installing PICON

[Geoff Clark]

Chaps,

new to this, but managed so far.
i want to install picon,
i have my EPG set up on USB! i have downloaded the picon as a IPK file, placed it into my TMP file. opened VIX on box, installed it ok, restarted GUI , but nothing changes !!!

i may have missed a step ???

many thanks

I just have a folder named picon and copy picons to it works no problem

[Geoff Clark]

thanks for the reply!

where is the folder ?? do you copy the IPK file into that folder ??

sorry but can you be more specific ? like i say new to this, do you make a folder ? then paste it somewhere ? then copy the ipk file to it ??

have you activated showing picons?

you will need to select an option called something like "show picons in bouquets" or something like that.
i think its in the channel listings/menu.

Double check what you have done against this thread.

A debug log will be ideal as it will show which location is being used

Hi Geoff, just wondering which IPK file you have used and where you got it from? The picicon plugins on my system are not very discriptive and I am not sure which to use, I'm also a relatively inexperienced user but have managed to set my system but cannot poad the pic icons as yet.
