Simple UK picons

[adm]

Can you create an update guide please? There is a thread one on Linuxsat, should you wish to refer to it first.

I just used it with mainly defaults after downloading it in a quick and dirty method. The operation is fairly self explanetary when selecting the menu items in e2piconizer. I really didn’t bother removing picons I didn’t need etc.

Download the plugin
Menu -> Plugins -> press green to download the list of plugins
From the downloaded list -> Extensions -> scroll down to e2piconizer -> highlight and press OK to install.

Then

Menu -> Plugins -> select E2Piconizer (by KiddaC) -> press OK
Select Picon Source = Virgin UK
Leave all other setting as default
press OK
after the picon download press green to continue

Repeat but with Picon Source = Sky UK/IE

The same FTA channels on Sky/Virgin are valid for UK Freesat and UK Freeview

Using the default location the .png images (picon images) will be on the box at
/etc/enigma2/E2Piconizer/downloads

I just copied all of the files and pasted them into a folder called "picon" (all lower case) that I created on my USB stick mounted on my box..

I restarted the GUI and checked the picons in my graphical EPG. I did go back into e2piconizer to repeat the exercise to create smaller picon files with a blanking border (just changing some of the defaults)

I found one picon missing in my EPG and this was corrected by a name change . Example:
The picon for BBC1 may not appear probably because the channel is actually named BBC One. In the picon folder find the file named bbc1.png and change it to bbcone.png and/or the channel may be called BBC One Lon (London region) and there may not be a picon file for bbconelon.png. In this case find, say, bbconeeast.png and change the name to bbconelon.png.
