[GiGaBlue UHD QUAD 4K] Strange Tuner Settings Entries and Tuner B Crashes

[goo]

I have just flashed openvix 6.1.004 into slot 3 and everything set up (from scratch) ok.
Then updated openvix 6.1.003 to 004 in slot 1 and that seems ok now.

I changed the terrestrial.xml file I found from

<terrestrial name="Pontop Pike (Europe DVB-T/T2)" flags="5" countrycode="GBR">

but couldn't find the ABM.xml file.

It looks like the online terrestrial.xml has just been changed to something similar (CH45 and CH55 are both T2).


I have had to do manual scans on other equipment because I pick up a weak Bilsdale channels.

How do I attach a zip file?

Pontop Pike...

Pretty sure ukfree.tv have the Local mux on an old channel that's no longer in use.

You'll find it here:
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/terrestrial_uk_freeview.xml

But I expect @abu has probably updated it, so will be in a future release.

If you want to attach a file, select "Go Advanced", then Manage Attachments. This will provide you with a file picker to allow you attach from your PC.

abu asked for 3 files.

Many thanks. Please update provider files within ABM, then run ABM for the official ABM Freeview provider and check it is ok.

@Fat_Tony
People can update provider files in ABM, and it will fetch latest version from GitHub. They don't have to wait for a Release.

Understand - but they will get updates on a new release if they don't manually update the provider files themselves, beforehand?

When an image build is run, ABM is rebuilt if there are changes to it. A software update will update all installed packages including ABM. So, answer to your question is yes.
If there is an ABM commit after a build is started, that image won't have the update (machines already built). So answer to your question is no. The machines still building will have the update.

We added the provider file update function so people do not have to wait for an image build. The misunderstanding of how ABM works leads some people to change "builds", as found on other forums, so that ABM updates provider files before it runs. Furthermore, they even make ABM run on startup. I don't think there is any value in this. Astra 28.2 changes are usually Tuesday/Thursday. UK terrestrial is not that frequent. The update provider file before running is a real pain when we change ABM versions because ABM won't run unless it updates.

Sorry for digressing. Still waiting for answer whether the OP installed a channel list.

Sorry for the delay.
Updated ABM provider files and ran with just Freesat (NE&C) and Freeview (Pontop Pike).
No errors were flagged. and 733 Freeview channels were found.
So seems good.

About 150 Freeview Channels not 733.
I thought they had been renumbered, and was looking at the last channel number.
