    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

    Download Here cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml

    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?

    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/sh...l=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/sh...tes-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
    Code:
    <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

    Code:
    <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

    Code:
    <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

    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?

    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.
