AutoBouquetMaker released!
After a period of intensive testing ViX has released their new AutoBouquetMaker, included in all images from build 514. This unique functionality creates bouquets for a number of major providers, where the user has a lot of influence on the layout. Easy to use and very fast running, with an option for regular automated scans.
For this we have to thank Andy Blacburn & Sandro Cavazzoni who have spent a lot of time to create this fabulous feature.
Here are a few screen shots of AutoBouquetsMaker on my Ultimo with the ViX image.
A few of the really nice features of this plugin as follows.
This plugin currently supports 15 different providers as detailed below
AustriaSat 19.2 East
Canal Digitaal HD 19.2 East
Canal Digitaal SD 19.2 East
Czech Republic 23.5 East
Freesat 28.2 & 28.5 East
Mobistar FR 19.2 East
Mobistar NL 19.2 East
SKY Italy 13.0 East
Sky UK 28.2 & 28.5 East
Slovak Republic 23.5 East
TéléSAT HD 19.2 East
TéléSAT SD 19.2 East
TVSat 13.0 East
TV Vlaanderen HD 19.2 East
TV Vlaanderen SD 19.2 East
This plugin has been coded from the ground up in C+ and python which means it's very fast and does not need any form of service scan prior to using, it can be run from a totally virgin setup in around 60 to 80 seconds flat.
This plugin as the name suggests is a Bouquet Maker that where possible will exactly mirror the provider it has been setup for, for example if setup for sky uk and freesat it will exactly mirror the Sky uk / freesat channel number line up.
The plugin can detect if you have a free tuner ( as in if your using a multi tuner receiver ) and use that tuner, allowing you to continue to watch Live TV with very little interruption other than a spinner and a very brief progress bar. This allows you to manually run the plugin during say a advert break with as little interruption possible. If however you dont have a free tuner as in the case of say a Vu solo dont fret as the plugin will temporarily take over the tuner while retaining it's speed allowing you to run it during a advert break if needed.
This plugin can detect your tuner configuration and will only present you with the providers that correspond to that configuration setup. for example in the above screen shots you can see my setup for sky uk and freesat, without listing all the other providers the plugin supports but can not tune into due to my own setup.
Really great and very fast plugin thanks for all the hard work, Is there a way to permanatley arrange the bouquet in a prefered order of the users choice Thanks again
sorry if wrong thread but where can i find this great plugin

Sorry buddy.. Not at the moment..
It has a default layout .. and will always revert back after the next scan..
can you add "west midlands" to the auto bouquet maker
Installation was a breeze but now I seem to have multiple bouquets, is it possible to delete the MrMister one and if so can it simply be done via remote control or do I have to use dreamboxEDIT?

you can simply remove any of your other bouquets with remote. press menu and remove entry to remove unwanted bouquet lists

At what point do you press menu? I have tried doing that after I select EPG but there is no function. Could you be a little more specific, thanks.
Press the TV button on the remote to see your list of bouquets, highlight the bouquet, then press menu.
Changed the TV button to show my recordings... Any other way?
Are you watching a recording while hitting the TV button?
If so, go back to live TV, hit the TV button again & you will see list of bouquets.
OK sorted thanks, just changed the button setup to show bouquets.
found this fantastic with some of the foreign packages like sky Ita so much easier finding your favorite channels very easy to use big thanks from here
Many thanks for this plugin which must have taken a huge effort.
Sadly I need STV HD, so will pass on using this just now.
Once STV HD appears I will certainly use it.
Cheers
this sounds great but will it work for the et9000 running openvix image please lads

Yes: the plugin has been designed for ViX.
And it's already built directly into the image from build 514 upwards.

Well the plugin is not going to be to every ones liking, but for those who just want a bouquet to follow the service provider, such as sky UK it's in my opinion perfect as is. if it's not up to your needs you can still use other methods to update your bouquets although with this plugin once setup its fully automated.

