thanks for the reply..... its still open!

 

[jimmyjoe]

sorry to be a pain... but would the following be possible?

TV3 appears in channel list for SKY ROI, but not SKY NI, i would like to have it included in the scan, can i edit the xml to do this? In addition i would like to place it at channel 163 (currently TG4) i would move TG4 to 164 (currently challenge +1) and i would look to delete challenge +1 completely

Sorry but this is not currently possible with ABM. This is decided by the region flag in the channel listing stream and only one stream can be selected in ABM per provider.

thanks for reply

That's a great help. Thanks a lot for your time on this. I've noticed that ESPN HD & Boxnation HD should still be listed but don't seem to be.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Yeah I can confirm ESPN HD and Boxnation HD are still viewable, can you add these back on please?

 

[zoomzoomluke]

Just edit the whitelist line, eg:

# zoomzoomluke 01/08/2014 ################
# a black and whitelist to allow you to keep or automatically delete a channel from the list based 
# on it's channel number or name enclosed in double quotes. if using channel swaps, its a good idea 
# to put both channel numbers in.
#
# make your changes in the two lines below
#
##########################################
whitelist = [178,426,427,"Sky News HD","Film4 HD","RTE TWO HD","ESPN HD","BoxNation HD"]
blacklist = [950,998,999]
##########################################

But this time I have made the changes for you. Please download the latest file here:

Thanks, ur a star!! What do we use to edit the file? I would be using a windows pc to do this.

Thanks very muchly. :thumbsup:

 

[zoomzoomluke]

On a Windows PC best thing would be a decent text editor. Notepad++ does a decent enough job but there are any many others. Don't use windows built in notepad though as it's likely to cause issues.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

I do have a Mac as well, is that better?

 

[zoomzoomluke]

On a Mac the built in editor (TextEdit) works fine, personally I use Sublime Text as it has good syntax highlighting.



Another option is TextMate which works really well too. It's all down to personal preference I guess.

For those who want to completely nuke the adult/gaming&dating in channels, numbers below. I've left 950,988 and 999 in there. Hiding sections still leaves the channels in the all channels area, so this is a better way.

thanks zoom zoom excellent work just what i needed :thumbsup:

Nice work Luke. Good to have an XML that works with current SKY UK line-up for HD channels still available on an E2 box.
Using the xml in the first post (currently dated as 'sat_sky_uk_zzl_010_02082014.zip') I'm not getting any BBC Interactive or SKY Sports Interactive channels populated though. Anyone else notice this?

 

[abu baniaz]

The BBC interactive is owing to the BBC red button shuffle we tried. I'll try later with just Lraizer's suggested method instaed of the shuffle I made. We can live with two Other bouquets.


Just in case it helps track Sky interactive issue, it is probably this line at play.

elif service["service_type"] >= 17 and service["free_ca"] != 0:

The Sports Active are types 82 and 85.

Would this be the fix?

elif service["service_type"] >= 17 and service["service_type"] < 82 and service["free_ca"] != 0:

Well spotted. I've got the fix implemented - was a bit of lazy scripting on my part and forgot service type 133 is interactive.

I'll take a look at BBC RB later.

Attached is V011

EDIT( Abu Baniaz): Post 1 edited to include V11.

 

[zoomzoomluke]

Release 012
This is a testing release, if you are looking for stable use release 011.

added: bbci additional stream mapping to bbc interactive section. bbci streams renumbered and appended to any true bbc red button channels (channel 981 onwards).

so its a bit hacky but it seems to work ok. as there are no channels in the 980+ range at the moment it's hard to test 100% but when moving the base channel the appending worked ok.

I have tried to cut out as much as possible to prevent the script taking too long.

Please test this release and let me know any issues, again please forgive the hacky scripting - i'll tidy up later
