VIX Image picons

[succuba]

I have just installed the VIX 1.1 image again this morning after playing around with it for a couple of days. I formatted the USB stick using the image format tool, I mounted the USB stick and loaded two different sets of picons (one at a time) into a folder in the root of the USB stick called picon. I even added a folder in the HDD to see if that would work but I still cannot get the picons to show in the info bar.

I have tried just about everything but can't seen to get past this hurdle. Just for info they are all working in the DreamElite image as I have just installed my back up of this and all is well.

I am about to install a new clean image of VIX 1.1 now to try again, any pointers are welcome.

I have also been trying now for two days, having reinstalled newest VIX image and cannot get the picons to work. I have tried USB - Hard drive nothing.

None show up on any sats.

Any ideas guy's

If you are using the vix image use setup/vix/skin settings/choose picon location USB/HDD restart enigma.

Try using different usb sticks some dont like the VU+

Yes, I have tried all methods....

If I use another image it works first time, thing is I really like the VIX image. If needs be I can live without it, but it would be nice.

Thanks for reply

Just tried those with no joy... I know my USB stick is mounted OK because I have just made a small swap file on it, I have a folder on the same USB stick called picon and installed three different picon sets into it (one at a time) without results. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong if others can use picons with the VIX 1.1 but I just don't know what it is.

I have not loaded any bouquets or epg do I need these to make the picons work?

[grtmoby]

u don't need bouquets or epg but u need channels.

try to manually scan one sat and see if the picons will work on it and don't forget to correctly set the picon location on the VIX menu

Yes 8Gb USb drive formated to Fat32, I have tried all formats and I can see the picons on a PC so I know they are there. What set of picons are you using ??

Thanks John

Yep, I only have 28.2 as a test sat list all the channels are working fine... just no picons, I really cant understand why, again for clarity

1. usb stick with a folder called picon in the root and stick in the rear of the STB
2. menu>setup>VIX>skin settings - Choose Picon Location - USB
3. menu>setup>VIX>device manager - mount points - USB: Cruiser Blade Size: 8.000 GB /dev/ - media/usb

I even set up a picon folder on the HDD (for test purposes) and pointed the location to the hard drive but still nothing, I must be doing something fundementally wrong but I just don't know what it is.

Tried these too: 28.2 HD Kanalreferenz 01.10.2010.rar (3.12 MB, 80 views)
No joy. Tried on usb and hdd. Also setup the usb using the mount manager... still didn't work
The VU+ can see the files via the mountpoints whether on the usb or hdd, they just dont get displayed in the GUI

PS. VIX 1.1

I have just re-installed image and scanned sat on 28. Then I go to VIX - Skin settings and set to USB - it tells me to put picons in: /mnt/sdb1/picon

I have done this rebooted box and ................ nothing
