    Setting up Picons and LCD images

    Hello All,

    Just got a new Solo 4K which is great however having major issues with getting the Picons showing
    I have done the following

    Added USB drive, formatted then mounted
    Created the following folder media\usb\picon folder
    Downloaded from add ons as well as ftp'd some over from a user who did Virgin specific Picons
    Rebooted

    Still not showing.

    Do i need to enable these anywhere else in the system?
    Do i need to run a skin that has its own compatible Picons or can i use just any Picons with any Skin?

    Looking at forum posts this should be a 5 minute job so not sure where I am going wrong
    Running Vix V 5.0
    Vix_HD-Night (Skin)

    Thanks in advance

    Yes. You have to go into the menu to get them showing.
    Menu.setup.user interface.channel selection. Change show picons in service list to yes.
    Menu setup.epg. Graphical infobarepg. Change service title mode to pic on and service name.
    Menu setup epg. Grahival epg. Same as above.

    To show them on the lcd you have to go to the lcd4linux settings and point them to your usb.

    I would not use LCD4Linux on the Solo 4K or the Ultimo 4K if you want just picons showing on the front display panel.

    MK Picons look fab on the front display panel on the Solo 4K & Ultimo 4K, especially the 400x240 ones. Can be found here >> http://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/d...channel-icons/

    I think they are great, but I have so many satellites I can receive
    from 75E-37.5W so I need many more picon.

    I'm picking picon here http://forum.techneteuweb.eu/viewtopic.php?f=257&t=2267
