Cable and FTA Sky UK CustomMix

[dsayers]

Thanks I'll test later tonight and give feedback.

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 \
				services[dest]["video"][service]["service_name"].lower().startswith(key):
				move_dict[key]["dest"] = service

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"]]

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},
	'itv': {"source": None, "dest": None},
	'channel 4': {"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 \
				services[dest]["video"][service]["service_name"].lower().startswith(key):
				move_dict[key]["dest"] = service

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"]]

This added BBC1 HD and Channel 4HD but still didn't add BBC2 HD or ITV HD

[dsayers]

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

if source in services and dest in services:
	for key in move_dict.keys():
		for service in range(101, 201) + range(801, 900):
			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 \
				services[dest]["video"][service]["service_name"].lower().startswith(key):
				move_dict[key]["dest"] = service

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"]]

This adds all apart from ITV HD but im not sure if this is because of various regional names.

[Huevos]

Are the names the same on VM and sat? Post the exact names on both.

[Huevos]

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

[Huevos]

print move_dict

Just put that between the 2 steps and it will save the output in the debug log.

Hopefully this is what you need

<371376.241> {'bbc one': {'dest': 108, 'source': 115}, 'channel 4': {'dest': 141, 'source': 138}, 'bbc two': {'dest': 102, 'source': 802}, 'ITV Yorkshire': {'dest': None, 'source': None}}

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

[Huevos]

'itv': {'dest': 179, 'source': 803}

What channel is at 179? Is 803 correct?

[dsayers]

'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

[Huevos]

Where is the itv you are trying to replace?

[dsayers]

Where is the itv you are trying to replace?

For my region 113 named ITV HD

[Huevos]

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
