Picons not updating

[markshore123]

Hi noticed quite a few picons missing , using the ocram shd ones from the feeds, the picon folder shows the service id with the channel name at the end plus folders containg the channel names in alphabetical order ran a manual auto-bouquets and epg also re-boot the box no different am I doing it wrong or should it update automatically?
Thanks

When a channel changes service reference, you have to rename the picon. The picons do not update automatically.

A set of picons was uploaded to plugin feeds yesterday as well as openvix.co.uk. Uninstall the current ones and install the newer ones if you want to keep using conventional picons.

This is why the SNPicon system was devised. If you use SNPicons, the service reference changes won't affect you and a picon will always show provided channel name does not change.

Thanks downloaded these from the plugin feeds on the image, these are the Ocram shd ones are the snp picons on the feed as I cannot see them.

The SNPicons are not on the feeds. You can download from openvix.co.uk

Ocram changed the naming conventions. He no longer uses SD, HD, or SHD. The picon size is used in name. Hope others follow too.

SD versions resolution 70x53
HD versions resolution 100x60
SHD versions resolution 220x132

How do you use these snp picons. I replaced mine with these and they are not showing. What am I missing? Thanks.

You use them same way as normal picons.

Are you sure you have only one picon folder?

yes just the one folder on my usb stick mounted as media/hdd. I am using lraizers 28.2 bouquets there is an option to create auto picon links and there is 3 options i think ( I'm not at the receiver at the moment). Would this have any bearing on it? or is there another setting i need to adjust to point to these picons.

Laizer's plugin prints the chanenl number next to the name. Thsi is why the picons are not working in teh bouquet list, but are in the "all channel's" list.

Options:
1. Disable numbering in AB 28.2

2. In the Autopicon options, select the service name option, or wording to that effect. However, your USB stick must be in linux file system. Fat32 cannot be used for symlinks
