Judge, have you run this on Vu duo box?

Yes I did as reported in this thread and it worked perfectly on builds 778 and 781.

So far mike and myself are seeing the issue when several sections hidden.
If any one else seeing this can they please post so we can get it resolved.
I know most people will have it set on a shedule prob mid morning and do not see issue.
I suggest people do a manual ABM scan

Thanks

my tests were without sections hidden so that may explain why you are seeing problems and i am not.

Have you tried with hidden? I usually hide all Ireland channels but sports

Hi

Any ideas on my problem, all working well except Setanta sports And setanta ireland not showing with the irish section, all other irish channels are there except those two, they always used to be there, now I go to favourites then last scanned to find them.

thanks in advance.

 

[judge]

Setanta Sports & Setanta Ireland showing up & working fine here, build 783, ABM scan just run now to check.

 

[Larry-G]

no issue here with setanta sports or setanta ireland but with sections hidden in ABM the scan time has been doubled for me on the TM-2T ( tested on build 785 )

with sections hidden my ABM scan ( sky uk, sky ireland and freesat ) took a total of 5 minutes 23 ( the generate bouquets part took over 3 minutes alone ).
without sections hidden for the same setup as above the scan took 2 minutes 19 ( the generate bouquets part took around 15 seconds ).

Hi Phoenix,

Glad to see you have confirmed the issue i am seeing. I know its not a big issue but hopefully Andy can look into this in the future

For SKY HD Northern Ireland as the provider, and "SWAP CHANNELS" set to "Yes" UTV HD appears in ABM HD Channels after Channel 4 (fifth in line up) and at Channel 178 for all channels.

Channel 103 is not swapped with Channel 178 i.e. UTV should be swapped with UTV HD in the channel line up, as with BBC's etc. in the "all channels"

I would appreciate it if you could fix this. Many thanks

Issue is not that it is not swapping, but it is swapping what does not need swapping. Hopefully this is right, by default 103 is the HD channel for NI. If you swap you will get the SD version. For the time being edit the skyie.xml file, delete the line that says <channel number="178" with="103" /> so that it reads the following in that section. I have also attached it.

<channel number="141" with="101" />
<channel number="142" with="102" />
<channel number="230" with="104" />
<channel number="171" with="105" />

178 will get you UTV SD, 103 will get you UTV HD

Lraizer's plugin has this anomally too. Users of that plugin can edit their custom_swap file and make a similar edit.

Not sure what 178 is meant to be for the Republic of Ireland. If it is nothing then the skyie attachment can be commited to the build. I have taken the liberty to remove the flters that are not applicable to this provider. I am also attaching the Sky UK one which has the filters in an ordered sequence should Andy feel it is appropriate.

cheers mate, i'll commit.

Thank you abu baniaz and andyblac. I believe I understand.

What I may not understand is that there are other Northern Ireland dependencies - BBC 1 NI HD + BBC 2 NI HD and other HD channles, but I think you are saying that once the "primary" skyie channel line up is the "HD" channels as default in skyie bouquet, then there is no need to "swap" in ABM?

It's just that I remember up until a little while ago that if "swap" was not selected, the the SD channles were at 101 and 102 in ABM.

Sorry - can't test right now but will provide feed back tomorrow.

Hi abu baniaz and andyblac - I have tested this and can confirm all working correctly, and the change was needed for the Northern Ireland HD bouquet:

With "Swap Channels" = YES - the channels 101 - 105 are HD as expected with ABM
With "Swap Channels" = NO - Only Channel 101 and 103 are HD. Channels 102 / 104 and 105 remain the SD varients for the NI HD ABM selection.

Thanks!

Auto Bouquet Maker Northern Ireland HD Bouquet

I sincerely apologise that my earlier report today was slightly wrong, I guess I had a little screen blindness - please see attached images and info on channel 101 HD for the Northern Ireland HD Bouquet. I am virtually positive before the change above that the only none HD channel in the ABM NI line-up with SWAP = Yes was UTV 103.


