Just copy the sky provider... Then it won't be overwritten on each update as post 11

That's a non starter, as that's no Different to Lukes Custom XML

the whole idea is to progress with abm but its stepping sideways

The file is slightly different in Hades... I don't know if zzl file still works...
No point putting obstacles in the way of every suggestion... Won't change anything, that power is in your own hands...

still carnt see what picking SD region gives you differant than HD region with swap enabled

[Huevos]

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

Not sure what you mean by this. The channel selection is set by the provider, it's nothing to do with us. In your case 103 is Tyne Tees TV North, and 178 is Granada HD. All swap does is swap those channels. If you don't want to swap select "no".

Look here for the sd/hd diffs

Then look at the swap list I posted to understand what swaps with swap enabled

[Huevos]

SD with swap enabled will give you BBC One HD at position 101. HD with swap disabled will give you your local BBC1 at position 101.

We also have Custom LCN built into the image for quite a while now.
Have a look in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/ for instructions.
But like Huevos says, don't use swap if you don't want to.

thanks,yes i understand but in apollo when selecting sd region and swap enabled in enterainment bouquet there would be your regional sd im sure.hard too please everyone i know.
if i place regional channels in favourites does this not get overwritten?

This is How it was before Hades using SKy UK (SD) with HD Swap Channel set to yes pics attached,

But now its HD Channels at the start of both bouquets using Custom Tyne and swap!

If you turn the swap off it reverts to SD at the start of both bouquets

This change to ABM was made clear in the ABM change log thread

Why don't you just delete the line that swaps ITV.

I hope she does not start pointing out that BBC 1 HD not having transmissions all the time.

There are only a few channels swapped anyway.

its HD Channels at the start of both bouquets using Custom Tyne and swap!

Some people just want to create a main bouquet. Some people just want to create sections. It doesn't make any sense that those lists would not be identical.

If you want HD channels in the first bouquet and SD channels in the sections, select "main bouquet = HD only".

Or if you want to just avoid swapping the ITV channel make a CustomLCN file just with those channels. That would reside permanently on the box and not get affected by updates to the providers file.

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/sd_sat_282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml

<custom>
	<include>yes</include>
	<lcnlist>
		<configuration lcn="178" channelnumber="103" description="ITV"></configuration>
		<configuration lcn="103" channelnumber="178" description="ITV HD"></configuration>
	</lcnlist>
</custom>

If your saying this not possible then this topic is over and i will go back to Lukes Custom XML file

Using that won't solve your issue.

And lastly if none of the above answers are of any help, if you have HD swap enabled and you want to watch your non-simulcast ITV SD regional just key in "178" on your remote.

The swap changes were communicated in post 30 of the chaneglog thread.

I have tried all avenues & she who must be obeyed is still not satisfied,

I thought maybe HD channels in the first bouquet and SD channels in the sections would be fine but sadly not as it messed her numbers up.

Even tried a custom LCN but no joy.

So i have opted for Custom Tyne and swap and it's a matter of regional channels on 141 & 178

If all that don't help then i have only one option left to downgrade to AutoBouquetsMaker v2.2(1152)
& write a lock script to lock down the directory before each online update,
But hopefully she will get accustomed to the changes.


Thanks to all who have given me hints and tips in this thread.

Please explain... What does "her numbers" mean. The purpose of the plugin is to follow the numbering of the broadcaster, which is what it is doing in my test.
