picons not showing

[buz]

What should the settings be though in lcd4linux. I have changed the path to where they are but still don't show

[buz]

Or do snp Picons not work on vu duo 2 lcd?

I Haven't Got A Duo2, I've Got The Quad+, But I Install The OE-A_LCDskin_5 From 'Display' In The Plugins... Set The LCD Skin In Front Panel Display(Settings), And It Works With Both SNP And Ref Picons...

I see a lot of people are having problems getting the picons to show on the LCD screen even when the path and all settings are correct. I came across the same issue the other day, but it appears the LCD will only show picons using the reference naming convention.
When I put ones named as the channel they will shown everywhere accept on the LCD hope this helps some.

picons on LCD work only with reference named picons.On VU duo2 you can easely puth them in root directory (flash memory).I have my my LCD picons in /LCD4picon and picons EPG in /picon.

I see alot of people with this issue so I am guessing they have the wrong picons so was just just trying to help them

[hammyboy]

sorry to jump in but maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong in that I cannot get the picons to display on the lcd.
I have a duo2 and have downloaded the mk picons 400 x 240 uk (snp) 29th april from the feeds to root in folder called picon and they display on the info bar and channel list etc but I cannot seem to work out how to activate them in the display lcd4 Linux setup.

I have attached a photo of the menu page where I suspect picon needs to be activated but admit I am lost as to how to get them to display.

picon is set to screen 1 and the path is /picon/

Lcd4linux has not been coded to work with SNPs. An email to the plugin author bounced.

There are conventional picons on openvix.co.uk

Abu, Does The Duo2 Need To Use LCD4Linux, And Is It Installed As Standard On The Duo2??? The Reason I Ask Is, I Have No Problem What So Ever Showing SNPs On My Quad+ LCD's... I Just Use The Display Skin OE-A 5...

I Know LCD4Linux Has A Lot More Options, But If You Want To Simply Fill The LCD With The Current Channel Picon, And Have SNP Picons, The Display Skin OE-A 5 Is The Best Option... Can This Not Be Done On The Duo2???

[abu baniaz]

One is LCD, the other is the front display panel. Duo 2 has both.

I don't have a duo2, but suspect that if somone changes the Front Display Panel skin, it should work as you have mentioned. It does on my LX3, but looks very poor.

I have duo2 and filling the LCD4 with a picon is simple.Changing can be done by webif.But for now the picon needs to be channel referenced.
Also the VFD can be changed but that is much more difficult.

Thanks Abu, That Explains A Lot...

As a point of interest, LCD4Linux has had numerous upgrades by the author, I think the current version is now 4.5.

[bellejt]

latest I have her is 4.5 r2

[psionguy]

Yes that is the latest, and it is now included in the new Hades image. What Picon set are you using, playing around with a few with mixed results.