A great addition to a already fabulous image.
Well done the VIX team.
thanks guys , will hopefully give it a try, i,m just a little reluctant straight away as last time i updated gave me problems and had to restore to an earlier version

If you can find the service reference for STV HD in the all list, you can manually change it for the channel on pos 103 - not a biggy as I do it for my regional variation
First off fantastic plugin works very well and wow the scan is very fast indeed, Big thanks to Andy and Skaman... Great work!
I noticed on DreamBoxEdit you can't 'receive files from dreambox' with the bouquets generated by this plugin? i get an error message. Is this not possible or i'm i doing something wrong?
With the other AutoBouquets plugin, When channels change frequency the picons will no longer be displayed so I would load the bouquets onto DremBoxEdit so i could update picon ref's when they change but Looks like i can't do this now or is there another way to do this?
A big thank you to the developers/testers of this plugin. I was a User of the Silverfox/Mr.Mister bouquets and liked the layout, however the ease of use and automation of these bouquets is a winner. The HD swap is also a lovely addition which I don't remember being in the beta release when I last tested.
Since using the autobouquets for SKY (East Anglia) I have noticed the following:
No entries for Sky Anytime (Not that I use this, but some might)
Setanta Sports/Setanta Ireland Missing (This might be due to the SKY region selected, however some users might need these channels)
Channel Numbers (The Mr.Mister bouquets prefixed the channel name with the corresponding channel number. Is there an option to enable this?)
Again big thanks for all the hard work!
work very fine on my et5x00, good
I didn't notice that there was no Setanta Sports & Setanta Ireland, Was watching one of them early today when the football was on using the other autobouquets. So yeah i'm 1 of those users that would very much like these 2 channels added to all regions. also didn't notice Sky Anytime wasn't there either, I would also like these channels added also please.
I had a look to see what else i didn't notice and i'm not 100% sure about how many channels there should be but there are no BBC Interactive channels in the BBC interactive bouquets (i think there is meant to be 1) and there is only 1 sky interactive channel (i think there is meant to be 18) which is in the BBC interactive bouquets. The Sky interactive bouquets is empty.

My Version of DBE will pull in and process, but recognises errors in the Lamedb .. I Understand this is due to the implementation techniques which are Not compatible.

Which version of DBE do you have? Although you get errors does the bouquets and channels load up? if so that's all i need, so i can get the new ref's by the option 'copy service reference to clipboard'.
i have had it on my duo for the last week and am getting the spinning vix if i go up the page to fast and if selecting a channel,and have to restart my mg cam again:confused:user error more like,got it on the max digital 1000 also:D
well done to all thats a massive bit of work:thumbsup:
I'm also using dreamboxEDIT 5.0.2.0, download in this thread:

Although it slows down while downloading bouquets & reports errors, has never failed me.
I then use it to create my custom starting bouquet, upload, then run AutoBouquetMaker again to eliminate any issues DBE had.
Fantastic plug in but would like to echo the sentiments regarding Setanta Ireland being included in the bouquets.
It wasn't until 2:50pm today that I noticed it was missing.
I had to quickly install a new bouquets set so I wouldn't miss the 3pm kick off.
The plugin installs the localised bouquets you request in the settings.
If you need other channels, create a custom bouquet with them in it.
mines 5.0.2.0

:edit: Nevermind got it to work.

I think once AutoBouquetsMaker does it's next scan it will remove the Setanta channels that you added and you'd have to re-add it, it would be nice if were part of AutoBouqetsMaker for all regions.
I think it takes so long to download to DBE because the channel numbering/placeholders is HUGE.. 'all channels' which is the 1st bouquets goes all the way up to 65534 (it's usually 999) before the 2nd bouquets even starts.. Altogether the channel numbering/placeholders go all the way up to 68997 in the TV bouquets, The Radio Bouquets numbering/placeholders go up to 4004. It takes forever to load certain bouquets in DBE because there are so many placeholders.
In the 'all channels' bouquets the placeholders start at 1 and the TV channels start at 101 and end at 999 with placeholders in between channels to get the sky numbering but then the placeholders continue all the way to 65533 with 65534 being a 'Sky Sports Interactive 1473' channel. The Radio placeholders start at 1 and goes all the way up to 3100, The radio stations (SkyUK) start at 3101 and end at 3214... for the radio stations for FreeSat the placeholders start at 3215 and go all the way up to 3913 then the FreeSat radio stations start at 3914 and end at 4004.. This can't be right?
There are roughly just over 1000 skyuk channels but there are over 67000 placeholders.
Is anyone else with 'All channels' experiencing this?
Every one I think but not sure if this is a bug or by design
I know there is a bug with interactive channels so hopefully it's a bug as it slows down opening the graphical epg too
How do i uninstall this plugin?

