View Full Version : [ABM-MISC] Cable and FTA Sky UK CustomMix
Hi im starting to do a Custommix for Virgin Media UK to swap channels with FreeToAir Sky channels This is a VIRGIN MEDIA line-up with all the free channels from sky replacing those on the Virgin Lineup at the moment im not sure of the channels to swap but this CustomMix (Thanks to rossi2000) adds all FreeToAir Sky channels to Virgin Line up including regional channels so BBC 1 to channel 5 will be using sat sd versions (this may change) and I would like your thoughts and see where we go from here.
To test it FTP the cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/
Now we need to set abm
Recommended ABM setting
Menu, setup, service searching, AutoBouquetsMaker, providers
Sky uk yes
Sky UK your area custom
no need to generate bouquets.
Virgin UK yes
Virgin UK your net Id
the rest is upto you
Once done press green to save then check providers order and check Virgin UK is on top press green to save then start scan.
This is still a work in progress once done ill look at creating a plugin to download the CustomMix.
Again thanks to rossi2000 for providing the CustomMix file

Think it would be a good idea to say that the Sky UK should be SD or Custom. If people use HD, the numbers won't match
Does anyone know if add channels by id works with hacks in cable custommix so Sky UK wouldn't need enabling?
Edit ill just stick to inserts

Hi, is this working well?
Is it easy enough to edit the file to insert a couple of HD terrestrial channels myself?
Cheers.

Yes it's working fine just a couple of tweeks depending on how you want it ie BBC and itv swaps.
For editing yes it's pretty straight forward if you want terrestrial channels added then have a look at rossies custommix http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?55903-Dsayers-custommix-importer-plugin-support-thread&p=451634&viewfull=1#post451634
He originally had terrestrial channels added but I don't have a terrestrial tuner to use it. I'll get the laptop running and try to do a post explaining how to edit/add channels for now you could have a look here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?45828-CustomLCN-CustomMix-Favourites-List-Hacks section 2 in the code box
Editing the cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml
In some cases you may want to edit the custommix ie remove BBC and ITV swaps or adding terrestrial channels I recommend using a text editor ie Notepad++ or XMLWrench.
Removing swaps
To remove as swap simply delete the swap you dont want ie BBC1 we would delete
<insert target="101" source="101" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC One -->
Adding Swaps
If you wanted to add a terrestrial channel use this as a template and change the channel numbers to suite
<insert target="106" source="109" provider="terrestrial_uk_freeview"></insert> <!-- Channel 4 +1 HD -->
Target is the channel number we want to add (106) source is the terrestrial channel number (109) and is the key of provider from which the
channel is being imported simply change the target channel number and provider number
Adding extra FTA sat channels
If you want to add extra FTA sat channels use this template and edit channel numbers to suite
<insert target="102" source="102" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC Two -->
Editing swaps
If you want to change a swap to a different channel simply edit the target number
Once you have done your edits close the editor program your using and re scan ABM
Ps if Admin think this needs editing to be worded better please feel free to do so
Small changes to the international and kids bouquet thanks to Abu for the info on another thread. FTP the cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/ and rescan ABM
Download here: 54878
Just realised I have left out Free Sport's channel and I don't think it's available on cable. What channel number would user's like it to be added to?
FreeSports added to 525
Download here: 54893
Beta Script
Small update on this I've managed to update a script to download the cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml file so you can run it using a crontimer to download weekly, daily, monthly etc
OpenVIX
Unzip CableAndFTAMix.zip and Ftp the CableAndFTAMix.sh to usr/scripts. Create the scripts folder if you haven't got one.
OpenATV
Unzip CableAndFTAMix.zip and Ftp the CableAndFTAMix.sh to usr/script. Create the script folder if you haven't got one.
OpenVIX
On box press
Menu, setup, vix, scriptrunner green to start the script
OpenATV
On box press
Menu, Info Panel, Plugins, Job Manager green to start the script
Now we need to set a crontimer to run the script
Menu > Timers > CronTimers (you may be prompted to install 'busybox-cron' - install this - box will restart)
Add a Cron Timer by pressing the Green button
Run How Often ? - Daily
Time To Execute Command Or Script - Whatever you prefer, I have 00:00
Command Type - predefined
In command to run you should see the CableAndFTAMix.sh
Press green to save then check if it says start on autostart if not yellow to start and blue to autostart
Now reboot box thats it it should download the custommix.xml daily.
Ill look at doing a plugin at a later date.
Why would you do that? Why not extend the plugin?
Is this instead of, or, as well as the Sky download?

Ok so I have edited the original plugin to make one for this CustomMix I haven't decided what to name it yet so I have just named it SatFTACustomMixImporter see attached once completed ill do an IPK.
Or maybe I could add an option to choose which version to download in the original plugin.
No. Let's make the plugin so it can be used for either.
Leave it with me.

Why are you supplying an ipk? The plugin is on the feeds.
There isn't an ipk I said that I was going to make an ipk for a separate plugin to download this xml till you said that you'll look at editing the existing plugin to download both files.
There isn't an ipk I said that I was going to make an ipk for a separate plugin to download this xml till you said that you'll look at editing the existing plugin to download both files.:confused: The plugin has been posted on T.K. forum in ipk format. :confused:
Having multiple plugins is not a good idea. Personally I think the plugin should be updated so that it works for all providers of CustomMix files, currently Dsayers and Jawz.
The plugin ipk has been on there since before you uploaded to github to download the sat.xml file not the cable.xml file and before it was available on feeds just the same as I did here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?55903-Dsayers-custommix-importer-plugin-support-thread
I can remove it if you want but yes it would be a great idea to have all custommix files available via one plugin.

Any reason for the instructions using Sly and Virmin and not the official names or was that just an example?
Thanks
Any reason for the instructions using Sly and Virmin and not the official names or was that just an example? LOL.
I just copied Jawz's instructions from his thread to use as an example.
BTW, if we are going to use this as a common plugin for everyone to use, really we should rename it. Maybe "ABM CustomMix Importer.
LOL.

Yea that would be best still confused how your going to have it to be able to download from multiple urls with different xml file names.
I did try to look at suls plugin as that downloads m3u files from different urls but it names the m3u the same. I'm not to clever at python so I'm sure you'll have a work around.
still confused how your going to have it to be able to download from multiple urls with different xml file names.:confused: You're confusing me now. We are not downloading from multiple URLs. We are downloading one URL from a group. Right?
After all it is not like you can have multiple CustomMix files for the same provider.
Yea that would be good only issue is jaws CustomMix is Sky UK with virgin Ireland and my sat custommix is Sky UK with Virgin UK so both are named the same sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml
I have the version in this thread as cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml
Yea that would be good only issue is jaws CustomMix is Sky UK with virgin Ireland and my sat custommix is Sky UK with Virgin UK so both are named the same sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xmlAnd how is that a problem?
I think I'm confusing myself lol
I thought with both files been the same name it may cause issues with them available on the same url you seem to have it covered.
I think I need some sleep lol

So now to add a new download location you just have to create an xml file. Like this and do a PR to the plugin.

Once installed I'm unable to "fetch" the dsayers file when connected through my vpn.
I use to have the vpn set up on my router but due to the router's limited processor power it resulted in slow internet speeds. I've now set up openvpn on my box instead to see if this imporves things.
When the vpn was on my router I had no issues "fetching" the file. If I disconnect from my vpn I'm able to "fetch" the dsayers file. Is there any reason why I'm unable to do this through a VPN when installed on my gigablue box?

