Some new features added to ABM recently by @Huevos

Not Indexed
When this is enabled in the expert menu, an execution of ABM will acquire all channels on the satellite. You can edit the xml file and place channels in a specific vacant position, or just leave them in the not-indexed bouquet/section.

What this means to the user is that you can select a UK region and still get the ROI as channels without having to use two providers or vice versa.

 

[abu baniaz]

Some new features added to ABM recently by @Huevos

Delete ABM Bouquets
Not much to be said. Deletes ABM bouquets without affecting others or channels in lamedb.
Note: ABM bouquets have a prefix of "userbouquet.abm"

 

[abu baniaz]

[STRIKE]Some new features added to ABM recently by @Huevos

Selective scan/Rescan every time
ABM has had an option to keep non-ABM bouquets. ABM had to scan all of its providers in order to keep the ABM ones. So for providers that do not change very often, they had to be executed all the time.

With the implementation of Selective scan, you can now keep previous ABM bouquets without scanning them all the time. If you do not want to scan every time, set to "no". On first run, they will be scanned but omitted on subsequent scans. They will be treated as other bouquets. They will be affected by ABM's option to keep on top/bottom.

Should you wish to rescan them at a later stage, use the Delete ABM bouquets feature.[/STRIKE]

EDIT: This feature has been removed as it conflicts with the customisation changes

[abu baniaz]

FTA only

Enabling this feature will obtain FTA channels only.
When set to "yes", the FTA HD bouquet will no longer be available. This is because it will be identical to the HD bouquet.

Please note: Some channels have incorrect flags on the data srored on the transmitters.

 

[abu baniaz]

Swap Channels

This feature has changed. Previously, only channels in the large/main bouquet were swapped. The swap will now affect "non-main" bouquets/sections

 

[abu baniaz]

From Hades 019, Following region (s) added

Wales SD
Wales HD
Wales Custom (if you only want the avilable HD channels)

 

[abu baniaz]

When you update to ViX 6.8 004 or any image built after 07/03/2026, please check your ABM setup as some previous options will no longer be available.

The "Custom regions" have been removed from the provider files. You will have to set your area again.

A new option to toggle the custom mode has been added to the Sky UK and ROI providers.
The "Include non-indexed option" has also been moved to the Provider's menu.
