[ABM-MISC] Dsayers custommix importer plugin support thread

[sticky7]

I have got new CustomMix files without Sport HD Channels. For OpenATV do a software update or goto plugins red to remove plugins, system plugins choose ABM CustomMix Importer reboot box now goto plugins green to install plugins then System Plugins choose ABM CustomMix Importer and reboot box.

OpenVix will need to wait for next image release.

Now goto ABM CustomMix Importer in service searching/Tuner Config press right you should now see: Sky UK:Import Virgin channels (Without HD Sports) by DSayers and Virgin UK: Import free Sky channels (Without HD Sports) by DSayers choose the version you want then yellow to fetch file and green to save then rescan ABM.

Thank you to AbuBaniaz for the help with these changes.

Can OpenVix users download these customMix files elsewhere in the meantime?

Yes https://github.com/davesayers2014/CustomMix_Files/tree/master/Without_HD_Sports

Choose the CustomMix you want then choose raw copy all the text and save as same name and FTP the CustomMix file to usr\lib\enigma2\python\Plugins\SystemPlugins\AutoBouquetsMaker\custom

You'll need to change auto fetch to no.

Im about to set off to work but ill post the XML files tomorrow

sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml Without Sport HD for users that cant update plugin till next image

FTP sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml to \usr\lib\enigma2\python\Plugins\SystemPlugins\AutoBouquetsMaker\custom

Turn Auto Fetch to no

That is why we are going to wait for the changes before tweaking the swaps etc for ABM.

EDIT:
Create csv file with current numbers
Create csv file after changes
Compare and modify as required

Also note when reworking your lists for the upcoming changes, the Sports Active and Anytime category changes I've also included below don't seem to appear on any lists ive seen in the wild.

 100 = Channel 100
 101-200 Entertainment and Documentaries
 201-300 Ent. and Doc. +1 (parent last 2 digits)
 301-349 Movies
 350-400 Music
 401-449 Sports
 450-489 Ent. and Doc. continued (overspill +200)
 490-500 Pay-Per-Vew
 501-539 News
 540-559 Sky Anytime
 560-579 Specialist
 580-600 Religious
 601-659 Kids
 660-700 Shopping
 701-800 International
 801-899 Secondary Channels (HD/SD swap)
 900-930 Adult
 931-939 Sky Sports Active
 940-950 Gaming and Dating
 951-999 Other (Mostly Regionals)

Also something for ABM devs to think about? AMB is currently missing the functionality to create a 100-999 main list for use with remote zapping, followed by creating the transmitted category bouquets based on the category_ID data instead of as is currently done, with creating a category bouquets based on service number ranges. Reading the category_ID for this provider is already in the reader

Are you referring to maintaining the official channel number? ie Sky One in Entertainment bouquet section = 106 regardless of whether "all channels" bouquet is enabled or not.

As the new sky channel changes have happened the bbc one hd channel is on 801 and not 115 as you have on the swap part of the sat282uk xml file. Also channel 4 hd is on 138 and not 804 as you have on the swap section of ABM.

BBC1 HD is still on 115 for me and for some reason Channel 4 HD has not moved to 804 for some reason 138 for me London HD http://skyplustv.sky.com/tv-guide/

It looks like a regional swap so certain areas maybe 138 others 804 North West Yorkshire HD http://skyplustv.sky.com/tv-guide/

AIUI, on an official box, Ch4 HD is swapping only in the London advertising area. Not sure about the ITV HD, it might swap where there is an exact HD equivalent.

Update file

Hi I have installed your plugin and configured correctly. The custom file that downloads is 20180416. How done get the 20180501 that you have on github.

Many thanks

 

[dsayers]

Make sure you are using Dsayers: Virgin Media UK channels into Sky UK not the option with no sports HD channels.

 

[carlowen]

Thanks for the quick responce. I've read through the thread to see if I missed anything and i can't see it. Where is the option to select a different custom file.