No there should be no reason but I dont use VPN on my box so I have no way to test it. It does sound odd, maybe VPN is hammering your connection so it cant connect to GitHub
Can a mod edit first post with these instructions please thanks
Hi im starting to do a Custommix for Virgin Media UK to swap channels with FreeSat This is a VIRGIN MEDIA line-up with all the free channels from sky replacing those on the Virgin Lineup this CustomMix (Thanks to rossi2000) adds all FreeSat channels to Virgin Line up.
To test it download Dsayers CustomMix Importer
Goto plugins then green to download plugins then systemplugins and download dsayerscustommiximporter.
If you have previous versions of the CustomMix Importer installed do a software update to update to latest version or if you have installed IPK uninstall IPK then install via feeds.
Reboot box
now we need to setup Dsayers CustomMix plugin
menu>setup>service searching>Dsayer CustomMix Importer
Import needs to be Dsayers: Dsayers: Sky UK free to air channels into Virgin Media UK
Press yellow to download the xml
Change Enable autofech to yes if you want it to download the xml automatically
Lead time change this to the time you want it to download before you have abm scheduled to run.

Once done press green to save then check providers order and check Virgin UK is on top press green to save then start scan.
If you decide this isnt for you go into Dsayers CustomMix Importer and press blue to delete file then change Enable autofetch to no
Again thanks to rossi2000 for providing the CustomMix file and thanks to Huevos for creating The Dsayers CustomMix plugin

Surely wording should be FTA sky channels, not Freesat?
Surely wording should be FTA sky channels, not Freesat?
Yes sorry I didn't realise
Are these still the most up to date instructions to get the most amount of channels?
Also, what's the best setup for EPG and picons on this configuration?

Yes following post 33 I might start a new thread as this one has changed a bit.
For EPG and picons you'll be best starting a new thread but crossepg for sat and Epg Refresh for Cable works for me and picons I use from picons eu
@Dsayers, I've pushed your changes, thx. Hopefully it will build ok. BTW your PM box is full.
Has anyone managed to watch ITV PPV events over the last few fights?I haven't so I'm thinking of removing it to make room for Euro sports 4 HD then moving Sky Events down one channel for Eurosport 5 HD
I have got new CustomMix files without Sport HD Channels. For OpenATV do a software update or goto plugins red to remove plugins, system plugins choose ABM CustomMix Importer reboot box now goto plugins green to install plugins then System Plugins choose ABM CustomMix Importer and reboot box.
OpenVix will need to wait for next image release.
Now goto ABM CustomMix Importer in service searching/Tuner Config press right you should now see: Sky UK:Import Virgin channels (Without HD Sports) by DSayers and Virgin UK: Import free Sky channels (Without HD Sports) by DSayers.
Choose the version you want ie for Sky FTA channels into Virgin media line up you would choose: Virgin UK: Import free Sky channels (Without HD Sports) by DSayers then yellow to fetch file and green to save then rescan ABM.
Thank you to AbuBaniaz for the help with these changes.

Sorry I have just seen this but I don't think they will but they may be on 5.1.019
Updated ABM config files last night and custom file, scanned and now Sky Sports News HD 509 is missing. The only option is SD version 519, sky mix HD is still there. Sky sports news HD is still working as i had it on before i did the rescan.
Any ideas?

Yea I've noticed new ABM config files deletes it and my CustomMix adds SD too. I've corrected CustomMix https://github.com/davesayers2014/CustomMix_Files/commit/8366722ed1082da7f84ebe7ac194b5b2d003507c
Also made a pull request to fix ABM providers file https://github.com/oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker/pull/73
Just noticed I've posted that in the Cable CustomMix thread. My Cable CustomMix is fine just that ABM has removed Sky Sports News HD and my Cable CustomMix without sports HD channels doesn't effect 509.
When ABM remove from blacklist you can update ABM config files and rescan ABM.
I've only had to correct Sat CustomMix without sports HD channels.

Hi dsayers, thanks for doing this plugin.
One thing I have noticed is that ITV2HD, ITV3HD, ITV4HD & ITVBeHD do not clear on Freeview, it might be worth removing them so they revert back to the Virgin ones.

Dsayers, I hope you don't mind but I have added some missing channels and made some adjustments to your config file.
I have attached a zip file with both a change log and the config xml file.

