Picons: How to add picons to your receiver

[abu baniaz]

Transferring picons

You can also transfer picons to your receiver. Before we go into detail, let us understand the following:

Folder name
The picons must be in the folder called “picon”. The receivers use a Linux operating system. Linux is case sensitive, windows is not. Linux will see the following as two different folders, Windows treats them as if they are the same.

/media/usb/picon This is correct
/media/usb/Picon This is incorrect

Common mistakes:
Wrong folder names. Following are all wrong “Picon”, “Picons”, “picons”

Location:
You can use the following locations:

/picon
/media/hdd/picon
/media/usb/picon
/media/cf/picon
/usr/share/enigma2/picon
(Or “picon” folder on root of storage device)

If you put them in a sub-folder (folder within a folder), they will not show!

Here are some screenshots to explain
