[E² Plugin] X-Streamity - Xtream Codes IPTV Player

Lets try a totally different approach.
Dependencies are now (or should be) installed on first run of the plugin if needed, based on whether python 2.7 or python 3.
Expect a minor delay on first run if missing something.

Whats new pussycat... (not a lot really apart from a restructuring of the screens)
New layout of screens.
As this plugin is now in a lot of feeds it needs to be user friendly as possible.
So the button choices are simplified and screens have been moved to more relevant places and not hidden away. (which will confuse existing users at first)
Edit playlist is gone. Replaced with Playlist settings on the playlist choice screen (live, vod, series, catchup)
The update button on this page updates the catchup channel list categories. (As its slow to load this list every time you open the plugin)
Adding a playlist via the plugin you now need to enter a short name for your playlist.
If manually adding playlists via playlists.txt file. You can now suffix it with a [space][hash][name] to use as the short name.
i.e

Code:

http://xteam.xyz:80/get.php?username=user&password=password&type=m3u&output=ts #X Team

New header for downloads that might help fix some epgs not downloading. My old one was too precise.
If bouquet markers are tagged by a different stream type I now default these to ** makername **, so to remove all the crap that some providers but in there. Bars, windings etc. Not all providers set a different stream type for bouquet markers though, so they will not be changed.
Better python 3 handling
Toys (toy story) skin now included in the IPK as default
General code tidy up and tweaks.
There has been some text amends and new text, so the guys that have provided language files might need to update them.
There is up to date po files in the english folder.

Fixed spelling error in a few skin places - didn't really effect anything
Added some extra json checks to some files to help eliminate any rogue xstream data.
Simplified depenancy checks
Fixed a crash if you try and save a settings page if no amends have been made
Added future-requests module to enable concurrent file downloads - coupled with multiprocessor should mean that anyone with lots of multiple providers should see a vast speed improvement on loading that provider menu page (Experimental)
Added in a hack to allow https:// urls to be used. (just for Full EPG at the moment) (Experimental)
Do note - I have been experimenting with adding/removing/updating various python libraries, so hopefully the https epg hack works for you too and not just my setup.

Had to refactor all my code into simpler files to make my life easier - although that was a bit of a nightmare - but will be good going forward.
The HTTPS hack is back - HTTPS urls for EPG, picons, cover art, APIs should all now work if your image has a pretty recent twisted module. (Blackhole currently doesn't but the guys are working on it)
Fixed all previously mentioned errors in the last release - catchup - dependancies etc etc
Tweaked series cover art. That should be better now.
Full EPG is still very slow to scroll through pages if you have a massive provider. My next mission is to try a fix full EPG as the current method is crap for large providers. Works great for small providers. Stick to Quick EPG if your provider is large or slow.
Fixed a crash caused by empty VOD cover art.

Sort and Filter is remembered as moving forward and then back between the screens.
Series now downloads all the information from The Movie Database if that option turned on in Main Settings. - Use Movie Database(TMDB) for VOD
(experimental - but tested with only 2 providers and works mint)
Should really change that text to VOD and Series now
General tweaks I have spotted as I have been looking through the code over and over again for the last week.
