Sat list

Have all Radio Pids added with dreamset.Now got the music channels working on 103w ku.
Time consuming but alot easier than using a remote control.
 
Satellites.xml is stored in most enigma2 images at /etc/tuxbox.
Modified satellites.xml files should be copied to /etc/enigma2. This is done so the modified satellites.xml file will not be overwritten during online updates.

Enigma2 will use satellites.xml first from /etc/enigma2. If no satellites.xml file is found in /etc/enigma2, then the file in /etc/tuxbox is used.

I think it is a good idea to Copy, then Modify the original satellites.xml that is in /etc/tuxbox. Place the modified copy in /etc/nigma2, and leave the original in /etc/tuxbox. Doing it this way makes life simple if there is a problem with the file that has been modified.

Hi...Is there an easier way than using dreamset? I can read the files from the box but I seem to have an issue with writing them back to the box. It's like for some reason they are not getting saved even though I'm getting confirmation on the box that files are being saved, etc. Oh I am using the latest OpenPli image if that makes any difference -
 
Been awhile since I have used dreamset but the setup connection I used and worked back then was Enigma 2 ver. 4 (Telnet reload).
I'll put the Openpli image back on mine and test it and see if I have a problem with it.

No problem here. I'm using dreamset 2.4.12 and windows 7.
Did not do a read and write just wrote my saved lamedb from awhile ago.

That's the same version I'm using...do I have to save the changes to the dreamset before writing to the box? I was just writing to the box without saving the file to dreamset -
 
I do not use channel editors much.
You guys probably know this, but I will say it anyway.

Editing is easier if you make a bouquet for each scanned satellite in Favorites. These bouquets should be made immediately when a new satellite is scanned.
Any channel edited or modified in favorites (bouquets) will maintain or keep the edits - even if the satellite is erased and rescanned. This assumes of course, that the unedited or original channel was found again during the rescan.

Try this for yourself if you have not already.

Yes EB I have not tied this but did this morning. What I want to do is edit APID's on a 103W transponder for music channels. I don't see how I can do this without using a channel editor.
 
A channel Editor is probably easier for that, but you can also edit the file that contains the channel information.

It is a very good idea to back up the whole image after making manual edits. This saves a ton of time and aggravation if you ever need to restore or move the edited channels.

And the file that contains the channel information is located where? Have not found it yet - thanks
 
Here's how I did mine. The three in front of the Apid for the service Id keeps the channels in order but you can do it what ever works for you. The provider can be left blank too.

The channel file is called lamedb, and it is located in etc/enigma2. There is also a lamedb5 in the same location that needs to be transferred out of the box and have all the information in the file erased. Then reinstall the empty lamedb5 back into the box along with your modified lamedb file. More information on doing that is here: http://www.legitfta.com/forum/showt...nigma2-Lamedb-File-Edit-nbsp-(3-Participants)

What is posted above will be easier, especially for someone new to the enigma2 operating system.
