    But it already is FAT32 according to the laptop!

    But the Duo is saying FAT16 R/W which is baffling me.

    try formatting it with this tool

    Code:
    http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?45-USB-Format-Tool
    see if that makes the duo recognise it as fat32. see if it works with the picons too

    Just remembered that I used this same usb to flash the image and it worked so just follwed the above guide and it has worked a treat though one anomaly I have noticed.

    I use the rytec uk epg and noticed after install of the picons that the epg was empty.

    I had to download the 7 days once again but now all seems well.

    Hi redout,

    Did you manage to sort this?

    I'm experiencing exactly the same behaviour.
    My picons are in /media/usb/picon they show up fine when changing channels, but refuse to display within the ViX EPG.

    I'm using ViX 2.3 with a Vu Duo.

    Hi Punisher, Thanks for the reply.

    Yes I had turned it on and off a number of times and rebooted a few times too.
    I have managed to get the picons to display by reducing the number of lines (channels) showed from the default of 11 down to 6. They then magically appeared. It seems that with 10 channels the icons still stay there but with 11 they are gone completely.

    So the solution is to reduce the number of channels shown.

    If you mount picons via usb , does usb have to remain in usb port on box all the time to work?

    Hi!

    I am running following setup;
    Devicename: Vu+ Ultimo
    Enigma Version: Jun 28 2012
    Image Version: 2.4
    Frontprozessor Version: VNone
    Webinterface Version: 1.6.8

    My problem is the other way around, compared to the discussion earlier, regarding the picons. That is, I can see all picons in VIX EPG, but they do not show up in the Channel info. Anyone experienced this, and any ideas to overcome the problem?

    Regards,
    Johan

    Picons are stored in /media/usb/picon
    As said above, I can see the picons in the VIX EPG just fine, but in the channel info they are not shown. Can e.g. height/width ratio or other things about the pictures themselves matter? What factors can prevent the picture to be seen in the channel info, but still seen in the EPG? I have tried several skins also, but result is always the same.
