06 July 2012 - closure of "Pub Channel" fubars bottom end of bouquets and some movie channels revert to 'English AC3' or 'NAR' audio after AutoBouquets has been run

__________________________________________________ ___

If you have NOT customized your /var/bin/autoscan_stop script - simply FTP the attached update.zip eazy-installer to the/var/etc folder 'AS-IS'. please.

Reboot your box from the Main Menu, and both issues are now fixed. Please continue to read the Before you next run AutoBouquets section lower down!

If you HAVE modified your bouquets ordering in that script, our update fix will undo your work. So you'll probably want to edit the fixes in manually. Here's what to do:

/var/bin/autoscan_start --- add the new red line #13 after the existing line:

bouquets=/tmp/currentbouquets.xml
cp -f /var/tuxbox/config/zapit/audio.pid /tmp

/var/bin/autoscan_stop -- replace this line #125:

retln "Pub Channel"; bq13=$ln
with this one:
retln "Renault TV"; bq13=$ln

LraiZer reckons that fundamental changes like this to the first channel in each BskyB stream bouquet will be as rare as rocking horse shit, so this shouldn't be a regular exercise.

finally, further down in the same script, at around line #189, insert the new line in red between existing:

rm -f /tmp/*.xml
mv -f /tmp/audio.pid $sbpath
pzapit -c


Before you next run AutoBouquets

Zap through all your Sly Movies one by one from start to finish, pressing the GREEN button on each. Check the Audio is English and make it so, if it's on (AC3) or NAR. Press OK and make sure you have sound. If not, hit the green button again and select English again. Sound normally works on the second try- press OK and UP arrow to the next channel and repeat the sequence.

When finished, zap to channel 1 and reboot from the Main Menu to set your changes into stone. The next time you run AutoBouquets, it will use YOUR audio.pid file, and not the crap one generated from the stream.

Cheers- AL :)

I'm a tad worried that at the time of writing this, 88 D-K members have downloaded Commando 14.6 release, but only TWO users have downloaded the above eazy-install fix.

This can only mean one thing. 97.7% of C14.6 D-K users are experts who have applied the fixes to their already customized files manually!

Cheers- AL :)
