anyone ??

even if some one could show me how to setup BBC News HD into the entertainment section would be a big help...
if i could do that then I could probably figure out the others

thanks

HI,
I have ABM 2.3 installed on open VIX

I have the following settings

e7b3b49079.png

i edited the providers sat_282_sky_irl.xml file slightly to change some of the channel groupings.

I then renamed the EXAMPLE_sd_sat_282_sky_irl_CustomLCN.xml file to sd_sat_282_sky_irl_CustomLCN.xml.
I then edited this file to reorganise my channels in the order i wanted.

these file are attached.

For some reason I cant get the entertainment section to show the channels the way i want them

below is the screenshot after i loaded in the modified sd_sat_282_sky_irl_CustomLCN.xml file.

I've tried this loads of times but get the entertainments section different / wrong every time ...

could someone look at these and help identify my mistake ?

many thanks

Ooh..... ABM plugin.....Ok thanks, that might explain a lot of the confusion,I can't see the ABM in the plugins ...
When I chick the remote plugin button ... It only shows me the AB plugin, how can I see where the ABM plugin is and how do I uninstall it ?
Thanks?

What do you mean by this? The plugin has a feature to run automatically and update bouquets.

[BG] ok - thanks I wasnt sure if it updated the bouquets - or actually updated the plugin version of sw currently installed ... you've answered my question it updates the Bouquest - thanks

AB 28.2 only updates the bouquets it makes. It does not touch any other bouquets. Are you sure youa re not mixing up with another set of bouquets? I have run three automated updates to check your reporrted issue. Ther were no duplicates if the bouquets AB 28.2 makes

[BG] I've attached a few images of the channel lists / bouquest. hope you can see them.

I made a bit of a mess when capturing these images ... so a apologies,

when i first installed the AB and scanned i got a full list if folders with channels in them. Looking at the first image up beyond where the cursor / arrow in the picture - was the first list of folders with channels ... ( you cant see it on the image, apologies , but they are there, including the first' entertainment' bouquet /folder'

The next morning when i Checked ( after the first autoupdate scan) i could see all the additional folders , take note of the entertainment folder in image 1.jpg, that ( along with all th eother folders underneath it ) were not there the first day ( before the autoupdate scan), they look like duplicates of bouquets i have the first day

then after the next day ( again another autoupdate took place during the early hours ) when i checked i got another set of folders ( same names ) ... see the second image) ... this is the 3rd instance of 'enterainment' folders ( plus all the other folders underneath ... so it seems that the autoupdae scan is adding a new set of bouquets, rather than overwriting the existng ones

this is possibly a setting .. but i cant figure it out ....

note : the channel order in the first entertainment folder do not match the second or the third folders ..
hence why I'm asking the question on the custom_sort files ..

[I]You should have asked your question in the existing thread of yours.

These tell the plugin in what order to make the contents of the bouquets it makes. You should only concern yourself with sort 3. Read the file with a linux compatible editor like notepad++ and it should make sense. They are just channel numbers prefixed with the bouquet number.

For example, if in the entertainment bouquet you wanted

sky sports 1
bbc news hd
colors

your sort file would be like this

1=402
1=570
1=821

It is for reference purposes and produced at end of process. Channel numbers and for other values you can use for hacks. Best not to delve into that at this stage. You do not need to concern yourself with this file; The plugin will keep recreating it after each run.

ok, I think i understand the layout of the sort file .. I have amended the sort3 file for my preferences ... but surely this does not get recreated with very rescan ?...
Also if the custom3 allows you to set you own channel listings and order .. what is the purpose of the custom_swap file ?..

for my own curiosity - what does the custom sot 1 and custom 2 file represent .. i've viewed them and am trying to figure out how the listings and order of channels is reflected in the bouquets.

take for example - if there is only one 'entertainment' bouquet surely there can only be one sort file that references that .. so what does the sort 2 file reference ?

I appreciate your help with this

Hi, I have AB installed and setup to auto updates set to daily.

Is auto updates updating the bouquets or the plugin aw ?
Every time I check after the update have finished .. It added a whole new set of bouquet folders , seems like duplicates of the original. ... Why is this happening ?

I still can't figure out the custom sort files
Can someone give an explain atom of what these do and how the are used by the plugin ?

Auto bouquet.csv ... Where does this come into the picture ?

Many thanks

Hi
I'm trying to figure out how the Custom_sort / Custom_Swop feature works

I've edited the Custom_sort_3 file .. but dosnt seem to make a difference
What is the purpose of the 3 Custom sort files ?
are there any other settings I need to switch on/off after editing this file ?
How is this different to the Custom_Swap file

has anyone got a readme file with examples or a link ?
would be much appreciated

thanks