I can't find an LCN section, the CustomMix file I generated was manually made with "Programmers notepad 2" and the LCN files to produce one unique provider with grouped channels.
Due to the channel organization the cable LCN file is required along side the cable CustomMix file, both are provided in the zip package I posted, along side my template LCN.
First I generated the CustomMix file, with source channels, but no target channels, and labelled added channels with an ** at the end of their channel name.
I then re-organized the cable LCN file, the template LCN file still has the added channels with their place markers, I then filled in the CustomMix file.
The CustomMix file is ordered in provider channel order, making it easier to cross-reference, starting with Freesat then Sky.
Temporarily removed BBC 1 HD to Channel 4 HD from Sat till regional issues are sorted.
Please use Dsayers Sky UK Free to air into Virgin UK not the no sport HD channels option.
With ABM finding a solution for 1 to 4 HD swaps on Sat I still need to find a solution at the moment I can only insert BBC 2 HD and channel 4 HD as they are forced to 802 and 804.
I can't insert bbc1 HD and ITV HD due to them having different numbers on different regions once I find a solution I'll update custommix.
This custom mix seems not to be working again.
I updated vix 5.1.026 deleted the custom mix plugin. Reinstalled it and set it to " Sky UK free to air into virgin media UK".
Fetched files, saved the setup and resacanned ABM but can't see and SKY FTA channels in the bouquet.

@Huevos how could I solve 1 to 5 HD imports from sat to cable with different regions using different numbers?
From what I can understand is we can't use hacks for different providers in custommix i.e. hacks for Sky UK in cable UK custommix.
I'm not sure how I can use imports for different regions.
Only other alternatives I've seen is creating custommix files for all regions or create my own Sky UK providers file with it's own name so it isn't overwritten on software updates.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I see stv HD channel hack has been added to the providers file so all that would need adding is a hack for BBC 1 HD
https://github.com/davesayers2014/AutoBouquetsMaker/blob/bc545ca088e5b0542d52c50945264addae16ce08/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers/sat_282_sky_uk.xml#L472
I think that would then cover all issues?

@Huevos how could I solve 1 to 5 HD imports from sat to cable with different regions using different numbers?
From what I can understand is we can't use hacks for different providers in custommix i.e. hacks for Sky UK in cable UK custommix. The whole service dict is available so you can do it.
e.g. BBC Two HD something like this:
target = 102 # your VM target
if "sat_282_sky_uk" in services:
for service in sorted(services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"].keys()):
if services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"][service]["channel_id"] == 2075:
customised["video"][target] = services["sat_282_sky_uk"]["video"][service]
break
Right now we are working on being able to add swaps conditionally. That way we will be able to get rid of the need to move the channels around to set numbers.

That kind of works, so would this work for regional channels ie STV or ITV HD on 113 or BBC 1 HD on 108 depending on the region same for NI thanks.
Is 115 only used for BBC 1 HD on certain regions with other regions not having anything on 115? If so with the current providers setup forcing BBC 2 HD to 802 I should be able to insert 801 and 115 to 108 providing that there isnt another channel on 115 if BBC 1 HD is on 801.

That isn't going to work after latest changes, I'll have to pull those imports.
So it is just 1 to 5 that need sorting out, right? Post the latest file and I will try to sort it out.
I think just 1 to 4 channel 5 HD should be on 805 for all regions
Targets are the following but I can adjust when I have something to edit thanks
108 = BBC 1 HD
113 = ITV HD
141 = Channel 4 HD
162 = BBC 2 HD
Try the attachment.
That seems to work thanks.
I assume this works with both ABM 2.9 and 3.0 as Ive only tested on 3.0.

Have a look at the closed issues on GitHub there is a few issues with STV on Scottish West and East Midlands ITV channel swaps. https://github.com/oe-alliance/AutoBouquetsMaker/issues/75
Thanks to Abu for testing this code.

I checked last night, it wasn't there. quest hd in test mode still
Paramount HD still testing as well
I couldn't find FreeSports HD it looks like its been removed from testing
File updated with Virgins latest re shuffle https://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?59763-Virgin-chanel-lineup-changes&p=472467#post472467
In ABM CustomMix Importer fetch file then rescan ABM or leave it to next scheduled scan
Please let me know if you see any duplicate channels.
Channel 124 is Paramount HD and states "Service not found" (SID not found in PAT)
If i go to sats and then cable services and choose the 1st paramount hd in the list it works correctly 707.0 MHz 6952 QAM256 3/4
Are you aware of this?