The same way as all plugins: PluginBrowser --> Red.
Be aware that (as this plugin is part of the image) it will be re-installed during an online image backup.
Thanks, was looking in extensions rather than system plugins which explains why I couldn't find it :banghead:
Nice work:thumbsup::thumbsup::D

We have done a very thorough search for info about German (Sky) channels. So far we found nothing. If you can provide us the info, we might be able to add (Sky)Germany to this plugin.
In reply to others and my previous post....
If you add the Setanta channels to the Sports section manually they are removed as soon as the plugin rescans. Ideally, these channels being added to all regions would only be of benefit to people.
I have also noticed that there are quite a few Sky box office channels missing, so to have the complete set would be fantastic.
Has there been any thoughts on prefixing the channel names with the coresponding Sky channel numbers?
Thanks
this is great, thanks allot, great work!
Why not copy Setanta & any other channels you want that are not in your chosen locations scan to your own custom bouquet?
Next update should fix sky interactive channels.
Thanks for the workaround judge. I have created a custom bouquet containing the Setanta channels along with the full set of Box Office channels. Top tip for anyone else with these requirements.
Sorry for the newb question.
Does this mean, I no longer need to update my "Mr Mister" Bouquet on my duo?
I can use this as a replacement and it auto updates itself, as far as new channels and also any frequency changes ?

pretty much yes.

Thanks Rob and Phoenix, but where do you pick up info for the other countries, eg UK and NL is there a particular type of file you are looking for or WEB site? Its a serious question, just need to know what type of information I am looking for that could help solve the problem - I have a German family friend that loves little projects like this, so maybe I can wind him up to go looking :)
Solving this would be a big help to me in using the plugin ... and a timesaver

1- First of all we were aware that those providers provide STB's that are capable of updating the 'official' channel list. We still don't know this about German providers. Knowing that we went to
2- look into the data transmitted by the transponders to see if we could find and decipher data providing that kind of info. Once we were able to use the data we went to
3- look for information published by those providers about their channellists, so we could compare our results with the official lists.
So that's pretty much what should be done for any provider we want to add to AutoBouquetMaker (plus of course a huge amount of time to investigate and to adapt the plugin).
This is a great move forward now I am used to the new layout and configurations I will never go back :)
All we need now is an automatic update for picons and I will never have to use Filezilla or DreamEdit again :)

Well, that really depends on your taste. My absolute favourite is the tv-ocram.hd.transparant.
Congrats ViX team on yet another beautiful feature to an already SOLID image.
Couple of quick questions :
1. ABP News (which was Star News till sometime back) is an Asian news channel, which seems to have gone missing in the Autobouquet scan. How can I add it back in ?
2. I always prefer to keep a sub-set of my favorite channels. After running the Autobouquet, I downloaded the bouquets using Dreamboxedit 5.1.0.1 (latest version), got some duplicacy errors but otherwise everything went fine. I added "My favorites" folder (the built-in favorites is used by other family members) and added my channels to it and uploaded it back. Everything running perfectly fine....my question is, if I do a rescan using Autobouquet, do I need to recreate or update "my favorites" folder?

I use picons from the feeds, so I never have to update them manually.
Can you point me to how to set this up? Can I specify the path of picons folder as well (point to USB) ? Am missing a few picons for a new set of channels : UMP Movies, UMP Stars.

Good Afternoon,
Is there any chance at the next version we will get the irish sports channels on ALL bouquets as the space is there for them? to be added like on the original auto bouquets? and fixing the missing SBO / BBC / Sport Interactive Channels?
A great start and lighting fast,
Thanks Again

Thanks Rob for your response, I guess I can start to understand the difficulties for Germany, where there is no total channel packaging such as Freesat or Sky(UK).
Even on the Sky (Deutschland) receiver only the Sky channels are in a defined sequence, the rest (and mostly frequently accessed by Germans) are user programmed into 1->99...... then you have the 16? HD+ channels which use the same encryption but that is about the only connection.
Although the 2 Sky EPG's look different, I guess Sky (Deutschland) uses similar transmissions which can be picked up a la Sky UK - perhaps? ..... but it still wouldn't give you a list of ALL German stations only Sky.
Will think and discuss
Why not copy Setanta & any other channels you want that are not in your chosen locations scan to your own custom bouquet?
Next update should fix sky interactive channels.
Because it's not as tidy as the AutoBouquet plugin which puts it in Sport where it belongs :). I'm sure the new plugin is great, but I'm happy using AutoBouquet at the moment which also incorporates the Irish channels.
Why not at the end of the day? It's not like the new plugin separates ESPN, Chelsea TV or any other 'bolt on' channels which people may or not have access too, it includes them all regardless.

