Vix Hades ABM Issues

[^^COMPASS^^]

I have selected "Custom Tyne" in Auto Bouquets Maker providers list.
Generated the Bouquets

In the second Bouquet Entertainment Im seeing the following

BBC One HD & not BBC One NE&C
BBC Two HD & not BBC Two Eng
ITV HD & not ITV tyne tees
Channel 4 HD & not channel 4 North

That's how it's meant to work now. The swap channels swaps the SD for HD channels in all bouquets

[goosegog]

Does custom mean you can rearange yourself ie:swap itv hd with itv tyne tees and it will not be overwritten on daily download back to itv hd?

custom means its not an official bouquet and inserts some irish channels into free slots within the bouquets that you'd otherwise have to enable sky roi for.
The swap option swaps SD/HD channels based on the swap list in the provider file.

Custom LCN is another thing altogether

So what your saying here chaps is this is correct? Surely not

If i select Custom Tyne and enable Uk Swap Channels its correct for me to watch ITV Granada ? (that's not how it should be surely)
If i select Custom Tyne and Disable Uk Swap Channels My regional Channels appear in Both All Channels & Entertainment Bouquets (this is the only way to get my regional channels to appear)

[abu baniaz]

Correct.

To recap
If you select "region custom" instead of "region sd" or "region hd" it will skip the unavailable hd channels

If you enable swap, all instances of the swaps will take effect. (previously this only happened in the main bouquet)
Condition for swap to occur
Both numbers must exist
Target must be HD

Don't forget that you can make the "main" bouquet = HD chnnels. If you have "region custom" selected only the avaiolable HD cahnenls will be there.

I live in Tyneside & we don't have any regional HD Channels,
so were expected to watch HD Channels from Manchester as our Regionals?

Up here what you have done regarding the swaps is a step in the wrong direction.
the missus went off on one when here Local ITV Tyne Tees Channel was replaced by ITV HD Granada

and you can copy the provider to create your own and remove channels from the swap list if you want anything different.

Your regional channels are still there by the way - they're just on the channel number where the HD channel was... hence it's called a swap.

Swap channels in the provider file (can be found here - /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers) looks like:

<swapchannels>
		<channel number="101" with="141" /><!-- BBC One HD -->
		<channel number="102" with="142" /><!-- BBC Two HD -->
		<channel number="103" with="178" /><!-- ITV HD -->
		<channel number="104" with="227" /><!-- Channel 4 HD -->
		<channel number="105" with="171" /><!-- Channel 5 HD -->
		<channel number="115" with="210" /><!-- BBC Three HD -->
		<channel number="116" with="211" /><!-- BBC Four HD -->
		<channel number="123" with="269" /><!-- ITV Encore HD -->		
		<channel number="162" with="224" /><!-- RTE2 HD -->
		<channel number="413" with="426" /><!-- BT Sport 1 HD -->
		<channel number="414" with="427" /><!-- BT Sport 2 HD -->
		<channel number="417" with="433" /><!-- ESPN HD -->		
		<channel number="437" with="490" /><!-- BoxNation HD -->	
		<channel number="501" with="516" /><!-- Sky News HD -->
		<channel number="512" with="518" /><!-- RT HD -->
		<channel number="503" with="570" /><!-- BBC News HD -->
		<channel number="613" with="633" /><!-- CBBC HD -->
		<channel number="614" with="624" /><!-- CBeebies HD -->
	</swapchannels>

If you want to create your own provider as you want a mix of SD and HD.

1. copy the "sat_282_sky_uk.xml" file found in

   /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/providers

   and give it a different name, otherwise it could be overwritten on updates
2. Edit the name to something different:

   <name>Sky (UK)</name>

3. Make any changes, e.g. remove any swaps from the swap list
4. Change your provider to the one you just named

If you don't want to do this, just use the SD area, but then the HD channels will be at their correct 'sky' number, e.g. BBC2 = 142, and not 102

[goosegog]

thanks fellas for replies,sorry if this is wrong and dumb but i dont see what choosing sd region gives you now

[pembo]

I use the custom, but...I'm pretty sure (and Abu will correct if I'm wrong!)

As below

Custom with swap = a mixed list with the HD channels that clear in place of the SD ones up front (e.g. 101=BBC One HD, 106 = Sky One) plus some IRE channels

[abu baniaz]

SD region will give you the same lineup as if you had an SD Sky receiver.

HD will provide lineup as if you had HD receiver

That's not the answer i was looking for, it would be overwritten by each online update (yes i could write a script to lock down "sat_282_sky_uk.xml"

The whole idea is to have the latest features that abm has to offer, which would include your
1. BBC ITV & Channel 4 HD Channels In All Channels.
2.regional channels in Entertainment bouquets.
the grief Im getting off my beloved wife is unbelievable pleased she's watching Geordie Shore atm.

You have totally written the Tyne region out of ABM in My View
If your saying this not possible then this topic is over and i will go back to Lukes Custom XML file
