VFD Picons for the Vu+ Ultimo by Sandman [Disccussion]

[ea.xlns]

Hey Sandman, picons looking good. Great job!

There's two folders in the zip file. Presumably the contents of Astra 28E HD Pack has to be ftp'ed to piconlcd directory?

What about the _MACOSX folder. What to do with that?

Thanks

[Larry-G]

you can delete the macosx folder as it's redundant on Linux and windows systems.

ea.xins,

ignore the _MACOSX folder...the zip util must have added it for some reason!

Just ftp the .png's to your piconlcd folder in your flash, HDD or USB!

I have deleted the macosx folder from the original rar file and uploaded a fixed rar file without the macosx folder

By the way, is the piconlcd folder already in the flash directory (of the VIX image) or does it have to created? If so, do you need further settings on the receiver?

on vix you will need to enabel them

but dont epect tehm to work out of teh box VIX uses a different size picon

72x46 i think it is

[Ev0]

76x45 for vix

[Sandman]

Obviously you can tweak the VFD skin_user.xml file to suit your needs...110x40 seems like a sensible size -

How do you enable them on VIX menu mate? I mean I don't have a piconlcd in the root...

Anyone got instructions for a noob please?

Tried to follow those instructions but it hasn't worked, not sure where I've gone wrong. So my lcd picons are in the folder I created in root, called lcd_picon (as per the other thread).

Secondly, I wasn't sure where the lines go in the "skin_display_picon.xml" file. Wherabouts in the "InfoBarSummary": ?

Thanks

The info from the above quoted thread, will need to be edited to work with the picon's posted on this thread.

They are different sizes.

Heres my skin_user.xml which i assume is pretty much the same as skin_display_picon.xml in VIX?

skin_user.zip


The output displays a picon if one is available and displays the channel name in text if there isn't one available...

I've also used the whole VFD length to display program name so scrolling & clipping is avoided!

Any chance you can provide full instructions for the VIX image?

I would mate but I don't use VIX!

I assume its similar to BH though and from the other thread -

Go to the file "skin_display_picon.xml" located at "/usr/share/enigma2" and add the following code to the InfoBarSummary section -

<widget source="session.CurrentService" render="LcdPicon" position="179,17" size="76,45" >
      <convert type="ServiceName">Reference</convert>
    </widget>

You'll need to change the size to size="110,40" to avoid skewing my picons (as long as you constrain proportions you should be able to amend to suit without much loss of quality) and then play around with the position until you're happy with its screen location!
