[ABM-MISC] sat and cable custom mix updater plugin (BETA)

[dsayers]

Abm seems to bring back the bbc Olympics channels for cable

But does it cure your problem? I use my own custommix (that I shared with you a while ago) and don't have any problem

 

[dsayers]

Sorry for the late reply I work nights. Sadly no that doesn't solve the issue as I said if using the hacks for channel numbers on epg it's fine but without 303 shows the name as bbc Olympics 7 hd even though the epg and picture is correct.

Same goes for 113 shows bbc Olympics 6 hd but the epg and picture is correct. If I look through vm all channels it shows as sky hits how would I add the Olympic channels to the blacklist in the cable providers file to see if that solves it.

This custommix was working fine until reported a couple of weeks ago by various other users

The only way to sort this is to clear the info from the lamedb, you can either fresh flash, or do a manual network scan and choose clear before scan, after scan the offending channels will have the correct name.

That solved it thanks for others having this issue please try this:

menu, setup, service searching, automatic scan make sure network scan, clear before scan and scan both tuners are yes then green to scan this will take a while once completed start scan in autobouqetesmarker the Olympics channel names in 113 and 303 should be sorted

Scanning on two tuners of same type is a waste of time. Channel data is not tuner specific, just use one.

As mentioned in the other threads, ABM does not update names once a service is in lamedb. Instead of scanning the whole range, zap to the channel, perform a manual scan, selecting the "clear before scan" option.

Alternatively remove all channel data by script. Shame we do not have that option at in the GUI.

Hi I use your plug in and mix file. Slightly of topic. What configuration do you use for your epg. I can't get a full 6-7 day epg. I use cross epg. Set for sky and vm

It is off topic, you would have been better creating your own post or looking at more suitable ones to suit your needs. Using CrossEPG with OpenTV (Sky) will only give you the 7 days for sky. For Cable you will need to look at Rytec probably for your 7 day epg.

Hi Pal, I have done a fresh install today with no settings restore. I have followed the steps above but in ABM providers order I am not seeing the custom xml as an option. Please can you advise?

 

[dsayers]

You won't see custom.xml in providers the custommix updater plugin should be in plugins run that then abm

No mate not in plugin list, but when I go to remove plugins I can see custom updater

Ahh sorry I forgot I changed it to download on boot if the box rebooted after installing run abm and check 106 sky1 hd it should be vm if not reboot box.

The reason for changing to download on boot is so you can set a power timer to shutdown the box weekly or daily and when you boot up the box it will re download the custommix file I wanted an automated process

Hi mate, it has changed some for the HD versions but really only for sky sports/movies not for music, kids etc

 

[dsayers]

It should have done are you definitely using hd in providers not custom or sd? If it's still the same can you give me a list of channels and there channel numbers.

You can see what swaps should be happening here

Also vm doesn't have some of the hd channels that sky do so ive swapped them for there sd equivalent

 

[duoduo]

Yes definitely using granada HD, the only music channel in HD is Mtv live HD, all rest are SD. I have looked at the swap list and doesn't show all music channels with HD swapped but I convinced that they were mostly HD before? Not getting NICK Jnr HD, or disney channel HD, or sky Atlantic HD, in fact no kids channels are HD apart from ftv ones and nick HD.

Also no sky sports Ireland 1-5
