    Some extra information….

    Conventional picons, (service reference picons)

    These are named after the service reference of the channel. This is an example of a name:
    1_0_1_C743_96B_2_11A0000_0_0_0.png

    Service references change from time to time, so picon names also need to be updated when the changes occur.

    Service Named Picons (SNPicons)
    These were introduced by the ViX team and have been incorporated into most images. The picons are named after the service name. As channel names do not change often, the picons will need fewer updates. They also show for all channels with the same name, whatever their reference. They show whether a service is on any satellite, terrestrial or cable.

    SNPs do not override SRPs. They can exist in the same folder, SRPs take precedence.
    Please note: Ocram uses shared resources. You will get a clash when installing more than one of his picon sets.

    The conditions are:
    Replace “*” with “star”
    Replace “&” with “and”
    Replace “+” with “plus”
    Only letters a-z and numbers 0-9 are allowed
    Everything must be lowercase

    LraiZer’s AutoBouquets 28.2

    People who use the plugin sometimes have issues with picons. They normally enable the add number to name feature and find picons are no longer visible. This can be made to work, you must say you are using the plugin.

    LraiZer’s plugin also supports the SNPs. If you add the number to the name, the service name changes and the required picon name also changes, e.g. “bbconelon” will become “101bbconelon”.

    You can make the SNPicons work by using the “Create AutoPicon Links” feature. Set this to “ServiceNamePicons”. The links must be created on the same folder as the picons and be a Linux file system.

    If you have a problem, when asking for help, say that you are using the plugin and post a screenshot of your AB 28.2 settings page.

    AB 28.2 can also use conventional picons. It renames them and creates links. The link location must be on a Linux file system. As most people use SNPs, best not to use this feature.


    Simple answer for users of AB 28.2 who want to use SNPicons
    Ensure the "add number to name" feature is disabled on AB 28.2
    You can still enable the numbers through settings in most images apart from Graphical EPG
    There is no need to enable AutoPicon in AB 28.2

    Complicated answer for users of AB 28.2 who want to use SNPicons and "Add Number to Name"
    Picons must be on an ext file system device
    Enable AutoPicons within AB 28.2
    Links and picons must be on the same device
    In the link option select SNPicons

    Troubleshooting

    Hopefully the guide above will avoid any issues. If you need to ask for assistance on the forum, you will get better help if you post as much information as possible.

    1. Search the forum for existing threads.

    2. Enable the debug log and then upload it to your post.
    To enable the debug log:

    Menu > Setup > System > Logs > Settings > Enable debug logs
    Change this to yes using the left/right button.

    You will need to restart the receiver for the logs to be generated.

    You can see/change where you want debug/crash logs to be sent to in this screen too.
    Default location is /home/root/logs

    (How to add attachments covered in point 4 below)

    If you have more than one picon folder, there is no definite way for receiver to pick which folder is used. Your debug log will show which folder is being used.

    3. See this thread on how to start a support thread. Start it in the image support section.

    4. A picture is worth a thousand words! Maybe you can explain your problem better with a picture?
    See this guide on how to take a screenshot and attach it to your thread.
