data by json use. · Issue #88 · primaeval/script.tvguide.fullscreen · GitHub

    The least complicated method I have found so far is the following

    Code
    curl http://192.168.1.115:9981/api/channel/grid? | sed 's|,|\n|g' | grep '"name"\|"number"\|"icon"' | sed 's|.png"|\n|g'

    which produces output in the following form

    Code
    "name":"ITV4"
"number":28
"icon":"picon://1_0_1_2758_7FC_2_11A0000_0_0_0

    but only for 50 channels.

    Any idea what I could replace      

    /api/channel/grid?

    with to get the full list of channels?

    A small bit of tidying up of that output would produce a suitable file ....... if all the channels were present.

    I forgot about this thread and should have updated it with this info:

    Although my Satellite channels all work well using this scheme, I have failed to create a bouquet for, or including, working DVB-T channels.

    The entries are there but are not recognised by tvheadend as valid entries, so they are not mapped.

    It was not a bother for me as I have few DVB-T channels and they don't vary, so a manual set up of the DVB-T channels is fine for me.

    It would be good to know if this scheme could be adapted to get valid DVB-T entries for the generate Bouquet.
