Excel file to help with sort file for Lraizer's Autobouquets.

[abu baniaz]

Not sure which part of forum this belongs to. This is an excel package to help in sorting out your sort file. I hope it is simplifies the process so you can have customised bouquets that are updated by Lraizer's AutoBouquets E2. This file IS NOT REQUIRED for AB 28.2, it is just to help in organising the sort file. You can also get service refernce names for renaming picons.

Autobouquets 28.2 by Lraizer is different from the OE Alliance AutoBouquetsMaker by AndyBlac and Skaman.

Instructions here, but also attached in package.

On the 23/10/2013 version, you can sort the channel in the bouquets listed below. (The Neutrino version has more bouquets which can also be renamed. Hopefully coming soon to E2)

How to use:

1. Run AB 28.2 so that and up-to-date csv file is created for you. It will be located in the plugin folder. 
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/AutoBouquets/ 
Copy "autobouquets.csv"to your PC in the same folder as the Interrogator, replace the one that I have attached. 

2. Open the .csv file before opening the Interrogator.

3. Open the interrogator.

Your will note that there are several tabs,10 corresponding to the customisable bouquets. 
grabber = imports data from the csv file. You will not ethat there are a few other details included. Ignore them if they mean nothing to you.
The picon names are there However, 
numerical = re-arranges the channels into numerical sequence. This data is used for vlookups to return names etc.
Sort file = gathers whatever you fill in the other bouquets.

4A. In each bouquet tab, type the number of the channels you want in the YELLOW column. Also place them in the sequence you want. Do not worry about the other columns, they will reflect any changes you make.

4B. Some people find it easier to have channels in alphabetical order, you can use the excel function to rearrange these. Column A is equal to column H to aid this process. 

You can have duplicates but not one after the other. eg, have a few favourites at top of each bouquet but also lower down in alphabetical order.

5. Now go to the red "Sort File" tab. As you will hopefully find, the channels will be in sorted according to what you did in the other tabs. 

6. Save the excel file to save you from having to redo your work. You can save as different names so that you can have a restore point.

7. Copy column A (yellow one) and paste into your custom_sort_3.txt file.

8. Transfer to the plugin folder.

9. For custom sort to work, you will need to change the "Bouquet Channel sort" option so that it is "Sort 3".

10. Feel free to share your sort files.

When you next run AB 28.2, the channels will be in your chosen order.

Once again, this file is to assist in organising the sort file. AB 28.2 does not require it.
If you can rephrase this to make it easier, please do so.
