Hi All

 

I have just installed the new (Nightly) build of OpenPli 4 on my VU Duo box.

And I am using the default Skin!

 

So I have installed picons from the web interface, both to the actual device (RAM) and also to the HD.

can see that they are placed correctly.

 

Is there anywhere in the default Skin I need to enable the use of Picons?

 

Best regards

No.

It'll just use whatever is available (you can even hot-plug sticks with picon sets on them). Hence installing in two locations is a bad idea.

Hi,

 

Can you please describe the steps you perform to install picons from the webif?

I never saw this possibility in OpenWebif.

I think you should go into the plugins meny and then press Green --> Then the listing will show Picons

Its a brand new flashed OpenPli 4, and I first tried to just installed to the HD and then uninstalled and installed again to the RAM....

I even tried to enable Picons on the channel listings...but no matter what I do I dont get any icons.

 

I also tried to just fetch all Picons available to see if I could have a channel listing of +45 channels without any matching Picons...

 

I am on Astra & Thor, can it be because I have my preferred channel listing under Favorites?

 

Thanks for your input much appriciated

Maybee its the naming?
 
The Picon name must match the the service name in the user Bouquet or the picon must be named with the service reference number?

 

Hmmm

[dirocca]

did you reboot the box after installing the picons?

have you tried with a list from ocram?

 

should be service reference.

Hi,

 

I know how to install picon from the feed but casperse mention that it does it from the webif... and I don't think that it is possible.

 

For casperse picon problem:

- I am not sure that picon from the feed are still the proper one, since they are quite outdated and there was many changes in the service reference in between.

 

Picons should be placed here:

 

/media/usb/picon  (it is the prefered solution, connect a permanant USB stick to your STB and place your picon there)

/media/hdd/picon (then you HDD will spin up at each zap / each EPG check, ... not the best place).

 

You can check here to have more up-to-date picons (seems to be the new place for ocram picons):

 

https://bitbucket.or.../logos/overview

 

Picons should be named with there service reference (you can easily find it by opening a userbouquet.xxx.tv file for exemple) and on some STB it is limited to only 256 colors (while other support "full color" picons).

@Pr2
You can put picons wherever you want.
Ocram picons from the feed are always up to date and will be automatically updated by a software update.

picons can be placed into a "picon" map on ANY device. It does not matter what media and where it is mounted. You can even have multiple sticks with picons if you like. And you can plug and unplug them any time.

The picons can be any colordepth and any size. Bigger picons will of course need more memory to load and more CPU processing to display (especially when scaling is required). 8-bit picons only use a quarter of the resources compared to 32-bit ones.