Your more than welcome to use any method you choose to sort your channels, but the OE-Alliance ABM generates bouquets true to the region specified by the user in their setup. at present it's doing exactly what it's designed to do, setanta is not even a UK channel and as such is not on the uk sky channel line up.

And that's exactly the beauty of this plugin: it leaves any other bouquets in place. So now on top of my 'normal' lists I have an amount of ABM created ones.

yes same here. the channels i need that are not part of the sky uk lineup are in their own custom bouquet, all the rest are auto updated every morning by ABM, i even set my brothers receiver up like this and he's over joyed as he's a total technophobe who cant operate a toaster without it blowing up in his face.
sky sports interative channels need adding
AutoBouquetMaker released!
After a period of intensive testing ViX has released their new AutoBouquetMaker, included in all images from build 514. This unique functionality creates bouquets for a number of major providers, where the user has a lot of influence on the layout. Easy to use and very fast running, with an option for regular automated scans.
For this we have to thank Andy Blacburn & Sandro Cavazzoni who have spent a lot of time to create this fabulous feature.

We know mate, Andy is trying to fix them.

any help would be great
Thank you
Do you have twin feeds into the nox or one set up as loopthrough or same? if the later try disabling the tuner and than scanning
Hi
yes its a dual tuner with 2 separate inputs, both tuners set to 'simple' '28.2', i have tried setting tuner B to 'not configured' but still hangs, anything else I can try
Thanks in advance
it will go after around 5-10 minutes.it happens to me sometimes

Hi, I am really new to this. Can someone tell me how to uninstall autobouquets because it may be having an adverse effect on my new autobouquetmaker. Also I seem to be frequently losing my chanel guides, some appear but for only a short timescale so you cannot check on programs a few hours in advance.
If you download from the feeds Menu>Plugins>remove plugins >extensions
Thaks for that.It appears that my menu problem is cured when I update crossepg and yet it is set to auto @ 4.00am so not sure why it is not updating?
Not working for me at all. I do not have Astra 1F coverage, and it starts from it. And just 'Timeout for tuner lock'.
Fix please. Thanks
Still having problems with crossepg not updating correctly. The autobouquetmaker has its own updating system so why use crossepg at all?
astra 2F sorry
Try disabling your other tuners and see if that fixes it for you

The two have nothing in common: ABM is for updating channels, Cross is updating EPG.

sorry, what other tuners? i have UNO
as said above CrossEPG and ABM are totally different entities and in no way influence each other, try deleting your EPG.dat file ( kill enigma first via a telnet session ). then download the EPG again. I personally have CrossEPG / OpenTV and ABM running perfectly fine together on 6 different receivers.

Not working for me =(
This is about ABM?
As we have dozens of testboxes all using ABM & Cross & ....... without any problems, you'll have to tell us a bit more to be able to help.
First of all: is your box on build 534? If not, it should be the first step to upgrade.
Be aware: if you didn't do so before: if your present build is <build 521 your box requires a flash.
Yes, ABM.
Yes, latest build, single tuner (tried simple, advanced config). I do not have 2F coverage at all - no lower transponders. But it looks like ABM wants to start with these, cannot see any signal (sits at 'scanning, found 0') and aborts with 'tuner timeout' msg.
Thanks

Can you tune to BBC1 HD & try the ABM scan again?
No problems here for ROI scans.
How have you your tuner setup?
No, cannot get that TP either. Can get any other tp's tho (i use 12480v with roi e4/c4 most frequently). But i ran ABM numerous times, while tuned to working channels, only to get same msg.
I know, i know. Why the heck you want this as you don't have lower tp's? Why? I don't watch bbc and itv, but i watch almost every other channel without any problems. And, mind, it's only 5 first channels in epg lineup (bbc1/2/itv/c4/c5) i can't get...
And what you mean by 'tuner setup'? It's in simple more, single sat. Any more settings needed?
sounds like your dish might need readjusting.
Are you slightly.... ? I am thousands miles away from footprint, and i use 2.5m dish.
Perhaps for now it should be noted, that ABM cannot function without 100% sat coverage? As i have 95% and it cannot do it's thing.
Are you slightly.... ?
???
I am thousands miles away from footprint, and i use 2.5m dish. Should i 'adjust' it? To achieve what exactly?
Sorry, I presumed you were in Ireland & that's why you wanted a ROI scan.
I'm irish and working around southern russia... Sorry, just a bit frustrated by blatant non-understanding... Sorry.

simply put if your outside the operational footprint of 2F dont use ABM for 28.2 east as it wont work.

As you are never going to be able to pick up the UK spot beam transponders on 2F and you want to use an autobouquet then go to Lraizer's earlier version that will still work.
Yes, thanks! That's useful - will search 'Lraizer'.
I just have problem in my life with 'assumptions'... Such as ABM 'assumes' i have full coverage. judge 'assumed' i'm in roi, without me mentioning it directly... I've been subtle trying to hint that i'm not around (and not getting 2F is a pretty good indication)...
Really sorry for any offence caused, it's just out of pure frustration, and not getting straight answers. Now i have it - ABM's just not for my setup, so i will looks for other options (although all i need is preset roi bouqette - mr.mister's is more uk).
Sorry again, i'll behave. And thanks for pointing 2F requirement out - this saves me time hitting my head on the wall trying to get it working ;)

The simplest thing to do when reporting a bug or looking for help is to provide as much information as possible, any thing you think we would need to know and more. you have to remember that we are not psychic and that this is a UK / EU based forum and as such we will always assume that you are within the footprint of the satellite your trying to receive unless you tell us otherwise.
I thought i said that i can't get 2F at page 11 :) That's why i got so frustrated at page 13 ;)
By the way. My original slybox is unable to perfectly get that sly default TP - 11778 every time. And for a long time i thought it's the only one bearing channel lineup data. It's not only one. I experimented with slybox and changing default (startup) TP to e.g. 11604V or 11817V gets channels loaded, lined up, and epg'd as good as 11778. But not all tp's bearing this data. Perhaps there's a way to hardcode/edit this default tp value for ABM (wondering from which particular TP it wants to load bouquette). That info can be useful and i'm not afraid of modding.
Thanks

As most of these guys are in the UK, they probably know that they receive signals from 28.2E, but which Astra satellite (1D, 2B, 2F or in future 2E) is probably not in many people's vocabulary :)
can you please add "West Midlands" into the UK areas/providers
I have West Midlands BBC1 as my first channel using autobouquetmaker. What I do not have is channel numbering?

do you have the regions set for both freesat and sky uk ?. as both are needed to pull in the channels and retain correct numeration.
Merry Christmas. Yes I have both set.
Does anyone know if the bouquets generated by this plugin should be available on another box via the remote stream converter plugin? I tried it today a few times, but the remote box only found radio bouquets..once I put a custom bouquet back on (such as mister mister etc) then the remote box found this bouquet..so for me at least these auto generated bouquets are not compatible with the remote stream converter plugin

Hmmm, you're right: it doesn't work.
This must have creeped in on one of the latest versions, as I did use it before (during the test-phase of the plugin) and then it worked fine.
lads,
im doing something wrong.
after setting up as required for my area(inc both sly and fta bouquets) and hitting scan
the bar fill to just under half way then I get error message TIMEOUT FOR TUNER LOCK

hi really appreciate the reply.
not sure how to check tuners so please advise if you have a second.it would be appreciated.
no no recordings occurring.
I was watching sshd1 and it clearly says in the autobouquets description that if the other tuner is occupied it would use the first tuner.
and in the case of single tuner that it would skip to the scanner for a few minutes so to do it in a commercial break.
I tried to switch to the other tuenr but it seems to be blank.
maybe this is confusing the plugin
THANKS for your help thus far

I must be doing something wrong but not sure how to fix.leaning towards the second tuner not working(for what ever reason) and thius confusing the plugin.
bloody love the vix image.best image ive ever used on any box bar none.
Do you have two cables?
if not follow the post either way above yours and disable second tuner

clearly the second tuner not getting feed(****ed wire maybe?)so was confusing plugin which must have wanted to switch to it as I was watching tuner A.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! absolute legend.cheers again
When you get time, have a look at the F connector especially if its the sly dual cable as f connectors have a habit IME of working lose, might just need to tighten it up.
You can also disable the first tuner and go into satfinder to see if there is a signal coming down, if not than its either connections either end or the cable.
the plugin resolve all problems about multi-channel trasponder because take the right one; in fact some channels are presents on more tp but only one is correct to wacth. thanks

ive installed this on numerous receivers using lots of different images, and while it will install, and allow me to set up everything, when it comes to actually running the scan, the menus are disabled and only the 'About' screen is selectable. Could this 'block' be removed?

There is no block in the code, it's opensource & available on the git server.
If it doesn't work on other images, maybe point them in the direction of the code & ask them to have a look?

That won't have anything to do with ABM, that info comes from your EPG data. Where ever you are pulling this from must be incorrect for that channel or a schedule change has been made since you last downloaded your EPG data..

Indeed, and on pressing OK the Now/Next data from the transponder is being displayed instead of the data stored by the box.
Sorry mate your correct using cross epg will have a look cheers
i have noticed on my ultimo when i press epg, its takes a while to open the epg (about 5 secs)
the vix logo spins first if thats any help

As far as I know (not having used it for some while), it will always add in autobouquet's own bouquets - ypurs will be shunted to the end. Also due to the implementation, autobouquet is not really compatible with any of the "standard" bouquet editors.

The channel numbers are there by default, you just have to activate them.
I went through the menu screens for such an option but couldn't find it.
Where is it located?

pull up your channel list with the up or down button. then press menu and go from there, you should see a option to enable channel numbers ( or something to that affect, i cant remember the exact name and i'm at work so no way to verify ).

No it seems to happen on any bouquet, had 'old'autobouquet installed before and thought that might be causing the problem but can't find anything to remove ie menu>plugins>remove plugins and nothing there.

It could very well be possible that There not playing nicely with each other. I would try a fresh flash then go from there and see if your still having the problem.
It was also recommended that users perform a fresh flash after build 519, if you did a online update from a a build earlier than 519, that too could cause problems.
Great feature and has been working great for me.
I understand that Setanta etc are not part of the UK Sly line up, but how about an option to enable non-region specific channels such as Setanta to the bouquets?
You can't as it captures the data from the stream, what you can do is manually add the setenta channels to the sports bouquet
Mr. Mister

What you can do is add a set of my bouquets to your box..
Delete all bouquets apart from the NI and Rep Varations..
Then run the auto bouquet maker..
Now the Setanta channels will in the the Irish Varations..
Very simple..
Ill pull a set from my box later today.. and post them up for you guys..
Trying but I can't seem to get this right.
Here is what I did:
1. Use iDreamX (Mac version of DBEdit) to remove all existing bouquets except the Northern Ireland variations
2. Run AutoBouquetMaker with appropriate regional settings and HD swap
But the outcome isn't what I expected. Setanta channels remain in the NI bouquet - but with channel numbers 2027, 2028 (and not 423, 424). The same outcome occurs when I remove all bouquets and simply transfer the 'All New Vix 28.2 East Bouquets' uploaded by Mr. Mister on 04-01-2013.
What I want is the plugin to produce and regularly update bouquets containing the Setanta channels in their correct place. In other words, bouquets that match the old Mr. Mister 28.2E HD swap bouquets as closely as possible.
Thanks for your help with this.
Im using autobouquetMaker on the latest build of vix but all the itv channels seem to be missing i have also looked in the fta bouquet aswel as the rest notting there any help appreciated

by all ITV channels what do you mean ? because they are all there on mine, including the other regional channels which are in their own section.
All the itv1 itv2 etc.. there not in any of the bouquets would it be a setting in autobouquetmaker i have ROI choosen in the settings

ITV isn't included in ROI Sky listings.
Run a London scan, create a custom bouquet, add your ITV variations to it, then run a ROI scan again.
If i use the new Mr.mister bouquets will autobouquetmaker keep them up to date or will i have to manually update them
ABM wont touch any preexisting bouquets you have on the receiver, those you would have to update and maintain your self.
I did a scan with abm on london hd and added Mr. Mister new bouquets which put in irish variations next time abm does a scheduled scan will it update london hd boquet without overwriting irish variations so i can just maintain the irish list with the latest mr. mister bouquets ?
It will only update the bouquets that ABM created, everything else will be left untouched.
If you move channels into the ABM bouquets, they will be removed on the next scan
Now that i have irish variations bouquet added the numbering is messed up is there anyway to fix this many stations have the same channel number.

Not sure how to take a screenshot on the image ? The channel numbering for the abm bouquet is fine but the numbering for the irish variations are showing up as the same can i change that ?

