Picons by name why dont they show up on openatv and vti images

[abu baniaz]

OpenATV definitely have SNP. So likely mismatch between name of service and name of picon.

All seems fine on vix thru

Ive taken a screen grab of the channel selection of the bouquet below (first 6 channels) and upload the picons for them.

Service names and picon names are fine. What skin are you using and can it be downloaded? Please check the skin for what it uses to render the picons.

I'll take a look tomorrow night ��

Hi,
VTi also uses SNP BUT they use a different method to generate the filename. I complained about that when they "invented" it a few month after OpenViX but they were not very communicative.

The pyo file Markus uploaded does not have SNP code.

Hi,
I am not reading the VTi board anymore and also do not use their image. All I can say is that they supported their own SNP format in 2016 or so and they were not willing to change their naming.

I believe the py file i attached in post 24 did have the mod for the snp taken from a post on Vuplus support forum but i did try it and didn't much difference at all.

Had this code added

import os, re, unicodedata

   if pngname == '': # SNP picon by channel name
                        serviceHandler = eServiceCenter.getInstance()
                        service = eServiceReference(s_name)
                        if service and service is not None:
                            info = serviceHandler.info(service)
                            if info and info is not None:
                                name = info.getName(service)
                                name = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', unicode(name, 'utf_8', errors='ignore')).encode('ASCII', 'ignore')
                                name = re.sub('[^a-z0-9]', '', name.replace('&', 'and').replace('+', 'plus').replace('*', 'star').lower())
                                if len(name) > 0:
                                    pngname = self.findPicon(name)
                                    if not pngname and len(name) > 2 and name.endswith('hd'):
                                        pngname = self.findPicon(name[:-2])

This was added between

    if pngname == '':
                    pngname = self.findPicon(sname)
                    if pngname == '':
                        serviceHandler = eServiceCenter.getInstance()
                        service = eServiceReference(s_name)
                        if service and service is not None:
                            info = serviceHandler.info(service)
                            if info and info is not None:
                                service_name = info.getName(service).replace('\xc2\x86', '').replace('\xc2\x87', '').replace('/', '_')
                                pngname = self.findPicon(service_name)

and

  if pngname == '' and sname.startswith('4097_'):
                        pngname = self.findPicon(sname.replace('4097_', '1_', 1))
                    if pngname != '':
                        self.nameCache[sname] = pngname

Do we know for a definite that the skin you are using is using the image's picon renderer? You are going to be chasing ghosts if you don't establish this.


The 4097 start has no relevance to SNP. For SRP, we also need to cater for 5001 and 5002.That is why the other images treat everything in that segment as 1.


I know 100% ATV supports SNP. Their out-of-box skin MetrixHD uses a separate picon renderer, I submitted a pull request for it several years ago, it was merged.

Ive tried two skins and the reference for the picon seems the standard affair.

<widget source="Service" render="Picon" position="10,943" zPosition="4" size="220,132" transparent="1" alphatest="blend">
			<convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
		</widget>

[markus625]

Theres a version called matrix reloaded so ill see if that skin supports the snp picons.

[markus625]

No luck with the metrix reloaded skin

https://github.com/Scrounger/MetrixReloaded

even his own picons are srp format, its abit of a mystery why VTI seem so backward on this.

[Huevos]

I am baffled by this and I wrote the original Code. Snp/srp is not related to skin.

It is if the skin has its own picon renderer. As examples

We are also talking about an image that has no public repo.
