Auto bouquets maker cannot read data

[MK]

[CraigW]

"cannot generate fav" :confused:
No automated process can generate favourites, favourites are personal?
Please explain further what you're trying to do.

[CraigW]

From my side, i'm simply trying to generate bouqets

[MK]

generate boUquets using ABM on cable.

[CraigW]

I have reflashed multiple times, still the same.

[MK]

craig which was you last build that ABM was working for you.

[CraigW]

Mine is a new box with 073

[007xico]

It happened to me over and over again. Sometimes was getting only a few sometimes nothing.
Today had to flash apollohd 73 twice for it to work .

[MK]

before .073 which build did you use with working ABM

[MK]

reverting back to .070 will report back.

[MK]

same issue with .070 cannot read data.

[007xico]

before .073 which build did you use with working ABM
Strange is that worked on the 71 build at first but I did something, like scan again and stopped working.
On the 73 it worked but don't know why. The only thing is I run the ABM without scanning the tuner for channels. I go to the tuner and add my net id, on the ABM add Virgin on providers and do a automatic scan on ABM
Finds 368 videos and +-30 radios

[DaMacFunkin]

Sounds about right.

[MK]

openvix image fine but ABM cannot read error, really love this image want it to work for me on cable side.

[MK]

right now im on mips 4.1 lamedb file from etc/enigma2

[sensui619]

im also experiencing issues with ABM.. currently using lraizer ab for sly online no issues.

vm is being used without any bouquets you think its worth for me to replace my lamedb file with the above and try again???

[dezza9995]

Having the same problem too. A manual scan finds the channels so not so sure it's a hardware problem.

[dezza9995]

Is there anywhere to download bouquets already done? I wish I hadn't updated now as everything was working before.

[abu baniaz]

The problem is usually people using the wrong net ID or having issues locking onto the frequency that ABM is using.

Check the Net ID in the engineers menu of the official receiver. If this cannot be done, get the logs as per post 1 and 2 of the following thread. You can copy and paste the commands in your telnet program http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?38120-Logs-for-Pure-area-required

[dezza9995]

I've uploaded my nit logs to that thread.

[abu baniaz]

If you perform a manual scan, do you find the PVR_EPG chanenl?

If so can, you zap to it even if it says chanenl off air. Press Menu > Information > Service > Blue (tuner status)
It should be like the screenshot. Post back the results please.

Can you also post a screenshot of your tuner configuration page please.

Here are the screen shots.

[abu baniaz]

Here are the screen shots.

Your headend is in Gateshead.
As you can see the frequencies used are there in the xml file. I am not sure what the problem is.

<configuration key="40969_dvbc_uk" netid="40969" bouquettype="hd" frequency="571000" symbol_rate="6952000" system="0" fec_inner="3" inversion="2" modulation="3">40969 Gateshead</configuration>

Perhaps, use Lraizer's Cable version. It works in a differnt way.

[LraiZer]

change your modulation to modulation="5"

[dezza9995]

Setting modulation to 5 now gives Timeout For Tuner Lock message.

[dezza9995]

I've ran lraizers autobouqets builder and that has sorted them out nicely. Thanks.

[MK]

please check now
4030440305403064030740308

these are taken with lraizers,s ABM-C vix inbuilt gives "cannot read data" when scanning virgin.

[abu baniaz]

Extract the attached file and place in
/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

I have used the frequencies in the lamedb file earlier in the thread. These have been used to create 50 frequencies for you to test on. The first five are using the frequencies in your screenshots, so hopefully you should be in luck

When you go into ABM, deselect any pre-existing providers. We are only interesred in fixing your ABM cable issue at the moment. You can re-set them later.

Select "mktest" as your provider and systematically test frequencies one by one.

Enable debug logs prior to testing.

[MK]

i have extracted the the given file to abm/provider...i have scaned after selecting MKTEST AREA netid,s are frequencies if im correct, tried four five of them, all give TIMEOUT FOR TUNER LOCK ISSUE.

[abu baniaz]

There are 50 frequencies for you to try.

[MK]

i have tried all the frequencies only
658750 gives 3 channels
674750 gives 21 channels
all other TUNER LOCK TIMEOUT

[abu baniaz]

Can you also upload the bouquets that you have after using Lraizer's plugin for cable please.

Also, what is the driver date of the image you are currently on.

[MK]

log report for frquencies 658750 & 674750

[MK]

there were quite few in etc/enigma2 these are for cable,

image driver date is 2015-1-5

[Peterj]

Please try this reader.
It makes dump files in /tmp after reading NIT and SDT tables from provider.
post the log files pls.

[MK]

log file after FTP dvbscanner.py file to ABM/scanner on VIX image, only found 2 channels

[MK]

also i added dvbscanner.py file to existing image openatv, scan went fine ABM found all the channels. this is the log file for openatv image ABM.

[Peterj]

there also should be log files in /tmp.
pls also post these log files from both images.
nit_content.log
tmp_services_dict.log
bat_content.log

[MK]

openatv tmp/ logs

[MK]

openvix vix after ftp the give (dvbscanner.py) file to abm/scanner. did two scans on on sky and ireland, which went fine. 2nd scan was on cable which gave "cannot read data" error.

[Peterj]

If I understand correctly your issue now is you cannot scan cable, but sat scanning is ok?
This is very strange.
It looks like you have less signal on the dvb-c tuner when you are using a Vix image.
It cannot read the content of the dvb-c stream.
You have some errors in the vix image.
Can you do a fresh flash without restore and try again?

[MK]

I don't have any issues on other images, auto scan gets all the channels, and ABM find all the channels as well on other image.
I'll upload fresh logs tonight

[MK]

FIXED.. your right was having signal issues on one or two channels so checked the joints which were right next to ELECTRIC METER, moved it away from the meter and all scan went well. can confirm now after scanning 3-4 times, it was the because of the meter right next to joint.

[cactikid]

interesting i am on vix apollo 153 and having a wee bit of problem [ me ] scanning on cable wont get all channels on one symbol but need to add another for list of hd channels,thought i read somewhere i could run abm with location to run on,yes timout out on tuner lock,does one need a usb or hdd for abm to work?have none setup as using a dvbsky usc cable tuner in rear port:confused:irish cable.

[cactikid]

Done a fresh install today, still no scanning using the AutoBouquets maker. Lraizers is working, i've uploaded the Bouquets I made today with it.

[abu baniaz]

We have established that it is a signal related issue. MK had his splitter replaced and rerouted the cable to avoid interference.

[Huevos]

Closing thread as MK's issue is resolved. If anyone else is having a related issue please start your own thread and upload your debug logs.

[abu baniaz]

I sent a PM to Dezza9995 some time ago asking for details of his issue. Supected issue with one brand of receiver. This is why he posted his bouquets. Many thanks to him.
