ZoomZoomLuke's Custom 28.2 xml file

[abu baniaz]

Just some background info...
When ABM first started, all of 28.2 was one xml. There were people who wanted the ROI as well as UK channels, so these were split.
The simulcast HD channels necessitated a split of the 4 UK countries as swaps world work for one country but not another.

As your xml file just contains SD regions, we can include all UK countries and change England to UK in name. Have a look at the Judge's xml. You can copy and paste the regions as well as filter. I can't remember why I changed the prefix of key to start with hd, but there was a reason.

We should really do the ROI one too.

006 released - please do not use the other versions as there is a little bug that can cause the ABM plugin to crash

changed: can add channels to blacklist / whitelist using either channel number or service name "in double quotes"
added: blacklist channels 950, 998 and 999 to get rid of another unnecessary section
changed: log cleanup - view the ABM log to see what channels have been autodeleted, blacklisted or whitelisted
changed: fixed blacklist / whitelist bug which affects radio channels

blacklist / whitelist demo:

whitelist=[101,102,103,104,141,142,178,230,426,427,516,"Film4 HD"]
blacklist=[950,998,999]

I will work on a big cleanup of all xmls into one, removing unnessary SD and HD flags and create a UK version. I will also look at the ROI one too.

I'll get this done for the next release.

sorry to be a pain... but would the following be possible?

TV3 appears in channel list for SKY ROI, but not SKY NI, i would like to have it included in the scan, can i edit the xml to do this? In addition i would like to place it at channel 163 (currently TG4) i would move TG4 to 164 (currently challenge +1) and i would look to delete challenge +1 completely

Sorry but this is not currently possible with ABM. This is decided by the region flag in the channel listing stream and only one stream can be selected in ABM per provider.

thanks for reply

That's a great help. Thanks a lot for your time on this. I've noticed that ESPN HD & Boxnation HD should still be listed but don't seem to be.

[Andy_Hazza]

Yeah I can confirm ESPN HD and Boxnation HD are still viewable, can you add these back on please?

[zoomzoomluke]

Just edit the whitelist line, eg:

# zoomzoomluke 01/08/2014 ################
# a black and whitelist to allow you to keep or automatically delete a channel from the list based 
# on it's channel number or name enclosed in double quotes. if using channel swaps, its a good idea 
# to put both channel numbers in.
#
# make your changes in the two lines below
#
##########################################
whitelist = [178,426,427,"Sky News HD","Film4 HD","RTE TWO HD","ESPN HD","BoxNation HD"]
blacklist = [950,998,999]
##########################################

But this time I have made the changes for you. Please download the latest file here:
