How it Works:
RBM basically retrieves the latest official sky bouquets (as published by Sky) channel number location and RBM then sorts and places them how you want them in your bouquets (known as favourites).
What you Need:
You will need the latest favourites.xml file from DW uploader server (in RBM folder).
You will need an xml editor and I use Notepad++ for this (and it's a handy replacement for official windows Notepad application).
How favourites.xml file is made up:
The favourites.xml file is split into two sections. The first section are the bouquets sections and what channel number they start from (for each individual bouquet section).
The second part of favourites.xml file are actual channels and what order you want them in. Eg:
The "target" channel number is what channel number it will be in your preferred order (aka Rats order) and the "source" channel number is the channel number it actually appears officially on Sky (aka Sky order).
So the line:
This line basically moves the "Sky1" channel (which officially uses sky channel number "106") to the channel "6" position in your preferred ordering of channels. For the time being you don't need to worry about what the other things do on that line except bit at the end (eg <!--Sky1 --> is just a comment that informs us that official sky 106 channel is named "Sky1").
Example of how to Add a new channel at end of say Entertainment section:
Say you wanted to add a new channel known as "Rats World" which has just started broadcasting on official sky channel number of 567...
Within the favourites.xml file, locate the last channel in the entertainment section before the next section starts. Currently the last channel in "entertainment" section is channel 96 (according to your order) and this channel is named "BET:BlackEntTv".
So now I would highlight and copy this entire line again and paste it immediately below it so it looks like:-
Then I would rename the target channel number of the last line so it reads "97" instead of "96" and then change the source channel number so it reads "567" (as in above example) and then change channel name at end from "BET:BlackEntTv" to "Rats World".
So then this now looks like (i've highlighted just the bits i've changed):
Save favourites.xml and test it:
Once your changes are done, I would save file and test it before placing it on server for others. You need to FTP the file over to
over-writing the existing favourites.xml file. Once done, then just go into RBM and do another scan and check it's worked as it should.
If it is fine then upload this favourites.xml file to DW upload server (within the RBM folder).
That's it!!!!
Example of how to Insert a new in between two channel within the Entertainment section:
Say you wanted to insert a new channel known as "Sky2 +1" which has just started broadcasting on official sky channel number of 188 just after the existing channel "Sky2"...
Within the favourites.xml file, locate the "Sky2" channel in the entertainment section. Currently this channel in "entertainment" section is channel 8 (according to your order) and this channel is named "Sky2". Eg:
I would then insert an empty line directly below the current channel "8" line. I would then highlight the channel "8" line and copy and paste this line directly below (and into the empty line space you just left).
Then on this new line you've just copied/pasted, change the target to "9" (from 8) and source to "188" (from source "129" and channel description to "Sky2 +1" from "Sky 2".
As you will see you now have two channel "9" so you will have to re-number the existing channels in the Entertainment bouquet section after this new line so they're all consecutive. When done, hopefully it should look like:
