[ABM-MISC] Cable and FTA Sky UK CustomMix

[dsayers]

With ABM finding a solution for 1 to 4 HD swaps on Sat I still need to find a solution at the moment I can only insert BBC 2 HD and channel 4 HD as they are forced to 802 and 804.

I can't insert bbc1 HD and ITV HD due to them having different numbers on different regions once I find a solution I'll update custommix.

This custom mix seems not to be working again.
I updated vix 5.1.026 deleted the custom mix plugin. Reinstalled it and set it to " Sky UK free to air into virgin media UK".
Fetched files, saved the setup and resacanned ABM but can't see and SKY FTA channels in the bouquet.

@Huevos how could I solve 1 to 5 HD imports from sat to cable with different regions using different numbers?

From what I can understand is we can't use hacks for different providers in custommix i.e. hacks for Sky UK in cable UK custommix.

I'm not sure how I can use imports for different regions.

Only other alternatives I've seen is creating custommix files for all regions or create my own Sky UK providers file with it's own name so it isn't overwritten on software updates.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I see stv HD channel hack has been added to the providers file so all that would need adding is a hack for BBC 1 HD

https://github.com/davesayers2014/A...uquetsMaker/providers/sat_282_sky_uk.xml#L472

I think that would then cover all issues?

Original pr request I made for 1 to 4 HD https://github.com/oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker/pull/77

The whole service dict is available so you can do it.

e.g. BBC Two HD something like this:

target = 102 # your VM target
if "sat_282_sky_uk" in services:
	for service in sorted(services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"].keys()):
		if services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"][service]["channel_id"] == 2075:
			customised["video"][target] = services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"][service]
			break

Right now we are working on being able to add swaps conditionally. That way we will be able to get rid of the need to move the channels around to set numbers.

That won't help him as he needs a fixed list to import from

That kind of works, so would this work for regional channels ie STV or ITV HD on 113 or BBC 1 HD on 108 depending on the region same for NI thanks.

Is 115 only used for BBC 1 HD on certain regions with other regions not having anything on 115? If so with the current providers setup forcing BBC 2 HD to 802 I should be able to insert 801 and 115 to 108 providing that there isnt another channel on 115 if BBC 1 HD is on 801.

<insert target="108" source="115" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC One HD -->
<insert target="108" source="801" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC One HD -->
<insert target="113" source="803" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- ITV HD -->
<insert target="141" source="804" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- Channel 4 HD -->
<insert target="162" source="802" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC Two HD -->

Temporally added these imports if users would like to test fetch file and rescan ABM let me know if it causes issues thanks.

That isn't going to work after latest changes, I'll have to pull those imports.

 

[Huevos]

So it is just 1 to 5 that need sorting out, right? Post the latest file and I will try to sort it out.

 

[dsayers]

I think just 1 to 4 channel 5 HD should be on 805 for all regions

Targets are the following but I can adjust when I have something to edit thanks

108 = BBC 1 HD
113 = ITV HD
141 = Channel 4 HD
162 = BBC 2 HD

That seems to work thanks.

I assume this works with both ABM 2.9 and 3.0 as Ive only tested on 3.0.

Yes, version shouldn't make a difference. Now you don't have to worry about the numbers at all.

With version 3.0 all Sky UK regions have their channels in the correct places.

Have a look at the closed issues on GitHub there is a few issues with STV on Scottish West and East Midlands ITV channel swaps. https://github.com/oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker/issues/75
