    How to setup picons onto usb stick ViX

    In this tutorial I am going to show you how to put picons onto usb stick. This is 1 of a few ways of doing this and for me this is easier than unplugging usb plugging back in etc lol

    For this you need a usb stick formatted as fat32 or ext3 and the usb to be mounted correctly in device manager as media/usb
    You can check if this is the case by going to Menu/Setup/ViX/Devices Manager and should look like this below;

    screenshot1.jpg

    If your usb isnt mounted correctly then press "Green" to setup mounts then highligh usb and use you left and right arrows on your remote to get to media/usb and then press "Green" to save the settings

    screenshot2.jpg

    Download your desired picon set from the link below and extract the file

    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/forumdisplay.php?35-Picons
    Once usb setup correctly you will need to connect via FTP into the box
    For those that don't know how to setup FTP to the box then follow the first few steps of this guide to get your ftp setup

    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?8704-How-to-Install-CCcam-MGCamd-Others-on-Duo-Solo-Uno-ET9000-ET5000-ViX&p=64577#post64577
    Once connected to your box you should see the screen below (or similar)

    fxpftp.jpg

    Go to media/usb/ and create a folder in there called picon. so it should look like the screen below

    screenshot3.jpg

    Then transfer all the images from the picon set that you downloaded into the picon folder and once complete it should look like so

    picon.jpg

    Reboot the box if needed and the picons will be displayed in the info bar

    screenshot6.jpg

    If you also want the picons to be displayed in the epg then press the epg button on your remote and then menu

    If using PIG (Picture in Graphics) then you will need your settings to match below;

    screenshot4.jpgscreenshot4b.jpg

    If not using PIG (Picture in Graphics) then you will need your settings to match below;

    screenshot5.jpgscreenshot5b.jpg

    And thats it you now have picons setup on your ViX Image

    Hi,

    got all picons setup and running properly on VIX 2.1 but for some reason since VIX 2.0 I have been unable to get them displayed in the EPG. I've got all my settings as yours there but still no joy. Picons show up fine on the channel info. Any ideas?

    thanks

    Oh I thought that was an older post. I'll leave it be for the moment then as I've got everything else running sweetly and don't wanna stir things up by upgrading.

    I cant see what is wrong with the settings you posted above they seem to match what i have and the fact that ur picons show in channel infobar suggest that picons are set ok otherwise they wouldnt even show up in there. where are you picons stored anyway? also have you had a look in menu/setup/vix/devices manager and what is the devices in there mounted as?
