AutoBouquets E2 28.2E plug-in

I still feeeling my way around this plug-in, but it seems great so far .......





I can highly recommend AutoBouquets E2 28.2E

Updates your E2 box with Sly numbered bouquet set specifically for YOUR region. You set your region in the menu.

I've mine set to "Northern Ireland HD", so I get the BBC and ITV channels downloaded for NI and it means I also get the ROI channels on 161, 162 & 163. No editing required.

It can be tailored to only download specific bouquets and can be scheduled to run overnight.

Fantastic plug-in if you want regional Sly numbered setup without the need to modify existing bouquets.

It bascially fully automates the Sly numbering and automatically keeps it up to date. I'll be using SGTFlipFlop's non-Sly bouquets to compliment the auto bouquets though.




Options for AutoBouquets E2 28.2E

Use HD First Bouquet
Puts the HD channels starting at position 6 immediately after 1-5 (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4, C5 for your region).

Show Channel Numbers
Puts the channel number in front of the channel name. ?104 ? Channel 4?, instead of ?Channel 4?.

Use Internal NIT Scan
Doesn?t seem to make any difference? Finds new/modified transponders. It doesn't seem to make any difference because the transponders rarely change. The only changes in the last few months are the BBC HD transponder changing to 8PSK, C4 HD transponder changing back to DVB-S, the Olympic transponders closing, and a couple of switches to HD.

Use Pli Placeholders
Only works on images using an OpenPLi base. It skips the placeholders. If set to YES, it doesn?t keep the Sly numbering on my DM800HD SE running Dream Elite 3. Works on VIX on my Duo.

Create Child Friendly
Guessing it parental locks some bouquets

Make Default Bouquets


Custom Channel Order
Allows you to re-order the Sly channels?

Scheduled Update Scan
Runs the plug-in at the specified time





Attached the 20160609 version, along with my own Custom Swap file.

I should add that all I did to get it running was to ftp the ipk file to my /tmp folder and install it.

I also set the Area to Northern Ireland
HD Bouquet: Yes
Numbered: Yes
NIT Scan: Yes
Placeholder: No for my Dreambox, Yes for my Duo
Parental: Yes
Default: Yes
Custom: No
FTA Only: No

It took about 10 minutes to complete.

Restart Enigma 2

The new bouquet was "prepended" to my existing bouquets.

I just ftp-ed the ipk file to the /tmp folder on my box and installed it from there.

On my VIX box, I went to Menu-->Setup-->VIX-->Install Local Extension.

Reboot

The plug-in should now appear in your plug-ins menu. Just start it from there and go through the set-up, then run it and it will automatically download the bouquets.

Same for my DM800HD SE, except to install I went to Menu-->Setup-->Software Management-->Install local extension

I did not need to install dvbsnoop. It was either there or installed automatically by the plug-in.

You may have to manually install DVBSnoop on some OpenPLi images.

I keep the OpenPLI placeholders off on all non-PLi images and only use the Default folders on the initial scan, then remove that option so any manual changes remain. With HD as 1st set, the HD channels do show in the 1st Bouquet but you may want that set to No to better display the channel numbers if your skin shows channel numbers.

BTW, there is also an Alpha for a 13e version on the developers site.

Im a complete novice to all this and im feeling my way through...

1. when you say "I just ftp-ed the ipk file to the /tmp folder on my box and installed it from there." did you extract the file from the zip folder? when i just ftp'ed the .ipk file nothing was recognised by the box
2. what programme did you used to ftp? I have Filezilla

thanks in advance

[Popsy08]

I ftp the .ipk filew to my /tmp folder but nothing is being picked up when i goto Menu-->Setup-->Software Management-->Install local extension.. what am I doing wrong? .. (DM800HD)

I get an option "Please select Medium to be scanned" 1.Internal flash <-- is the only option

when i select it i get an error message "No displayable files on this medium found!"

help!!

From what I can gather, this plug-in reads it's information directly from the satellite stream and uses the same bouquets as Sly. The purpose seems to be removing the work involved in manual editing and freq updating of bouquets as when it runs (I've set it to daily) it will automatically pick up any frequency changes/channel moves.

Note that you can amend the normal Sly channel order for your region by using the custom order option that's included. For anyone who want the Sly channel setup, I can't see why anyone would use manual bouqets other than as a backup.

As it uses it's own generated bouqets, it doesn't touch existing bouquets, therefore, the answer to updating existing bouquets is no. In fact, if you delete one of it's generated bouquets, it will not generate that deleted bouquet on the next run.

ok mate thanks for your info

hi guys, thanks for a brilliant plugin. I've just installed it, but there are a few issues:-

1. The plugin has left the original SGTFlipflop bouquets, so was i supposed to delete them first?

2. I want Autobouquets to be able to scan and update any channel frequencies, but i want to keep the order of channels that i choose. For example I want to keep BBC ONE HD in the first bouquet...how can i do this?
