VFD Picons for the Vu+ Ultimo by Sandman [Disccussion]

[Alanp]

Had a little playabout with the xml file, and here what I found works best for me.

Kept the clock below the two useful logos for Dolby Digital and HD.

Kept the tuner indicators

Extended the progress bar

Extended the program description and made the font 4 sizes larger.

It's been good fun!

I have my xml file stored in /usr/share/enigma2 and the picons in lcd_picon in the root of the flash drive. I'm using ViX 2.3

Thanks to Sandman for his assistance.

Doh! The pics are upside down. Far too late to sort that out ;-)

Cheers, Lee

Well done any chance of posting you xml so others can try Thanks

[Sandman]

I was about to say that Alan! The more variations we have here the better!

Cheers Lee!

If anyone else has a custom XML layout, please post it and I'll create an options thread so people can use the one they like best!

Any good VFD picons wider than 110?

I think the Sky Sports HD logos would benefit from a wider logo. They are very small on my display.

I would be willing to sacrifice the time remaining count.

Wherabouts are the zombi picons?

Yea they are small....a few don't look great because of their length and those ones really need reworked anyway...maybe onto 2 lines...

The Zombi picons are afaik quick and dirty converts used with other VFD capable boxes...they're a completely different size so you'll need to redo your xml (I think Ev0 had a happy mix)

There still aren't too many (any?) other VFD creators around...I was hoping some EU ones had popped up for 13 and 19E but they really are laborious and take way longer than a regular one

If you search for 'zombie vfd picons' you should find them online

[norhap]

I can not see the vfd picons on the display, I see all the information of the infobar, channel name, everything, but I see no channel picon on the display.

I have the folder created lcd_picon /media/usb/lcd_picon
for picons old:
I have a link ln -s /media/usb/picon /usr/share/enigma2/picon
(the old picons if I see them without any problem)

and this to vfd:
ln -s /media/usb/lcd_picon /usr/share/enigma2/lcd_picon

I'm doing wrong, that I can not see them?

in picon display settings if

vix 2.4 latest build.
I have this xml

thanks.

[Alanp]

Probably a silly question, I know in the title it says 'VFD Picons for the VU+ Ultimo' but does the SOLO 2 support a VFD display for VFD Picons ? I probably know the answer, I just need confirmation... I've been searching but not seen a definitive answer. Thanks in advance.
