Hi,

Cheers.

Thanks wooshman, got my numbers showing, I bet you prob anticipated my next question...I assume it sort of "doubles up" on channels to add them to other bouquets, Is there any way to have the same numbers from my "All Channels" bouquets showng in the others, for example film4 in "All Channels" bouquet is 313 but in "Movies" bouquet its 1393.
 
How much do you use the all channels bouquet? if you normally use the group bouquets then you could disable the all channels bouquet, this would then mean you would have the correct channel number listed in the movies bouquet etc.

Unfortunately if you keep the all channels bouquet you can't then do what you are looking for.
 
That has always been a downside to ABM, It works how it should do I know and ABE2 used to hack the channel number into the channel name, but would be nice to have the same channel numbers in Large bouquet and separate bouquets too.

To turn off the large ALL bouquet:
Menu -> Setup -> Service Searching -> AutoBouquetsMaker -> Providers -> Sky UK: generate main bouquet - change this to no -> green button and go down to start scan and press OK to scan.

But with all the above said, I flashed my box last night and setup Infinity with default settings not restoring old settings and the Main bouquet is disabled as it should be.
 
It's possible via a ABM CustomMix.

I haven't tried this for a while

Download the attached zip file then depending on what you use i.e. sky UK, sky irl or virgin UK

Sky UK = sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml
Sky roi = sat_282_sky_irl_CustomMix.xml
Virgin UK = cable_uk_virgin_CustomMix.xml

Ftp the chosen CustomMix file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom

Then rescan ABM, you'll also need to change channels numbers to numbers off in EPG, channel selection and infobar settings.

If this doesn't work then delete CustomMix file and rescan ABM.

I'd like to thank wooshman and dsayers for all the information and help, Thanks for your time.
will have a play around it.

Cheers
 
By default, favorites are automatically numbered in a sequential order starting at 1.
Using E-Channelizer, you can insert Hidden Markers to customize your numbering.

Hi , when i press EPG then Menu i get a red cross appear ... is there another way of doing this please ?
 
The way i do it is press the down arrow, all the channels are listed, press menu, settings, go down to show channel numbers in channel selection, and change to yes.

The other way should work too, i have just been able to do it.

Running v7 and trying to get channel numbers, All channels are in the right place just cant get the numbers.
So tried your advice is this only for Infinity as I don't have the option of Service Number and Name , Just Name , Picon , Picon and Name.
Sorry if this question is in the wrong section.
 
It is part of openATV and been there for as long as I can remember. If you are using v7 channel number and name is definitely there.

Can only see channel name and programme description, Is there a section where numbering needs to be enabled ?
 
Hi. Firstly can I apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I had to reinstall my back last night (I am a novice) with wooshbuild infinity, unfortunately for some reason whatever I do now I can't seem to get the right settings for the TV channels to be an order on the EPG any help would be gratefully appreciated
 
Grogbuild and wooshbuild are customisations to make images easier. They are not images. Which image do you have? Post the version and date.

How have you made the bouquets?
If you are using AutoBouquetsMaker, what settings have you used? Particularly the option that says, create main bouquet.
 
Hi. Thanks for the reply and sorry for being a pain.
I have openATV version 6.1 and the last update 2018-03-24
