PROBLEM WITH CUSTOM MIX sd_sat_282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml

[WILLJE]

Hi There

I use a simple sd_sat_282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml file and all I require is that the below channels are shown in my epg in this order.

BBC ONE WALES HD
BBC TWO WALES
ITV WAL HD
S4C HD
CHANNEL 4 HD
CHANNEL 5HD

This works OK but for some reason ITV WAL HD channel number keeps changing every couple of days so I have to keep going into EXAMPLE_sd_sat_282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml checking what the new channel number is and then manually updating my sd_sat_282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml.

Is it possible to get this to update automatically???

Anybody help

Without seeing your debug log, it is difficult to see what settings you are using. Please attach it and also your customised file.

If you are adding an LCN from the other section, the numbers always vary. Best to insert by channel ID or use a favourites.xml.

Thanks for your response I've attached the requested files.

abu baniaz Any chance you can take a look at this for me.

As Abu, states above you should be inserting by channel ID for "non-indexed" channels.

Using a CustomLCN file how you have is turning Sky into a static provider. This is completely wrong. You might as well be using static settings if you are going to configure ABM like that. You need to delete that CustomLCN file and start again with a CustomMix file that just deals with the channels you are trying to edit.

Why are you scanning Sky IE at all?

Why are using "SD" area, not "Custom" area?

[Huevos]

CustomLCN is for providers that don't transmit logical channel numbers (e.g. Sky DE).

CustomLCN
---------

CustomLCN allows channels to be moved around within one single provider. CustomLCN is  
for providers that don't transmit logical channel numbers (e.g. Sky DE). Its purpose is
to insert logical channel numbers. The CustomLCN list can be complete or partial. 
It doesn't have to be in any particular order but having it sequential will make it 
easier to avoid making errors.

Maybe sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml will be best, you have some odd channel numbering there. @Huevos is it good to use Custom area with such changes? Apart from Custom area will remove all dead service and add irl channels.

Something like this as an example using channel ID for not indexed channels and inserts for others

<custommix>
	<inserts>
		<insert target="105" source="117" provider="sat_282_sky_uk" ></insert> <!-- Channel 4 HD -->
		<insert target="106" source="171" provider="sat_282_sky_uk" ></insert> <!-- Channel 5 HD -->

Im not sure if you will need to add a delete section for duplicates.

Have a look here to generate a CVS file to find channel ID,s http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post391794

TBH, I'm confused by this whole thing. Why not just Select "Wales Custom" and "HD swap".

For me it is not clear what we are trying to achieve. Please explain.

I'm trying to get the below channels to show in my epg in this order, I've previously tried your suggestion but I then get BBC2HD and I want BBC2 WALES there is not a HD version of this channel and it shows different regional programmes.

BBC ONE WALES HD
BBC TWO WALES
ITV WAL HD
S4C HD
CHANNEL 4 HD
CHANNEL 5HD

[Huevos]

Yes there is an HD version. It is on 11023 H.

Please answer the following:

• Why are you scanning Sky IE at all?
• Why are using "SD" area, not "Custom" area?

It was set to SD area by mistake I was trying different options.

As for SKY IE I'm scanning this to get some IE channels that show Welsh regional rugby like Rugby Beo on TG4

The only BBC 2 HD I can get does not show Welsh regional programmes, these are only shown on BBC 2 Wales which does not have a HD version.

I've tried your suggestion regarding wales custom with hd swap, this brings in the correct channels but when hd swap is selected it swaps BBC2 WALES with BBC2 HD which does not show my required regional programmes.

Thanks for all your help on this hopefully you can find me a solution.

I've tried your suggestion and created a sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml with your example code now for some reason when I filezilla in to the box it won't let me edit, delete or rename the created sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml have you any idea why this is happening.

[WILLJE]

Can anybody create a solution to this problem for me?