Hi all. I'm using auto bouquet on my new vu+ solo2 and am experiencing some problems.
For the second morning running it hasn't updated, but thrown up an error instead. Timeout for tuner lock.
I am running the latest vix and have tuner a connected to my motorieed dish and tuner b to my static sly dish.
Now there is a problem where the snr and agc are showing incorrect values, not sure if this is a driver or image fault, but it's only giviing 70% snr and 45% agc. I know these are incorrect readings as my old duo shows 90%
And when I go into sat finder it shows as locked anyway. Any ideas?
I can't seem to find a setting that would enable me to get all channels but the ones that are only available in UK/Ireland itself (geographically). Is there an option to create all channels but the ones on Astra 1N and 2F (skip Freq < 11222.17) that only serve that geo location?

Not that I am aware of..... and if you have problems with 2F then I guess you are outside UK, and with the move of 2A to 2F you are likely to see more problems which are not going to be fixed by a bouquet tweak :)

That is of course not possible: how would any plugin be able to know what you (can't) receive? I'm also 'outside the UK' but I can receive every single channel.
And besides: the plugin just reads the data submitted by the provider.

But isn't that why you can select Area (London, Border England, Brighton....) in plugin? What if there would simply be Area: "Outside UK" that would just skip all the Freq < 11222.17 channels?
Yes but those locations are broadcast by the service provider, which is what the plugin reads from, they don't provide a outside the UK option.

If that is what you are after why don't you just run the lraizer auto bouquet plugin. Yes it does take longer to run, but it will number every channel as sky does. And it will find all the Irish channels that you want.

Both Lraizer's and the OE ABM do not interfere with existing ones. The bouquets they creates will be at the top of the list. Numbering will be per official lineup.

Are your "existing" bouquets placed at the end ofthe bouquets generated by autobouquet?

No, my existing bouquets have been completely wiped.

AutoBouquetMaker released!
After a period of intensive testing ViX has released their new AutoBouquetMaker, included in all images from build 514. This unique functionality creates bouquets for a number of major providers, where the user has a lot of influence on the layout. Easy to use and very fast running, with an option for regular automated scans.
For this we have to thank Andy Blacburn & Sandro Cavazzoni who have spent a lot of time to create this fabulous feature.

Same here on the Gigablue Quad, cannot hide or keep, will not scroll or tick was working perfectly until lately. I'm on build 562
i've just installed fresh image had freesat and sky on yes to scan but entertainment numbers start from 1001 not 101 also hide bouquet does not work for me using duo both on fixed 28.2
were aware of the hide bouquets error, that should be fixed in the next release, as for the numeration it's working fine here for me.
do you have sky uk above freesat in the providers order section ? if not make sure it is.
yes sky is above freesat on sky options i chose generate main yes, generate sections yes, hd and fta both no and swap yes
its like when I click on it my remote stops working so I can not scroll down to select anything
will not scroll or tick
i believe pheonix has read about this sort of thing happening
what image are you using m8?

i have installed ABM, i have all providers enabled.
when i i choose green button (satellites) i only have 3 sats showing, 13E 19E and 28E

The rearranging of the listing from my setting as stated here is becoming annoying. I'm considering removing ABM and going back to my original setup so my listing is fixed. I fail to see what ABM does for me that the Mr Mister listing for 28.2 does not, or am I missing something.

You can't remove ABM as it is embedded, but you can decide not to use it. Although I fail to see the problem.

Rob, it is just the re-ordering on the next download that is my issue which had been stated will always happen. I'll look for the thread on how to disable it.

no disrespect to MR.misters work as i know he puts a lot of time and effort in to his bouquets, but the ABM plugin is significantly different in that once setup it's fully automatic. meaning no more missing channels or waiting for a bouquet to be updated.

Ok Phoenix, I do get your point and it is a great plugin and does save the time to keep updating. Any chance of a tweek to keep the bouquets to the last setting rather than reordering back to default. No disrespect to the developers :D

The plugin completely re-writes the bouquets on each pass, to be honest i'm no coder so i have no idea what would be needed to be done nor exactly what your trying to do your self.
i my self use ABM on multiple systems for sky uk and it works perfectly for me.
what i would suggest is that you create a separate thread detailing exactly what your doing and what you expect to happen as compared with the actual results. otherwise you run he risk of your posts becoming lost in this ever growing thread.

Fair enough Phoenix. I'll do some screen dumps as well and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.
Not all the categories are being created and the channel numbers are wrong . I tried to create the bouquets after a tuner scan.
I've been using AutoBouquets 28.2E on my Dreambox which had proper categories and Sly channel numbering but I now have a Vu Solo 2 hence the change in program as ABM is built into Vix.

seriously?
a bit more info would be handy.
Such as local area setting used, any other settings you've changed and so on..

