ocram picons

[Rob van der Does]

Well, as you should never install picons on the HDD I can't see the real problem.

 

[rossi2000]

is there a way to build just the SHD white picons?
the whole picons took almost 3 hours to build on my server. thats far too long imo.
id like to carry them on and add to our feeds, but im only interested in building the white SHD ones, the scripts give me a headache lol

can you assist ocram?

why not just set them to build once a day in the early hours of the morning ?, that way we can still carry all the ocram picon packs and it wont really cause any issues.

 

[rossi2000]

i dont mind doing this and hosting, but i'll need people to contribute. (CABLE needs adding to ocram for a start)

need write accress to ocrams git or we can just clone it somewhere else and pull in the updates from ocrams git.


thoughts?

Why would you need to rebuild them daily? Do they change on some way every 24 hours? Aren't they just static images?

 

[rossi2000]

dont need to rebuild everyday

they can be built anytime.

i dont see the problem if you have timeshift enabled hard drive will be spinning anyway, when on standby it will stop spinning, ya i can see the point internal flash if have enough space which new receivers seem to have plenty of now

No idea why you would need access to ocrams git after you download the scripts?

 

[Rob van der Does]

It will slow down zapping (even if the drive is already spinning, but if it isn't it will even cost you seconds).
And why use a slow location when you've got plenty of space on a fast location?

Clone it.

 

[rossi2000]

judge, cloning it will not give me access to the picons git....
cloning just copies the git to my pc.

 

[judge]

Cloning it copies all the picons to your host & the scripts use those picons to create the packs.

 

[rossi2000]

omg, judge that has nothing to do with updating the git.

@rossi2000
Ever heard of pull requests?
Direct write access is only for those who made a lot of PR without any mistakes.

 

[rossi2000]

yes thanks, but i cba with those.

i did test both places , not noticed any speed difference, its just like love to keep flash memory free as possible, i have a solo 2 and have around 60mb free with all other plugins installed with picons its down to 50mb

What's wrong with having only 50MB free flash storage instead of 60MB? Your box isn't going to explode with 50MB free storage...

 

[Rob van der Does]

So you bought the flash for nothing

Probably because most of his boxes are cheap clones and as such very likely to explode if the flash is filled LOL.
