Here is my custom XML...

Features:

blacklist - always remove these channels from channel list
whitelist - do not auto delete
auto delete - removes all HD channels that are not on the whitelist and are not FTA
channel swap - most common FTA HD channels are swapped.

To use:
The xml is included in the latest images. In ABM, Select Sky UK (SD) as the provider.

For instances of changes between images, you can manually transfer the file.
Extract xml and transfer to following location on receiver.
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/
In your providers, select Sky ZZL
Select if you want to channel swap


Advantages of this xml
Easy to add new channels to whitelist or blacklist (just edit these lines):
Code:
# a black and whitelist to allow you to keep or automatically delete a channel from the list based on it's name
whitelist=['ITV HD','Sky News HD']
blacklist=[]
you do not need to keep track of swap lists. this will automatically pick up non FTA HD channels and remove them entirely.

Excellent work. Unavailable HD channels gone completely and does not alter the numbering. Rep added.

I have moved posts to its own thread and made it a sticky.

Please consider the following modification for BBC interactive channels on your next file.

Thanks for that.

Here is the update with the suggested changes.

Also blacklist and whitelist is now based on channel number to make it safer if channels change their name.

[STRIKE]How do we add Sky News HD and the two HD BT sports. I tried adding the following numbers in whitelist without any success.
516, 426, 427[/STRIKE]

Correction: Added those numbers to whitelist and works fine.

Hi,
Sounds like you have done a grand job. Where do I need to put this file and then what do I need to do? My region is already set to Sheffield SD?
Thanks very muchly. :thumbsup:

Just to add I hide some sections and also I don't generate all channels section, so in the movies section it starts with 301 etc.

Hi,

Quick question do I copy the file into etc/engima2?
 
extract the zip file and copy the xml file to your box to the following location:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

select Sky England ZZL from the list of providers

You can select your region just as before.

Hiding sections works just the same as before.
 
This is the dogs bolloxs mate. Excellent work. :thumbsup:
Can I just ask, would it be easy to swap my bbc1 with bbc1 hd, bbc2 with bbc 2 hd etc? As no swap option is given for my region, Sheffield HD?

Excellent work nonetheless. :D
 
Sheffield SD should be fine as it's enabled for swapping. There shouldn't be any HD sections. The channel swap option should then show and be set up for how you want.

(i'm sure you have, but ensure 'Configure -> Setup Mode -> Expert is enabled' :) )

Yean found the swap option, but got to generate main bouquet to get that and I personally don't like having an All Channels folder as the number sequence goes way off. Fair enough the numbers being correct in the all channels list but I prefer the correct numbering in the other folders.
It's no biggie, would have been nice but I love your channel list mate. Top Draw.

Thanks very muchly. :thumbsup:
 
Just noticed an error in the movie listing, Film 4 HD is not affected by the new sky pairing system, so I'm guessing you may have blacklisted this by accident?
 
Nothing is blacklisted by default. If there is a channel you want to keep just add the channel number to the whitelist.
 
Just some background info...
When ABM first started, all of 28.2 was one xml. There were people who wanted the ROI as well as UK channels, so these were split.
The simulcast HD channels necessitated a split of the 4 UK countries as swaps world work for one country but not another.

As your xml file just contains SD regions, we can include all UK countries and change England to UK in name. Have a look at the Judge's xml. You can copy and paste the regions as well as filter. I can't remember why I changed the prefix of key to start with hd, but there was a reason.

We should really do the ROI one too.
 
006 released - please do not use the other versions as there is a little bug that can cause the ABM plugin to crash

changed: can add channels to blacklist / whitelist using either channel number or service name "in double quotes"
added: blacklist channels 950, 998 and 999 to get rid of another unnecessary section
changed: log cleanup - view the ABM log to see what channels have been autodeleted, blacklisted or whitelisted
changed: fixed blacklist / whitelist bug which affects radio channels

blacklist / whitelist demo:
Code:
whitelist=[101,102,103,104,141,142,178,230,426,427,516,"Film4 HD"]
blacklist=[950,998,999]

I will work on a big cleanup of all xmls into one, removing unnessary SD and HD flags and create a UK version. I will also look at the ROI one too.

I'll get this done for the next release.