Yes it's been highlighted here https://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?59764-Heads-up-VM-channels 187 should work
I didn't want to make changes to these channels incase virgin change them again, I'll take a look this weekend.
I modified my Cable xml file and added the non-working services to the "Remove some services unless in netID whitelist" section. Maybe the best way of doing it as the UKTV channels are looking unlikely to return in the short term.
I already have the sat FTA versions in vacant slots, I'll just probably use deletes to remove none working versions. Or maybe move working versions to new slots and delete duplicates
Can premier sports 2 and Quest HD be added please :thumbsup:
Can premier sports 2 and Quest HD be added please :thumbsup:
Done, Quest HD on 194 and moved Front runner to 554 allowing Premier Sports 2 on 552.

Not sure why, but the plugin isn't showing in the menu for me. It used to...
I have checked and I can see it in SystemPlugins and if I uninstall it the folder is removed from there too.
Running the latest OV 032 on Xtrend 9500
Definitely named ABM CustomMix Importer.
Menu, setup, tuner config
Plugin will only show if ABM is available.
Hmm.. Strange..
I have ABM, it's configured and working ok. This plugin was installed and configured and working ok too up until recently.
Even updated the ABM plugin from the other thread to see if this would help.
Suppose i'll have to backup my settings and reflash without any plugins.
Gold HD is supposed to be available from the 15th :thumbsup:

Hi Huevos could this be modified for Virgin UK regional changes, some regions now have BBC1 on 101 or 108 same for BBC2 HD HD 102 162 im not sure if ITV is the same.
I was thinking
found_bbc1 = False
found_bbc2 = False
found_itv = False
found_c4 = False
if "cable_uk_virgin"" in services:
for service in range(101, 201)
if service in services["cable_uk_virgin"]["video"] and services["cable_uk_virgin"]["video"][service]["service_type"] in DvbScanner.HD_ALLOWED_TYPES:
if services["cable_uk_virgin"]["video"][service]["service_name"].lower().startswith('bbc one'):
target_bbc1 = 108
Or can I use conditional inserts like conditional swaps?

Or can I use conditional inserts like conditional swaps?Hi, sorry I missed this. What are you trying to do?
Virgin BBC and itv channels had a re shuffle. Some regions have the hd versions on 101 to 103 if there's a local HD version. For me bbc1 HD is on 108 sd 101 BBC 2 HD on 102 with no SD version, ITV SD on 103 HD version 113. Some regions are different.
I've had reports the issue is the same for channel 4
Yes but what are you trying to do? What do you want moved where?
I'm wanting to move sat FTA HD into where the cable HD versions are. So if a region has cable BBC2 HD on 102 it will replace with the sat version same if it's on 108.
Something like this (not tested):
source = "sat_282_sky_uk"
dest = "cable_uk_virgin"
move_dict = {
'bbc one': {"source": None, "dest": None},
'bbc two': {"source": None, "dest": None},
}
if source in services and dest in services:
for key in move_dict.keys():
for service in range(101, 201):
if service in services[source]["video"] and \
services[source]["video"][service]["service_type"] in DvbScanner.HD_ALLOWED_TYPES and \
services[source]["video"][service]["service_name"].lower().startswith(key):
move_dict[key]["source"] = service
if service in services[dest]["video"] and \
services[dest]["video"][service]["service_type"] in DvbScanner.HD_ALLOWED_TYPES and \

for key in move_dict.keys():
if move_dict[key]["source"] and move_dict[key]["dest"]:
customised["video"][move_dict[key]["dest"]] = services[source]["video"][move_dict[key]["source"]]
Thanks I'll test later tonight and give feedback.

