    Question How can I add radio stations to ABM?

    When I add my custom mix file as below I get the BBC Two Eng TV channel instead of Radio 2.

    Code:
    <custommix>
    	<sections>
    		<section number="1">Sky Fan</section>
    	</sections>
    	<inserts>
    		<insert target="001" source="115" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- BBC One HD -->
    		<insert target="002" source="0102" provider="sat_282_sky_uk"></insert> <!-- Radio 2 -->
    		</inserts>
    </custommix>
    I couldn't see anything mentioned in the instruction file about how to add radio stations.

    Also when I press the Blue button for Favourites I have my Custom Category Sky Fan listed but also various categories such as Sports, News, etc. Why isn't Radio listed as a category?

    How can I add radio stations to ABM?

    As mentioned to you before, your imports must use numbers ABM uses. Please look at the example files in the ABM custom folder to obtain numbers.

    102 and 0102 are different on Sky, but not so in ABM and possibly Enigma2.

    It is not possible to do what you want at the moment with ABM.

    So you're saying I can't have a radio channel in ABM? Why's it not possible?
    Any idea if that feature will be added in the future?

    How can I add radio stations to ABM?

    You can, they are in the radio bouquets.


    We've not coded for mixes involving radio channels. Main issue was mentioned above. We discussed it for the terrestrial provider as the numbers start at 700, so could be made into one list of TV and radio.



    You really ought to pursue the other thread of yours about radio button.



    There is an option to show radio and TV services together in Enigma2. I can't remember where it is.



    Please review how your posts come across. We are not employed by you. We do this as a hobby. You are welcome to make changes to the coding and submit a request to merge them.

    Sorry. I'm just a bit frustrated. You suggested I buy the Tiviar receiver but the Radio button on the remote doesn't do anything and I can't create a custom bouquet with ABM because it doesn't support radio channels. Can you please tell me where the radio bouquets are that you mentioned? How do I access them?

    You can move radio stations to other bouquets but this must be done with "hacks" as only video services can be moved with xml.

    Here is what it says in the readme file about "hacks".

    Hacks
    -----

    "Hacks" is available in "Favourites" and "CustomMix". "Hacks" allows Python code to be use to
    modify the channel list and sections markers, sort channels by name, make a "+1" bouquet, etc, etc,
    and that this can be done dynamically rather than just creating static lists. With "Hacks" the sky
    really is the limit in what bouquets can be created by ABM. Here's how "Hacks" looks in a CustomMix
    file.

    [...]

    "Hacks" is provided for those with the ability to use it and there will only be basic support
    for this feature.
    So you will need to learn some basic Python coding and read the code if you want to be able to use this.

    You can create a custom bouquet with the free version of e-channelizer:
