Should be /picon and did you restart after ftping them?

the tm800 (depending on what image you use) does not map out storage media correctly. enigma expects picons to be in hdd/picon, usb/picon or on internal flash, the tm800 maps drives to media/front-disk, which without setting up links, enigma does not recognise for picon, epg storage, etc

So plain and simply they don't work until a fix is made ?

do you have a internal drive using the usb front socket adaptor ?

use a mem stick in the rear to store picons /media/rear-disk
will end up looking like /media/rear-disk/picon when picon folder is added
this way works for me

This method works for me /media/rear-disk/picon using latest IQ or WOS version of this image.

put all picons in a folder called picon
insert usb storage into rear usb
press usb on remote and format rear usb storage device and exit all on screen

open ftp client
navigate to /media/rear-disk
then drag/transfer the picon "folder" to that directory
wait until finished
reboot box
flick up and down channels to see picon in info bar
:)

Ive just had a thought ! you are using a skin that supports picons arnt you ?

I'll try another skin, do you know which 100% does ?

Which image are you using? Latest IQ or WOS modified IQ image? The defualt skin that is installed does.

I'm using the latest WOS modded IQ image and i've just changed it back to the default skin ( vali-XD ) rebooted, and yes you've guessed it, nothing. I am really considering just leaving it, but once i start something i want to get it to work.

What picons are you using? Are they named by service ref's? Also what settings/bouqets are you using?

that should work if you do it to the letter mate :confused:
can you post step by step what you are doing i mean everything
something somewhere aint quite right (obviously) lol

do you use a internal drive as well ? or is rear disk the recording disk too ? press USB on remote and see what drives are showing

Right, i created a folder and named it picon, on root of USB stick and placed it into the rear USB port. Then downloaded a picon list and ftp'd it to picon folder i created, media/rear-disk/picon re-booted reciever, i believe that's right, obviously not :confused:
I don't have an internal drive and i use the front USB port to record via a external HDD.

Currently this is showing that i'm trying the front USB port, does this look correct, thanks

Can u use filezilla instead of dcc. Also i can barely read anything on that screenshot. If your usb is in the back and its showing as front usb then something is wrong. Try filezilla and follow the steps mentioned above by the guys

Sicilian

Have you used an uppercase P in the name of the picon folder? If so try a lowercase p. Not sure if it makes any difference.

pazza07
21-08-11, 09:44
Yes it was upper, i've now changed to lower.
