Chocholousek Picons updater (Enigma2 plugin)

Chocholousek picons - plugin for updating Chocholousek's picons in Enigma2 (all EU satellites)

The original intent for developing this plugin was to save free space on the device's internal disk. The plugin downloads a series of file archives (7-zip) with picons, for user-selected satellite positions. From the archives, the plugin unpacks only the necessary picons to the internal disk (depending on the service reference codes found in the "userboquet" files).

In the new version of the plugin you can choose the method of updating the picons:

• Copy all picons: Delete all current picons as first
• Copy all picons: Incremental update (copy only new picons or picons with different file size)
• Sync with TV channel lists (userbouquet files)
• Sync with TV+RADIO channel lists (userbouquet files)

If the 7-zip archiver is not found on the system, it will be attempted to install it in two steps:

1. with package manager (i.e. attempt to install 7-zip from your Enigma feed server)
2. or attempt to download a standalone 7za binary file from internet

Functionality is guaranteed and tested on Enigmas based on the following OE cores:

• OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenBH, BH, VTi, PurE2 and some others - based on OE Alliance 4.x or OE 2.0
• OpenDreambox, Merlin, DreamElite - based on OE 2.5 and higher

Unfortunately, not all picon styles exist for all resolutions or vice versa - not all resolutions exist for every picon style (background). All picon styles are available only in picon resolution 220x132 (which can be considered the most used).

Please test the plugin and report bugs.

Thanks.

Grazie,molto bella e intuitiva, ma non scarica nulla, non li trova.

Thanks, very beautiful and intuitive, but it doesn't download anything, it doesn't find them.

The answer to your question:

You need to select the satellites you use on your device for which you want to download picons.

To open the satellite selection menu, move the cursor to "Satellites" and press OK on the RCU.

Thanks korn !

This is a more appropriate question for chocholousek :). I'm just a plugin developer, but Chocholoušek is a designer (author) of picon-packages.

However, it depends on the set resolution picon! Unfortunately, not all picon styles exist for all resolutions or vice versa - not all resolutions exist for every picon style (background). All picon styles are available only in picon resolution 220x132 (which can be considered the most used).

Hi @EML . Thanks for the report. If possible, please try the following commands in the terminal:

ping -c 1 -w 1 www.google.com
echo $?

ping -c 1 -w 1 www.google.com > /dev/null 2>&1
echo $?

ping --help

Nowhere else will be the problem. I use this primitive method to detect the internet - through system, without using a Python socket module, so the error must be in the problem ping "command". Thanks.

EDIT:

SatDreamGr uses the same command to test connectivity, but without the -w 1 argument. It is quite possible that the ping command in the SatDreamGr firmware does not know this argument (it only knows -c 1).

Please read the post #5: ChocholousekPicons updater (Enigma2 plugin)

Unfortunately, it all depends on what resolution picon you set.

Quote from tsotne

how to show picon favourites?

I do not understand your question.

What favorite picons do you mean ?

What are favorite picons ?

Unfortunately, the user icons for the channel list name do not address this plugin. So far, only channel icons (picons) are available in this plug-in.

I am planning to add picons conversion for OscamWebif ... but I don't have enough free time :). I have to solve (test in several Enigma distributions) dependence with another Python module for image processing (PIL / Pillow module).

Hello saragusa !

Please try updating the plugin to the latest version 2.0.191108 via the configuration plugin MENU (yellow button on RCU). You will have to reset the selection of the required satellites (the type of satellite selection has changed).

If the problem persists, can you describe it in detail ? Will you see any specific error while updating the picon ?

Are you sure you have enough free disk space ?

If a crash occurs in Enigma/OpenATV, a crash-log file should be created in the "/home/root" folder after the crash. Is there some crash-log file ? Can you send it to me as a private message or to a discussion forum ?

Alternatively, you can turn on DebugLOG in OpenATV, GUI-MENU, and then restart the set-top box. After the error, you will find the debug-log file in the "/home/root/logs" folder and there should be more details about the error.

Thanks.

I need to see the DebugLOG file. :derpthink:

The NOOP error is shown when the picon update process does not start at all for an unknown reason. The process is performed in a separate thread, and I will only see a specific error in DebugLOG.
