picons on usb stick

[franky62]

i have a vu+ duo and VTI 2.6
please, can you explain me , for a newbie, how use picons on usb stick ?
must i format the stick in fat 32 or ext3 also ?

[punisher]

I think fat32 will do and make sure usb is mounted as media/usb.

[Stanman]

It has to be FAT32 and as punisher says mount point must be media/usb and not SDB1 otherwise it wont work.
To change the mountpoint blue button>vix>mount manager

[punisher]

he said he using vti thas why i couldn't say the path to device manager to change it lol

[Stanman]

Glad one of us was paying attention:eek:;):)

[franky62]

i note that fat 32 is good
do have i to fill the stick before mounting ? and before create usb repertory ?
how exactly ?

[punisher]

you are better off mounting it first and making sure its correct path is media/usb then put the picons on in the folder media/usb/picon and i think you should be ok

[franky62]

after each new VTI version, what i have to do ?
is the mount reconnized ?

[franky62]

is the picon folder on usb or hard disk ?

If you want them on USB then it must be in the root of the USB stick.

Hi,
interesting, I did install the ViX several days ago and during the picon setup I did not have usb option, only hdd and internal memory. I choose the memory as hdd option slows zapping a lot. I'm sure thou that on PLi I had the usb option. Well, usb seems to be most optimal storage for picons so that was strange to me.

Thanks

Latest vix doesnt have picon options, you just put them on ur desired storage medium (preferably usb) and vix will auto detect it. So if placed on usb it will be media/usb/picon. Make sure it isnt stored on hdd or flash just 1 storage

[mbo]

it must be during the picon download I've been given options as described above.
Thanks

aah yeh if you download from feeds then it only gives hdd and flash options, not sure why but yeh just transfer them from hdd to usb and you should be fine. i meant the steps if you were transfering them on ur pc

not big deal but strange that the usb will not show up as an option.
Bit off topic, I know I can easy move the whole directory with the content to usb using ftp or samba but how can I do this via telnet? will mv /picon /media/usb do the job?

Thanks

i have put picons on usb with succes, but thet are not in cool tv guide

Have u enabled them in cool tv guide setup? Press epg then menu and make sure its enabled

[franky62]

the path is changed in case of usb stick
what i have to do in picon path in menu of cool tv guide ?
thanks

[Stanman]

In cooltv press menu change no of items to 5 from 11 and yes to picture in graphics, exit. Might need to restart.

[franky62]

what is "no of items to 5 from 11" ?

[Stanman]

not at my tv right now but after pressing the menu there is a setting for display no of items, its set to 11 change it to 5

[franky62]

when i press menu on picon Path , i have "répertoire parents" and others folfers
which one have i to change ?
i do not see "no item"

[Stanman]

Is this what you are after?

If so on the VU press EPG button, on ET guide and than when you are on the first screen shot with the programmes press meu and change the entry that says items per page to 5

[punisher]

I think he wants it for cool tv guide but you should the vix epg its pretty neat and looks like the screenshot posted by stanman above

[Stanman]

There is no practical difference between VIX and cool for the end user, he will have to do as advised to get it working.
