Hello, i am looking for a way to add picons (and make them shown) in my iptv channels. I am using a vu+ solo receiver with OpenPLI 3.0. Does anybody knows? I am watching the channels from a bouquet straight to tv - like when you are watching satellite channels from a bouquet (through the receiver), not from a stream player in the receiver. The streams are not free to air.

There are two ways:

1) Specify picon name as in service reference with numerals before web address.

2) To use the picons of satellite channels, specify service reference as recommended in this topic: http://openpli.org/f...at/#entry367497

It works not only for the EPG, but also for picons.

Can you give me an example of how the .png file should be like in this case?

1:0:1:133:3E1C:13F:820000:0:0:0:http%3a//a.stream.tv:Stream

Look at the others picons:

1_0_1_133_3E1C_13F_820000_0_0_0.png 

 

 

But this one will give a picon only to the satellite channel and not in the streaming channel, and the satellite channel will have a picon showed but the streaming channel will not show nothing. So i want the picon of the streaming channel to be shown as i said before. Can you help?

[maigais]

but that does not allow you to do
thus

1_0_1_133_3E1C_13F_FFFF0000_0_0_0.png 

 

So instead of http%3a//a.stream.tv and any other similar http i should use the FFFF0000 or i didn't understand correct?

[maigais]

you understand me correctly

It can attract Picone
EPG,
description,
  next EPG

So can you tell me how will the picon named in this example: 1:0:1:13D:157C:13E:820000:0:0:0:http%3a//stream site/novacinema1/user name/password:Novacinema1

I tried this one and i cant see the picon. I am also using mymetrix skin (does that make it a problem?). I can see the picon in channels list and the epg but i cant see the picon of the channel when i am pressing the ok or the previous or next button of the remote control. When you press the ok button to a channel that is playing it shows you the name of the channel, the current and next epg, but not the picon of the channel. If that channel is not a stream channel but a normal satellite channel i can see the picon and all the other info. All of my picons are located in: /usr/share/enigma2/picon

In this skin is working you were correct (even without the FFFF0000), but the thing is that i like mymetrix skin. Do you know how can i explain this problem to the author of that skin in order to fix it in a new version or to give me a solution? Or maybe do you know any other skin that doesn't have this problem? 

[ThanosDJ]

By the way thanks for all the help you provide (maigais, Bernado and Taapat). I also have another question. I am watching satellite channels from 13 and 19.2 degrees. Is it possible to receive epg for channels that i am watching through stream, without my receiver connected to the satellite that the channel is working (for example i am receiving some stream channels from 28.2 and 9 degrees but my receiver is not receiving from those satellites, so can i have epg for that channels or not?)

PLI-HD Skin used standard openpli renderer Picon.py.

Apparently your skin is used another, who with picons works in a different way. Replace him with a standard Picon.py and I hope everything will be okay.

I've searched mymetrix skin and couldn't find a file called Picon.py. I have found it only in usr\lib\enigma2\python\Components\Renderer. Is there any other way to make it work?

[ThanosDJ]

i don't know if this helps and if i can put it here. The file XPicon.py is like this:

 

##

## Picon renderer by Gruffy .. some speedups by Ghost

## XPicon mod by iMaxxx

## XPicon mod by Misenko

##

from Renderer import Renderer

from enigma import ePixmap

from enigma import iServiceInformation, iPlayableService, iPlayableServicePtr

from Tools.Directories import fileExists, SCOPE_SKIN_IMAGE, SCOPE_CURRENT_SKIN, resolveFilename

from Components.config import config

 

class XPicon(Renderer):

searchPaths = ('/media/hdd/XPicons/%s/','/media/img/XPicons/%s/','/media/usb/XPicons/%s/','/usr/share/enigma2/XPicons/%s/','/usr/share/enigma2/%s/', '/media/usb/%s/')

 

def __init__(self):

Renderer.__init__(self)

self.path = "picon"

self.nameCache = { }

self.pngname = ""

 

def applySkin(self, desktop, parent):

attribs = [ ]

for (attrib, value) in self.skinAttributes:

if attrib == "path":

self.path = value

else:

attribs.append((attrib,value))

self.skinAttributes = attribs

return Renderer.applySkin(self, desktop, parent)

 

GUI_WIDGET = ePixmap

 

def changed(self, what):

if self.instance:

pngname = ""

if what[0] != self.CHANGED_CLEAR:

 

sname = self.source.text

pos = sname.rfind(':')

if pos != -1:

sname = sname[:pos].rstrip(':').replace(':','_')

pngname = self.nameCache.get(sname, "")

if pngname == "":

pngname = self.findPicon(sname)

if pngname != "":

self.nameCache[sname] = pngname

if pngname == "": # no picon for service found

pngname = self.nameCache.get("default", "")

if pngname == "": # no default yet in cache..

pngname = self.findPicon("picon_default")

if pngname == "":

tmp = resolveFilename(SCOPE_CURRENT_SKIN, "picon_default.png")

if fileExists(tmp):

pngname = tmp

else:

pngname = resolveFilename(SCOPE_SKIN_IMAGE, "skin_default/picon_default.png")

self.nameCache["default"] = pngname

if self.pngname != pngname:

if pngname:

if config.plugins.MyMetrix.ScalePicons.value == "scale-picons-yes":

self.instance.setScale(1)

self.instance.setPixmapFromFile(pngname)

self.instance.show()

else:

self.instance.hide()

self.pngname = pngname

 

def findPicon(self, serviceName):

for path in self.searchPaths:

pngname = (path % self.path) + serviceName + ".png"

if fileExists(pngname):

return pngname

return ""

 

Maybe i should make a change in this file but i don't know where. Any help?

now have another thing to

add

 

sname = sname[:pos].rstrip(':').replace(':','_')
sname = sname.split("_http")[0]

Great!!! That was it!!! Thanks. Now another thing. It is still not showing the epg of the channels that my satellite isn't connected as i said before. It is showing the epg from the stream channels that i am connected to (satellites 13 and 19.2) but not the epg from the stream channels that i am not connected to but receiving (satellites 28.2 and 9). Is that correct to happen or not?
