[ABM-DVB-S/S2] ZoomZoomLuke's Custom 28.2 xml file

[batistawhc]

Is it a case of just renaming "BBC One HD" to "BBC One Scotland HD" for the Scottish version? Same woudl apply with STV HD instead of ITV HD? Or does it not work that way?

 

[abu baniaz]

The modifications at the end of this thread are to get channels that the provider deemed you should not get.

You slect your region when setting up ABM. FOr other channels, you are correct, it is a matter of renaming.

 

[lincsat]

You can't remove the BBC1 SD channels as the regional programming isn't on the HD channel. Don't think that ITV1 HD has all the regions either.

Good to see you are all having fun with my mod.

it. was doing my head in trying to allow us to use previously blacklisted locations, turns out its probably going to be more trouble than it's worth.

What trouble are you having? Should be do-able.

Try this one Andy
Only an image update will overwrite the sat_282_sky_uk_zzl XML file

I have written a lock script to prevent sat_282_sky_uk_zzl XML file been overwritten & unlock script after image has been updated

Hi Compass, I installed your XML file and all was good, but when I did an update I lost the XML file and had to reinstall again. Thought I'd just let you know.

Like i say i wrote a lock script to prevent sat_282_sky_uk_zzl XML file been overwritten & unlock script after image has been updated

Extract and FTP the script folder & its contents to /usr

The idea is you run the script before you perform an online image update

Short Blue> Vix> Script Runner> press Green on Sky-Uk-SD-lock.sh

You will get a console pop-up box

Execution process

SKY UK XML LOCKED
Execution Finished!!

Then you can do a online update and your sat_282_sky_uk_zzl XML will be preserved
But remember to run the Unlock Script when your receiver Restarted from image update.

Rename your one to something else and and also change the provider name so it does not conflict with the "system" one. It shouldn't be overwritten on updates and you can edit your personalised one. eg skip adult bouquets

e.g.

sat_282_myone.xml

<provider>
    <name>[COLOR=#0000ff]My Sky[/COLOR]</name>
    <streamtype>dvbs</streamtype>

 

[abu baniaz]

Following should slot in nicely. Using NIrl numbers without a conlict with mainland numbers. I've submitted a pull request including removal of lifestyle and culture bouquet

"London Live": 117,"RTE One": 161,"RTE2": 162,"TG4": 163,"RTE2 HD": 224,"Setanta Ireland": 423,"Setanta Sports1": 424,"Oireachtas TV": 574,"RTEjr": 635,

Still leaves following channels.
"UTV Ireland":
"TV3":
"3e":

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Abu, when can we expect the new modified XML file that rids of lifestyle & culture? Also do you think we will see another provider within ABM that will include the Irish channels? Thanks.

 

[abu baniaz]

As it is compliant with Luke's wishes to use existing/generic numbering and there were no objections to removing Lifestyle Bouquet, it has already been committed and will be in next update.

In your special mentions, don't forget that it was Huevos who made the final modifications to have the "not-indexed" channels. It was preceeded by PeterJ no-lcn work as well as other modifications too.

As well as among other things...
no crashes when names/sections change
omit invalid settings
selective scan
fix compatiblity with RCSC
fix compatibility with hidden sections
compliant with "orphan bouquet merge"
fix the tuner selection algorithm. Currently being ported to cross epg

I was wondering.....

Does this ZZL ABM Bouquet allow you to swap in the HD channels that are FTA e.g. ur regional BBC SD, with the equivalent BBC HD? Quiet a while ago now I remember @abu baniaz helping out quiet a bit with ABM queries, and fixes (pre Apollo). Back then with the HD bouquets that did not have the regional HD channels, there was a "swap" switch?

My question is can we do this same trick for the FTA regional BBC's + ITV's +CH4 with the now accepted standard SD bouquets?

thanks!

 

[abu baniaz]

The swaps are still there. As before, the swaps only affects the main bouquet.

ABM now has custom LCN which affects everything.

 

[sigpark]

thanks @ abu baniaz; I had forgotton that the swaps only affect "main bouquet".

I use the "custom bouquet" trick (no main bouquet), so the channel numbering is 101 for BBC1, 102 for BBC2 and on+on, starting in the "Entertainment" bouquet, and is preserved for all subsequent channels + subsequent standard bouquets.

It would be nice to have the "swap" available for this option!

@abu baniaz - Thanks, I read the instructions here on logical channel numbering, and I have done the swaps - it works very well, even without the "main bouquet", I am using custom bouquet.

I note the following line in the readme "Don't forget to add the custom folder into the backup files." which is located in Root\usr\lib\enigma2\python\Plugins\SystemPlugins\AutoBouquetsMaker\custom. I see that the customLCN.xml files are not backed up in the ViX backup? Is there a way to include this folder in the backups?

I use custom bouquets as I said for the channel numbering trick (i.e. preserve the 101 /102 etc. in the bouquets generated below the "main bouquet"). This leads me to my next question on "Channel Numbering":
When you use "custom bouquet" you can preserve channel numbering for all standard bouquets, but when you get to additional bouquets like for example FTA Bouquet, or HD FTA Bouquet then ABM starts to re-number the channels as 2001 / 2002 etc. If there is now an LCN.XML with the logical number assigned by physical channel, why can this "logical number" not be used everywhere the channel appears, irrespective of bouquet?

Thanks as always.
