Last Scanned Bouquet

[promark]

Whether it is a system generated bouquet or an ABM generated bouquet is irrelevant, my point is it was never shown before and it is now. if it is needed by either ABM or e2 fair enough, but does it need to be displayed?

Why is it a biggie? My Last Scanned folder is not visible on my list of bouquets as its on the next page. Why are peeps hung up on this?

I like using the up/down arrows bouquets/EPG. Seems tough. We'll get used to it. We're all different as you know on here lol

I'll look at making this hideable.

Huevos, thank you for a simple answer to a simple question. This forum is is crying out for a more understanding output instead of hiding behind techno babble from the few.
If you can indeed reverse the error, then well done from me.

Last Scanned Bouquet which seems to be all channels including radio in no particular order

Alphabetical...

As mentioned before, ABM does not create/produce the bouquet, it now populates it. It is a system bouquet. Pretty sure fastscan populates it it, all other scans populate it. Even if you run a transponder scan with no signal wire connected, it will become visible although empty. When you run ABM you are acquiring services, just like a conventional scan albeit by a different method. We have made ABM behave the same way as other channel acquisition processes.

How else will you know which channels you obtained by the last channel acquisition process?

Astra channels usually change on Tuesdays and Thursdays, what benefits are there in Running ABM every day?

@Tony, you should only open up in the last scanned bouquet if you select a channel from the bouquet. If this is not the case, please post recreation steps.

@abu - the only way I could recreate this issue consistently was to press the zero key (panic button). This goes to the first channel in the first bouquet. Before this recent change to make the "Last Scanned" list visible, my first bouquet was my Favourites (empty), followed by my Freesat bouquet, followed by SKY etc. This would mean that pressing zero before the recent change would bring me by default to the first channel in the Freesat bouquet. Now it brings me to AAJ TAK, the first channel in the alphabetical "Last Scanned" bouquet which is placed at the top.

My workaround is to change the ABM settings back to their default action of placing bouquets at the top (I had set it to place ABM bouquets after my Favourites (which happens to be empty heh heh!). I changed the providers order to have Freesat first, followed by SKy, etc. Now the "Last Scanned" bouquet is at the bottom of the list and pressing zero brings me to the first channel in Freesat.

Now, I can't say for definite that pressing the zero key is the only way to trigger this problem but I couldn't recreate the issue any other way.

A case of unintended consequences of changing ABM behaviour, perhaps? If Rowland manages to "hide" the Last Scanned bouquet it might be best as it is perhaps confusing to users and it uses conflicting terminology in that ABM doesn't "scan" in the same manner as an E2 transponder scan.

edit - depending on Channel List settings, a user may end up in this alphabetical "last Scanned" bouquet unintentionally by advancing past the last entry in their own/ABM bouquet. My personal settings don't allow zapping past the end of the current bouquet.

[Huevos]

At FT.

That behaviour hasnt changed. Scan a transponder with manual scan. If have ABM at the bottom the first channel in your list will be from last scanned irrespective of ABM changes.

[Joe_90]

The point being made is that now ABM creates (unhides?) a last scanned bouquet - this is a new behaviour and it is why users are remarking on it. I don't do transponder scans on my main box - I just run ABM

[Huevos]

No. It does not "unhide" anything. All other scans produce that bouquet. Why should ABM be any different.

We use up down arrows bouquets more so just going to have to get used to it I think. ATV seems the same.

I have used this commit and is now hidden after a scan

Thanks Huevos

Not sure what you mean by "up down arrows", but what ATV, or anyone else, does isn't really relevant for something that's newly causing a problem for Vix users and is easily fixable.

I think he means TV button for the channel list rather than the EPG, is my preferred method too

[Bangord30]

I'm Vix but I saw ATV users saying the same is what I meant so don't blame you guys lol. I mean if I'm watching a channel and want to see what's in I press up or down arrows around the ok button then go through bouquets from there and no way of hiding it in there is there? I've not looked at Huevos' fix though.
