When i view a recorded programme and press for the 2nd info bar I have the picon place holder but no picon. How do I get the picon to show. I am using the confluence skin with the MK picons.

I think this is the Confluence Skin? If so I believe @Rossi - the skin Author - is looking at this. Please see post http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post358726 and an earlier post http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...l=1#post357554

For the Confluence Skin by @Rossi, just incase @Rossi has not got to this yet, here is the fix to the file skin_ViXBMC_1080_Common.xml on path Root\usr\share\enigma2\ViXBMC_1080_Common
See Before and After screen shots and a skin_user .xml that goes on path Root\etc\enigma2. If you are using a skin_user file already, just add this small section.
@Rossi - Could you answer a question for me please? I am wondering how the screens that you write are tied to the remote and skin? For example in the first ViXBMC_1080 skin the GraphicalEPG screen is screen name="GraphicalEPG" and in the ViXBMC_1080 Confluence derivative the "GraphicalEPG" screen is screen name="GraphicalEPGPIG" - I am just wondering how this relationship is set? Also is there a "quick" way of knowing what is the active screen in the skin so that a person can easily locate it and customise? Thanks for the great work.

Please read this post -> here
The code around "Eventview" screen and "Info" button for Live TV AND "EventviewSimple" screen and Recorded Movie has changed between Hades 11 -> Hades 12.
As "EventviewSimple" is now a panel for "Eventview" the "fix" referred to above cannot now work for Live TV!
!!The picon widget requires a different type for live TV versus recorded movies - see link above!!
The attached modded skin_user .xml file should make both screens work again, but I am afraid it's too late in the day to test!
One last word of warning - @Rossi also uses the "EventviewSimple" panel in the "InfoBarEventView" screen, and I am sorry I don't know which screen that is, so there could be an impact there?

It was too late last night . When I looked at the .XML this evening I see the InfoBarEPG uses the aforementioned screen. I have introduced an EventViewSimpleLiveTV screen for the panel in "EventView" and "InfoBarEventView" screens. As far as I can see all EventView screens work in Hades 12 with this mod maybe @Willmore can confirm?. Over to @Rossi

sorry for being a little thick here but im looking to get the picons on the recordings info as above but i dont understand what i need to do with the above file to get it to work i initiall thought i just copied all the data in the XML into the skin_ViXBMC_1080_Common.xml file over the top of the old eventview section but that just put my box into a constant boot loop
Following @sigpark's instructions, once unzipped the .xml file is ftp'd to /etc/enigma2

Have tried putting unzipped file (skin_user_ViXBMC_1080_Confluence.xml) into /etc/enigma2 and also into \usr\share\enigma2\ViXBMC_1080_Common Both done absolutely nothing
Have you restarted the GUI ?

yes even restarted the whole box
The problem you had is typical if when the Skin .xml cannot parse - ViX will crash. The good news is that the E2 box will be still up, and you can FTP to it still and undo the change you made.
Anyway as @Willmoore said, any skin_user file must be placed in the /etc/enigma2 folder, and the naming convention must be as per the Skin name - the file name should be exactly the name as posted, including upper and lower case.
With skin_user .xml files you can customise screens of the main skin - the skin_user file gets read last. In this case the code just changes some eventview references.
More good news is that @Rossi will be incorporating a fix for this issue shortly, so the skin_user will not be needed.
As @Willmoore also said, any/all skin file changes require a GUI restart.
Finally, it is never a good idea to change the master skin files in usr/share/enigma2 as the files are overwritten each time you perform an update
Summary:
1. Make sure you are using the .xml file from post #7
2. Make sure you unzip the file and keep the same name exactly when you unzip
3. The fix is only for Confluence skin
4. The file must be placed in /etc/enigma2 folder
Good Luck, and I hope this helps
