Picons missing

[mskhan01]

I need some advice regarding my missing picons, I have been using Rats picons, which are installed on my external hard, has been working great until today noticed some of the picons as not show despite being present in the picon folder. It had been working fine until yesterday. I have noted picons for BT Sports HD 1 & 2, also ESPN HD, Samaa, PTV Prime etc are missing. I tried putting the picons from an earlier folder but they are still not shown.
I tried using Lraizer's autobouquet's option of create Autopicon link, but had not much luck.Need some guidance please?
Just wondering for Sky UK which picon plugin will I need from the plugins menu?

just rename them with streaminfo.How: go to channel where picon is not shown.Select stream info and rename your picon with this info.

[mskhan01]

Pardon my ignorance but can you please advise me on how to do it?

To use lraizer auto picon function, all of your native picons need to be correct and present first, then scan with lraizer plugin and this creates symlinks do that you well never lose the picons on reference change,
As you have already lost several picons because of most probably reference change, that is why it wouldn't have looked like it would have worked for you.

Any suggestions on where to get correct native picons for Lraizer plugin?

[bellejt]

I rename them under win explorer : \\IPADRESSBOX\Root\media\usb. You see the picons there.I set my box on the channel from missing picon and lookup stream info.Then I lookup under explorer the right picon and change the reference. The "." becomes "_". Easyast way if you have only a few picons to change.PS: afterwords I make a backup of the directory on my PC.Then I can kep them up to date there also.

What picon pack do you use?

Thanks for your help but I am afraid it is beyond my level of understanding:(

If you are unsure what to do, just wait for rats to update his pack, so they are all current and working then run lraizer plugin to attach them.

There are no native picons for Lraizers plugin. The script will convert any picon set. As mentione d above, the picon set must be correct and complete in the first place. The reason I say complete, is that if there are 5 versions of a channel and the maintainer has named the picon only for the chanenl he uses, then the other four channels will not have a corresponding picon.

Channels (at least on 28.2) have unique EPG ID. This will never change. Lraizers autopicon script converts the existing/conventional names to unique ones. It then creates symlinks on every run so that any changed symlinks will point to the "fixed name" picon.

Once you have your picons in the autopicon format, you should not need to worry about picons for 28.2 if you are using AB 28.2. Apart from those that change picture or a new channel appears.
Where are your autopicon symlinks?
Where are your picons?
What format is the storage medium?
Did you restart your receiver? It does mention this during the process.

You should not be using a HDD for picons unless you have PTS running. The solo2 has plenty of memory for this.

Where are your autopicon symlinks? Not sure where they are?
Where are your picons? External Hard drive root
What format is the storage medium? External Hard drive in Ext4 format
Did you restart your receiver? It does mention this during the process. Yes I did restart afterwards & there were no picons showing, so I disabled again from the plugin & reinstalled the picons on my hard drive

To take the guessing out of the equation, pleae post a screenshot of your settings for AB 28.2.

This was the setting I used earlier

[mickyblueys]

Those settings will work when you have a current working set of picons. If you ftp to box and look in your picon folder you should see all of your original picons and allot of extra symlinks.

1. Delete any existing picon folders on all your devices.
2. Manually download chosen picon and place on root of internal memory of receiver
3. Use the locations as in screenshot.

How do you check stream info? I can look into my picons folder but not sure how to check stream info?

[abu baniaz]

Menu > Information > Service

Taking a screenshot while on the channel will result in a picture created with name of the service reference.

Ocram picons in the plugin feeds are usually pretty up to date.
Look or tv-ocram-XXX... & choose your preferred pack.

I just upgraded from zeus to helios 006 and have noticed that some of my picons are missing. Just as the OP said, BT sport 1 & 2 hd and many other channel picons are missing. It was working perfectly before. I am using ocrams picons from the feeds.

[abu baniaz]

Can we clarify something here, picons are not image related. When people say picons are missing, that statement is usually not correct. The picons are there but the image is not displaying them. The image uses the service reference for the channel to call the picons. When the service reference changes there is no picon with a matching name, so the picon is not displayed despite being there.

Please see this thread which shows the changes. It is not an automated process, someone needs to submit the changes for tehm to show on the website. http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?3621-Sky-uk-28-2-east-NEW-CHANNELS&p=282588&viewfull=1#post282588

The picon maintainers will update the symlinks/picons as and when they are able to.

I have sorted mine by manually updating the service info individually for the missing channels as suggested in the thread

Thank you for the explanation. I'm not blaming the image, I'm just stating what I see. Thanks again

I think I'll wait for the picon update to appear. I'm not in a rush, just after the update to Helios some picons are not showing. But I'll wait :)