It worked for BBC 1HD but not BBC 2HD so I tried adding itv1 and channel 4
source = "sat_282_sky_uk"
dest = "cable_uk_virgin"
move_dict = {
'bbc one': {"source": None, "dest": None},
'bbc two': {"source": None, "dest": None},

'channel 4': {"source": None, "dest": None},

This added BBC1 HD and Channel 4HD but still didn't add BBC2 HD or ITV HD
I know why it wasn't adding bbc2 and itv hd because they are in the sky uk secondary bouquet so I added for service in range(101, 201) + range(801, 900): the code now looks like
source = "sat_282_sky_uk"
dest = "cable_uk_virgin"
move_dict = {
'bbc one': {"source": None, "dest": None},
'bbc two': {"source": None, "dest": None},

This adds all apart from ITV HD but im not sure if this is because of various regional names.
Are the names the same on VM and sat? Post the exact names on both.
After step one is complete print the dict to see what it contains.

Sat is ITV Yorkshire HD VM is ITV HD
After step one is complete print the dict to see what it contains.
Sorry I'm not sure how to print dict
print move_dictJust put that between the 2 steps and it will save the output in the debug log.

Hopefully this is what you need

Sorry I just realised I was editing the custommix here is the output for itv
<371896.094> {'bbc one': {'dest': 108, 'source': 115}, 'itv': {'dest': 179, 'source': 803}, 'bbc two': {'dest': 102, 'source': 802}, 'channel 4': {'dest': 141, 'source': 138}}
So looking at the code its adding to 179 althogh ITV HD for cable is on 113
'itv': {'dest': 179, 'source': 803}
What channel is at 179? Is 803 correct?
'itv': {'dest': 179, 'source': 803}
What channel is at 179? Is 803 correct?
803 for sat is correct. With the code it adds ITV Yorkshire HD to 179 but it is normally ITVBe HD on 179
Where is the itv you are trying to replace?
Where is the itv you are trying to replace?
For my region 113 named ITV HD
The idea is this file works for all regions. Are you changing it somehow for different regions?
The idea is this file works for all regions. Are you changing it somehow for different regions?
No it seems cable split regions like sat did so HD channel numbers are at different slots. Some all 1 to 3 HD others just BBC1 HD on 101 or BBC2 HD on 102. Im not sure of all the regional channel number changes maybe others can state what BBC 1 to ITV HD channel numbers are.
The alternatives are in the same postion so if BBC1 HD is on 101 I think BBC1 SD should be on 108, Im not sure if all regions have now removed BBC2 SD and just adding BBC2 HD to 102.
Im just trying to make something that will replace the cable HD version wherever the cable version is meant to be with the sat HD version
See first 4 channels here
https://www.tvchannellists.com/List_of_channels_on_Virgin_Media_(UK)
101 (Scot, Wales, NI) BBC One HD 108 (Eng)
101 (Eng)BBC One SD [English region]
102 BBC Two HD
103 (Eng, Wales, NI)ITV or UTV sd
103 (Scot)STV HD
104 (London)Channel 4 HD 141 (UK, except London)
104 (UK, except London)Channel 4 SD
For my region 113 named ITV HDOk, so what is happening is 113 is getting saved to "move_dict" but we continue searching and then it finds another match at 179 and overwrites the first match. So we need to avoid that happening.

TBH, the whole idea of matching by channel name is pretty fragile. Where SkyUK is the source you could be using "channel_id".

That is not going to work as the file is being used for more than one areaShould work because we are looking for the first instance. So you are just checking:

Sorry that was a typo it added source 118 ITV2 HD TO 113.

No, it is not over complicated. You just add "stv" or "utv" to your move dict. Then if you are in Scotland and your cable has "STV" and you pick Sky Scotland, it will do the swap.
Main point is to try to write an algorithm that works fo all cases. That way you can just make changes to the dict to add new channels.
Changes made here for regional issues thanks to @Huevos https://github.com/davesayers2014/CustomMix_Files/commit/c47f1a76d48d3e2fcd9ebb230364c8de8f427d8e users please report any issues and ill try to amend as soon as possible. Thanks
