Up ya arse!
Now that I have a box with both Sat and Cable tuners I'm looking for advice on how to manage and arrange bouquets. To date I've always used Rats (thanks Rat :)) Sat SD bouquet with a few minor changes. For the cable tuner I used the ABM to scan which created a set of bouquets for Virgin. I then dumped the contents of the bouquet on the box after the scan and then edited the bouquet to arrive at a mish-mash of Sat and Cable channels.

What I'd like to know is is there an easier way to manage the bouquets or will I have to manually make the changes each time there is a change?

I know I could just have 2 sets of bouquets and just trundle up and down the bouquet list but I want to make things easy for the wife and kids.
 
I believe it maybe possible with ABM to use both $ky and VM as you can now customise it a lot.

With ABM installed view readme file at:

"/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom/README.txt"

I'm guessing it would take awhile to setup but once done hopefully it could keep your channels up-to-date for you.

There is more info on WoS, or alternatively, @Abu Baniaz maybe able to help you more :)

I've played around with ABM before but when Rat does such a good job apart from setting it up and then having a quick play I went back to Rats bouquets.

Going to maybe spend some time over the weekend having a look at ABM.
 
I use both, set up abm to show both channel lists then run rats and go back to abm and scan that.

Sent you a PM :)
 
File goes in teh custom folderwithin ABM. Run ABM using custom or SD lineup. You do not have to create the official bouquets.

Have a look at line 98. This is where I added in a channel from DTT. You can either edit it to use the channels from cable in the locations you want, or you can use a custom mix file to import them. The custom mix files in the public so far are based on HD numbering, so no use to you.

With the macros that can be included I suppose the skys the limits in terms of what you can do.
 
@IAmATeaf

Can you try this? Place in custom folder.

I cannot get ABM to download from the plugins. Keeps failing. Is it possible to setup my Star LC for VM using RatsBouquets only. Or do I need ABM too?
 
hi

does anyone have a custom cable list that removes the sd movies and sports just done a scan today and there is to of hd a sd channels..

Thanks
 
Enigma 2 will always find the non-working channels unless you are in a pure area. The only way to stop them is to disable background scanning and not to conduct an Enigma2 scan. Use ABM instead. This obviously has consequences.
 
ok thanks

is there any way to edit the hd cable file so when i do a scan it does not keep replacing all the sd sport channels ect.just like the one posted in this thread..

I don't understand what you mean by "HD cable file".

How are you "scanning"?

What do you want to achieve? Please don't use jargon, speak in simple terms.
An example simple description is:
In position 401, I have Sky Sports 1 satellite. I want Sky sports 1 cable.
 
The file in this thread was a long time ago. Things have changed. Needs at the time are different to needs now.

Nobody is a mind reader, you need to explain your requirements differently. Also state what files you are using.
 
jargon haha..

I scan with ABM cable channels only which created the bouquets for me which is fine.

So when i look inside lets say movies there is all the sky movies in hd which is what i want HD channel. then i scroll down i see all the same sky movies but they are the sd version which i do not want.

just like (bbc sd) i only want (bbc hd)

i like to scan once a week to keep the channels up to date

So iam asking if anyone has a guide or can anyone help me create a custom xml file so it deletes the SD channels in the movies & sports folders.

just like the one you posted for satellite called favourites

not to good at putting thinks in to word..

Thanks
 
so you do not have sky sports 1 hd.. you only have sky sports 1 ok..

i was only asking for help info nothing else.

Thanks
 
You have to use a custom mix file with deletes.

List the channel numbers you want to delete. list each number on separate lines in a txt file and attach them. Someone will start you off.

Questions are only asked to help you better. If people don't understand what you want properly, they will give you wrong information or wont give you the help you need.

Anyway, once you attach your list of numbers to delete, we can progress.
