[ABM-DVB-C] Suggest Custom Regions for Virgin UK

[dsayers]

Hi ive been working on a custom region for Virgin UK to remove Sky Sports HD channels and think ive manged to work it out via providers file. This way users would have the option to have ABM remove them or not by using your area Virgin UK.

Attached is cable_uk_virgin.xml I have only added 41053 Leeds Custom and have added blacklist for Sky Sports Main Event for testing.

This is what I have done:

Line 97 added

<configuration key="hdcustom_41053_dvbc_uk" netid="41053" bouquettype="hd" frequency="666750" symbol_rate="6952000" system="0" modulation="3">41053 Leeds Custom</configuration>

Line 165 added

custom = True if "custom" in bouquet_key else False

Line 176 added

blacklistSport = ['SkySports MainEventHD',]
#Channel names have quotes, channel numbers do not. Example: ['ITV HD', 250, 500]

This is where we add all the Sky Sports HD channels and maybe more in the future


Line 207 added

if custom and service["service_type"] != 2 and (service["number"] in blacklistSport or service["service_name"] in blacklistSport):
	skip = True

This means only the channels in blacklistSport will be removed if we choose custom region.

I still need to add the rest of the Sky Sports HD channels and other regions but this seems to work maybe something similar can be added to ABM as we are still not sure what areas are effected users have the option to remove or not.

This will be worked on with a view to removing unless people say they want them.

Maybe add a switch to the provider menu to use/not use the custom mix file would be a simpler solution, then remove the channels with the custom mix file.

 

[abu baniaz]

Custom mix files are not part of ABM for this provider.

If all areas no longer have these, might as well as get rid of channels


Best option is something we've wanted to do for a long time, read options from provider file instead of py files. Create an option for unofficial changes which will invoke these changes. We can then remove the custom regions from sky too.

You'll be best using CustomMix to remove them until ABM update config files http://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...mMix-to-remove-Sky-Sports-HD-and-swap-with-SD
