    Please note this plugins download picons to media/hdd so you need to make sure your storage device is mounted correctly as media/hdd or it will fail to run the script please see the sub forum for your box/image for setting up mounts.

    Goto plugins, Dsayer Picon Updater


    You should now have the option to run SRP_Picon_Updater or SRP_Picon_Updater

    This should mean that you can have both standard picons (100x60) for most skins and large picons for skins that support XPicons ie SlykQ, SkyQ, Slyk Onyx plus more


    You can still use this for standard skins that use 100x60 picons then you can delete the SkyQ folder or leave it on as it wont do any harm being there.


    These plugins will download light on transparent picons as its the most natural colour to suite most skins


    As this is still early days and beta we may see bugs etc so always make sure you have a full backup of your box see your box/image section for creating a backup

    nice one was about to ask you about this



    can i ask why hd though,iv found picons on hd sometimes slow box down as its accessing the drive to get the picons ,unless someone has a better answer to the picons on hd verses flash??


    Not all boxes can handle the memory in root especially with large picons so ive just done it for hdd then it should work for most enigma2 boxes.

    Hi,


    I'm wondering about Paul's point - is there any way you could point the move location to a USB pen drive, rather than HDD. I use one mounted in SDC1 and I have my EPG stored there and my time shift.


    I have stored picons there before which is handy as when you flash a new image you keep your picons.


    Is this possible?

    Not sure what you mean keep them after reflash your picons will still be on hdd and you'll still keep them as long as you don't re initialize your hdd.


    Paul was on about having them on internal flash so a reflash will loose them.


    Not everyone has both usb and hard drives attached so if they only have a usb it's normally mounted as hdd.

    Hi,


    Thanks for reply. I've never liked keeping my picons on HDD as the drive has to stay awake and spinning all the time.


    If in USB pen drive, there's no moving parts, cheaper to replace than HDD and also quicker to access as they are solid state.


    Is there a way I can amend your code to point to SDC1 or even flash drive, which is where I keep mine at the mo.

    Ok try the attached scripts one to move to usb the other to move to root with the root script I have only added standard picons as I think having both in flash is not A good idea as large picons are big in memory. If your usb isn't mounted as usb just change lines 3 and 6 in the move_picons_to_usb.sh


    Ftp the chosen script to usr/script on openatv and user/script on vix check the propertys are 644 or 755


    Run the chosen script manually after running the piocon updater



    To run the script OpenATV Menu > infopanel > plugins > Jobmanager


    OpenVIX Menu > setup > vix > script-runner

    Hey D,


    Why is there a '-f' before the mv command in that script?


    I'm looking st changing it slightly - to move to USB, but don't understand the -f?


    Can you explain?

    Sorry, to explain what I'm looking to do..,


    Run your downloader

    Run script to move Xpicons to my USB Drive (sdc1).

    Run script to move normal picons to root.

    -f to move folder I think. And it should be after the mv command


    So you want normal picons on root change

    Code
    echo 'Moving small picons to usb - Please Wait'
mv -f /hdd/picon /usb/picon 
to 
echo 'Moving small picons to usb - Please Wait'
mv -f /hdd/picon /picon