With "Swap Channels" = YES - the channels 102 - 105 are HD as expected with ABM BUT 101 - BBC1 is only SD now!



With "Swap Channels" = NO - Only Channel 101 and 103 are HD - BBC1 & UTV. Channels 102 / 104 and 105 remain the SD varients for the NI HD ABM selection.



Thank you!

 

[sigpark]

Some further info........

I image restored my VU+ Solo 2 to build 3.0.782 - Please note ABM is set to "SWAP" = Yes, and only 103 is not HD - this is before ViX code changes noted as released above



Next I ran the ABM scan (with "Swap" = Yes) and I got the following - NOTE still build 3.0.782 and in this case 101 and 103 are now not HD



Finally I updated to the latest build 3.0.790 - please refer to my previous post for the screenshot but channel 103 is indeed now UTV HD, but BBC1 has reverted to SD!

The changes from 3.0.782 -> 3.0.790 have caused a mix up in ABM for NI HD I think?

ADDITIONALLY (and I will open a new thread withe the info below) please also note my screen-shots no longer capture the TV picture - see the previous post where picture is "fuzz" (I did a back-up resotore to 3.0.786 from 3.0.790 and same problem). I have tried screen-grapbber and shoot your screen; as well as applying various resolution format and image type settings.

I saw the post re "auto resolution" - my unit is set to 50p, but I note with ViX images later than 3.0.782 that the format of the screen-shot image is stretched differently.

To summaries - I did an image restore to 3.0.782 - screen-shots work. WITHOUT changing any settings I have done an "auto update" to 3.0.790; screen-shots now have fuzz for TV pictute in full or window, and the format (stretch) of the image has changed.

 

[judge]

Screenshots should be fixed in next build, its a 790 issue & been found.

 

[sigpark]

Thanks judge - good news!

Re my post above and the earlier one from abu baniaz, it looks like the line:

<channel number="141" with="101" />

...has been added to skyie.xml when the UTV swap line was removed?

I have deleted this line in skyie.xml contained in folder /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

and tested. 101 -> 105 are now correct for NI HD!

 

[sigpark]

Additionally I have noticed that the order (channels on top) of the HD Channel Bouquet listing is incorrect for Sky HD NI in skyie.xml.

There is a section above the "swapchannels" section that deals with the HD "Channels on Top" in the XML file. AS BBC NI HD and UTV HD are now listed in 101 and 103 respectively, they appear after BBC 2 / Channel 4 / Channel 5 in the HD bouquet! I have adjusted and tested the following (perhaps the lines for 101 and 103 are not needed for channelsontop), and NI HD bouquet seems to be correct now:

<!-- channelsontop affect only HD bouquets -->
<channelsontop>
<channel number="101" />
<channel number="142" />
<channel number="103" />
<channel number="230" />
<channel number="171" />
</channelsontop>
<!-- swapchannels affect only main bouquet (the normal version) -->
<swapchannels>
<filter bouquet="0x1008" region="0x21" />
<filter bouquet="0x1008" region="0x32" />
<channel number="142" with="102" />
<channel number="230" with="104" />
<channel number="171" with="105" />
</swapchannels>

I have amended the skyie.xml release in version 3.0.792 today and attached. Perhaps @abu baniaz can confirm as expert?

 

[abu baniaz]

The change with UTV HD has nothing to do with the image, it is to do with the broadcaster. They have recently started to broadcast 103 in HD. You can refer to the Sky website and it will show you what the official listing is for the region you select.

Maybe I did not explain well enough previously, with the exception of Northern Ireland HD (now), all HD regions have 101- 105 as the SD one. This is why they have to be swapped.

For NI, 101,102,104 and 105 still need to be swapped. The contents that you have posted are not what I posted. (Your one is missing 101. 101 has always been there and needs to be there otherwise you will get the SD version of BBC 1). Please use the file I uploaded. It is now in the latest images. People won't have to keep editing the file.

I can't comment as to the section for channels on top, but when I tested it was there and everything worked fine.