All settings under Provider Sky are set to yes including custom channels and local area setting is Granada HD.

so, what's the problem, what bouquets are missing?

you do also have the freesat option selected and set to your local region ?? as it is needed to populate all channels.

no your in the correct forum, although this thread is getting rather large so it may be best to create a separate thread for your issue.
also what exact locations are you trying to receive ?, as the ABM plugin only works with a limited number of satellite providers due to the way they handle channels.
for example if i were setting up a motorized system up now i would use the Vhannibal E2 motor bouquet as a base pack, once that was loaded i would then fire up ABM and set it up to maintain and auto update my sky uk listings. This way i get the benefit of both worlds if you understand where i'm coming from.

The satellites that show up in the channellist (as I presume you're talking about the channellist) are in accordance with your tunerconfiguration. So please tell us what your tuner setup is.
Anyway: there is no relation with ABM.

hi guys, just wondering as i'm in ireland, is there a sky ireland listing available? i dont really want one to match ireland exactly thugh as the irish epg doesnt have itv or variations.. just be nice to have a combination of the both..
Use ABM to create Sky Ireland & Freesat London.
All the ITVs & variations will be created in the freesat, move the ones you want to a favourites bouquet...

the itv hds as well?

No, you will get ITV1 HD but not the others as far as I'm aware.
Run a Sky London HD scan, use DBE to create your favourites, then run a ROI Sky scan, add the Irish channels you want to your favourites...
Long winded but you will get all the channels you want.
It keep on freezing on me when I go into set up settings

Guys can someone gimme a bit of help. Located in NI so have set the ABM for NI HD. When it runs it dont populate UTV in the 103 slot. Infact nothing is in the 103 slot. If I run ABM for NI SD the locals are correct but loose the BBC1 NIHD 1n 101.
I suspect that when UTV HD is on the epg it will fix it.
To be honest its not for me but my mate, I use the boquets to goto where I want rather than using numbering
I think this may have been asked before but is there any plans to add the channel number before the channel name on the infobar? Currently, there is only the channel name.
For example 101 BBC 1
love this on my 2 duos, i am trying to set it up on my gigablue for multi sats..does it work ok with multi sats? or do i have to just pick and chose ones i want and then add engima 2 settings for motorised set up?
Ive always used Mr.Mister bouquets and thought id give the autobouquets a whirl.
Its really good but i have a bit of a problem trying to sort out STV WESt HD region.
channel 103 doesnt populate with anything, the only way it works is if i select SKY STV SD but then i loose all other HD channels ie BBc Scotland Hd, c4 HD.
i ended up manually inserting STV sd by downloading the channels to DBedit and reuploading them once id added STV sd.
Is there any workaround for this? other than what im doing
im on Vix 600 at the moment
cheers in advance

Guys have fresh build of 600 running on Solo2. I downloaded Catseye settings from plugin feed. Then ran ABM. When ABM finishes the Catseye settings are gone, just the ABM boqeuts are visible in Favourites. Have tried with Likra and Cajon settings and ABM works correctly slotting in at the top of existing ones. But each time with catseye only the ABM Favs are displayed.

Yep I can't get catseye to work with ABM either.

Started using this last night, really handy instead of having to manually update channels each time.
I did notice a few channels are wrongly named though;
303 - Sky Movies 007 HD should be Sky Movies Oscars HD
310 - Sky Movies Modern Greats HD should be Sky Movies 007 HD
124 - FX HD should be FOX HD
Same goes for the SD and +1 channels.
Other than that it works really great, thanks a lot! :D
afternoon!
is it possible the autobouquetsmaker can be adapted to work with cable?
afternoon!
is it possible the autobouquetsmaker can be adapted to work with cable?
im sure it would be possible, we built autobouquets for cable UK into the commando dbox2 images a few years ago. there should still be some old autobouquets patches somewhere on ukcvs for cable uk, or i should still have them lurking in the depths on my old dev system :)
ta for the info lraizer,
i have created a full set of bouquets for uk cable but itd be nice to have autobouquets maker do the work and create both for me when i do an update. atm its a ballache having to update sat then merge my cable ones.
would i need to use your autobouquetsmaker for this or can the vix one be modified with your patches?
i dont know if things have changed since the dbox days regarding the stream but if yee need any assistance in making this possible lemme know, i can try to get some info from the stream.
