picons not working?

[beezo]

hi guys,

i download some picons from this forum and stuck them on a USB in a folder called picons. ive put the USB in the box and told the box that the picons are to be found on a USB via the skin settings menu. It toldme i need to restart GUI, did that but i do not se the picons on the info bar when changing channels

im running the new vix image

any help would be much appreciated, thanx

Folder name is picon without the S. Also stick needs to be formatted FAT32

P.S i have telenet into vu+ and i can see the picon folder with all the picons in it but still i dont see the picons on the info bar

u sure u named it picon

you also need to telnet this command

ln -s /media/sdb1/picon /usr/share/enigma2

then restart try that

[beezo]

yes mate, they in a folder called picon

what do you mean by ''you also need to telnet this command

ln -s /media/sdb1/picon /usr/share/enigma2''

Have you checked to see that your satellites.xml that points to 28.2 and not 28.4. You can check in your channel list by pressing green for satellites.

[mmcmedia]

you need to click start then run then in the box type telnet then it will open a box like ms dos
you then need to find ip adress of ya box the in the telnet box

o then your ip address
so
0 192.168.2.1 (as an example)

then login - root
password - just press enter

then
ln -s /media/sdb1/picon /usr/share/enigma2

then restart box , once restarted if you then ftp into your box to this folder /media/sdb1/picon/ you should now see all your picons and should aslo be recognised , if your telnet command dont work in the run box let us know what op sys u on

i read that i could generate my own satellites.xml so i didnt have the 28.4 problem, so i did this and telnet'ed it to the box. i rescanned and all the channels working fine but still no picons. pressed green button on channel listing and it shows up as 28.2E

thanx mate, ive tried that and it did nothing. i typed in root, it then asked for password. pressed enter, it then asked for login again. so this time i typed in root, then typed in my password, i then typed in the command and it said that the file does not exist. im running xp. any ideas and thanx for your help with this

Press Menu > Setup > VIX menu > Skin settings, is picon location set to USB?

Mate, I have the very same problem.
Grtmoby and bassethound tried to help me but I gave up after full week of trying.
The funny thing is grtmoby sent me astra 13 also any this worked perfectly.
I can't understand why 13 works perfect and 28 won't.
Also if I change from one sat to another picons that were in astra 13 disappear.
Twilight zone. Lol.

Andy and Sic, would it be possible to add the picons as a plugin or something on the next Vix image.
That would be great for plebe's like me. Lol

hi,
ftp to your box, click on media folder, then type here the folders under the media folder or take a pic of them
