AMIKO Mini HD SE - How do I modify Channel List?

fred555 · Jul 22, 2015

I downloaded the channel editor from here. http://www.namini.tk/index_files/Page318.htm
Then I go to Software upgrade, Backup to usb, select channel list.
I move the usb stick over to the computer, and on channel editor open the udf file
and nothing happens. I click on Favor Group 1, nothing.

What's wrong?

Laying here about half asleep, will give you a good answer in the morning, if someone else don't.
but make sure you are opening as a BIN file. Drop down the file type in the open screen and select .abs file and when asked select user database.

Ok I did backup mode all. I opened the abs file ok. Found the tranponder for the channels I want to edit.
I change the SID to 99 and click OK. I get an error that Audio PID1 is invalid. The Sid change is made to 99 but Audio PID1 is changed to 0. If a channel has two Audio PIDs, both error out and change to 0.

???

Hmmm. That is strange. I have not messed with it in a while I will have to try and look later at it.

KE4EST · Jul 23, 2015

....well I have used it lately, just not to mess with PIDs.

fred555 · Jul 23, 2015

The Audio PIDs change to 0 by themselves after the error.
I am just trying to change the SIDs on LAFF, Bounce, Etc.. So I can rescan to look for feeds without the custom channel names reverting back to Ch-17, Ch-18 etc...

KE4EST · Jul 23, 2015

I just did some tests changing the Service ID, and it worked just fine changing to 99.
I did it on channels with single or multiple Audio PID's. They stayed where they were and I did not receive any errors.
The only thing I did not do was test with the MUX that LAFF is in, as it is not programmed into my box.
Email me your back up file, so I can work with the same one you are working with.

On the way to ke4est at Satellite Guys.US

I am looking at it closely and I see the audio PIDs are not right in the abs file for instance:

LAFF
On screen
VPID: 289
APID:290

In abs file
VPID: 289
APID:8482

Are you sure that you are using the correct ALI editor? I have seen this when using the wrong model ALI Editor.

fred555 · Jul 23, 2015

I downloaded the channel editor from here. http://www.namini.tk/index_files/Page318.htm

Michael, Look at my Favorite Group 1, Most of the C band APIDs are sqirrley.

The NASAs, all on 101W C, and 97WC LAFF MUX and Azteca7.

KE4EST · Jul 23, 2015

Everything looks good. Also am editing LAFF etc no problems.
I don't know about the one in the link but try this one.

fred555 · Jul 23, 2015

U DA MAN!!! It works,
What is the url for the proper channel editor? Mine was off the Amiko Americas site and it did not work.

fred555 · Jul 23, 2015

What is the proper procedure for uploading the abs file?

Titanium · Jul 23, 2015

I just successfully edited channels from my mini HD SE with the editor just downloaded from the link:
http://www.namini.tk/index_files/Page318.htm
Make sure that all files included with the editor are placed in the same folder.

STB:

Save All and it creates an .abs file on the USB: BAK-20xxxxxxxxxx.abs
Remove USB from STB and insert in PC

----
PC:

Launch AliEditor
Open File >>> select Files of type: "Open Bin File(*abs)
Select the BAK-20xxxxxxxxxx.abs file
Click Open
Select User Data Base
Publisher could not be verified....BLAH BLAH BLAH... Click Run
Click on All Services if you wish to view entire channel list.
(or to view by satellite: Expand All Services / Expand Satellite Information / Select the satellite to edit from the list)
Right Click on the channel to edit and select what you want to do or double left click to edit the service parameters
The PIDs and PCR will be greyed out until either the channel type is changed between TV/Radio or the Service ID (SID) is modified to 0. I like using SID 0 so I can modify PIDs and match Audio and Video PIds to creat my own custom channels. For example: on NBC channels I have created a few custom channels using the same VPID, but a single APID, so I don't have to hit the audio button to toggle between the audio tracks (just change channels).

To save:

File Export Save as type: Open BIN File(*abs)
File Name: <yourfilename>.abs
Select Data Base: User Data Base and OK
The file will be saved
Eject/Remove USB from PC and insert in STB

----
STB:

Select your custom file
Upgrade mode Channel list
Click Start
Will reboot after loading custom channel list.
Finished!!!

You can make the channel list you factory default either during the editor saving process or after it is loaded into the STB.

Good Luck!
