I have folder of picons (sort by channels name) .. i want to display it i skins, but i can not seen function in the image!
where i send a folder and how to make picon display on ?

Thank you

[hemispherical1]

PLi uses service references for picon names, as described twords the bottom of the The new PLi® PLicons, realtime network update of PLicons - (global) page. IIRC the image automagically scans folder locations such as /usr/share/enigma2/picon, /media/hdd/picon, /media/cf/picon, etc. & displays any "properly named" picons found in skins that support the feature.

How to change picon location path by manually with DCC ? which file most to be edit ?

Edited by fairbird, 2 February 2012 - 04:51.

[hemispherical1]

The search path is controlled in the /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/Picon.py file, which doesn't come with images by default. You'd have to add the enigma2-src package to get it & after making any changes to it you'd need to delete the /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Components/Renderer/Picon.pyo file and restart enigma2 to have any changes take effect.

As currently coded it appears the picon folder is searched for under / , /usr/share/enigma2 , or ANY other mounted filesystem, /media/usb, /media/cf, /media/hdd, etc. I'm not sure why you'd want to change that behavior, it would probably be easier to just move your picon folder if it isn't on the filesystem root of the desired mounted device (usb, cf, hdd, etc.)...

I am having problems with picons too. After a long time trying to figure out what it was, I have now discovered that picons which used to work perfectly, now don't corespond to a service "code".

For instance, History HD on 28.2E has reference 1_0_86_F2E_7EC_2_11A0000_0_0_0, and my corresponding picon png file is 1_0_19_F2E... The rest is all the same.

As I said, all the same picons used to work perfectly with any skin, on PLi 2.1 image and with Likra's settings which I am using since the first day with my Vu+ duo.

The question is - what has changed, and why my service references don't correspond to picon codes anymore?

[Amoroso2006]

i try to put a picon in HDMUcenter exactly in Sotcam Control

 

 

i try to change picon.py with adding

searchPaths = ('/usr/share/enigma2/%s/', '/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/%s/', '/media/sde1/%s/', '/media/cf/%s/', '/media/sda1/%s/'

 

but no effect

please help me

Hi,

 

Why change the picon.py while it is so simple to create a symlink?

 

 

mkdir /usr/share/enigma2/picon
ln -s  /usr/share/enigma2/picon My_Source_Path_To_picon 

 

you can place your picon wherever you want and juste create a symlink.

very thanks bro

 

i have Forever 7474 like octagon 1008G+SE+ with image HDMU 10881

 

please tell me how to put this code to have a symlink

 

mkdir /usr/share/enigma2/picon
ln -s  /usr/share/enigma2/picon My_Source_Path_To_picon 
 

[Amoroso2006]

because the picon work perfectly in the skin of image but not in the HDMUskin modified by me

 

 

[Pr2]

Hi,

 

Sorry, I made a typo error.

 

So open up a telnet session on your box.

 

Then type:

 

ln -s /media/usb/picon /usr/share/enigma2/picon

 

So this concrete exemple picons are located in /media/usb/picon  you need to adapt this for your particular case, so no need to change any .py file for this.

 

If you already type my previous commands please do a:

 

 

rmdir /usr/share/enigma2/picon

may i know the skin name you are using?

 

Thanks.

If the picon works in the title bar, but not elsewhere in the skin, there's a problem in the skin and hacking picon.py or making symlinks will not help.

There is absolutely no need to create links to /media/usb/picon, if that folder contains picons the picon renderer is smart enough to pick that up. If you added picons to the stick without "telling" E2 about it (which is, any method that does not involve an ipk package) just remove the stick and put it back, this will cause it to look for a picon directory again.
Creating such a symlink will only make things slower, as it causes the renderer to search the same path twice.

ok guys i got my picons on usb. how to i get them working. do i just plug my usb on the usb port if so i did nothing happend

[dirocca]

you have to make a folder called " picon " on the usb and put your picons in the folder.

reboot  the box

reboot  the box

No reboot needed. Just insert the stick, and switch channels, and a picon will appear.

You can have as many picon sticks as you like, and insert and remove them whenever you like.

[isteric2005]
