Create your own logo-packs.
Given the number of requests to create new logo's, we decided to implement the option for installing & choosing logo-packs (just like you can choose your own (display)skin.
If you want to create your own pack make sure to:
1- Create a zip-file with a name that clearly identifies your logo
2- Make sure the folder contains 3 1080p mvi's with the names radio.mvi, backdrop.mvi & bootlogo.mvi as well as the 3 jpg's.
3- Each logo should hold the text 'OPEN VIX' 'All your support needs at world-of-satellite.com'.
4- Compare your work with the attached example
5- Make sure that all the work you upload is copyright free and decent (no nudity, religious, political or ethnic pictures).
6- Also make a bb-file like "enigma2-plugin-bootlogos-openvix-zeus.bb" (see attached example). Make sure the contents is correct for your files.

EDIT by Maxwell:
How to for the bb file

Use this calculator to obtain the MD5 and sha256 checksums for your zip file (scroll down to the browse button to use the file on your PC) then after opening click the Calculate Checksums button


https://defuse.ca/checksums.htm

The bb file is actually a text file and you should open it with Notepad++ for easy editing. Get Notepad++ from here

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.5.5.html

Open the supplied sample from the files below and edit this line with the name of your zip:

SRC_URI = "http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/bootlogos/openvix-zeus.zip"

for example:
SRC_URI = "http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/bootlogos/my-bootlogo.zip"

Now edit the line below with your md5 checksum calculated earlier

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "25bb4a9526350cfaa28cfa9fe288eebe"
Then do the same for the sha256 checksum
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = "30b68be08383209f831aa035df8acb0da2500e36f9c8d2ef78 6d049a7dadacd3"

Now save the file with your filename of choice e.g enigma2-plugin-bootlogos-my-bootlogos.bb

post your zip file and the edited bb file in the thread.

For creating MVI's one can use Dream_Logo_Generator or use Xorion if you want 1080p

Also upload a picture of your pack, so it is easy for users to identify.

The best pack's will be uploaded to our feeds. The ViX-team makes the decision which packages will be made available via the feeds; there will be no discussion about that.

When it comes to installing a pack, one must know that only one pack can be installed. So if you have a pack installed, and want to change it for another one, the old pack should be de-installed before installing the new one.

Users who wish to submit their bootlogo packs for evaluation please make a thread in the following section.

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/forumdisplay.php?393-ViX-Team-Skinning-Discussion

Even if your bootlogo pack does not make it into the feeds, you can still host them via the forum for users to use. good luck.

As we're now in the process of implementing this functionality, I amended the instructions in post #1 a bit. Please make sure to follow all exactly, and ask if things are not clear.
