Scripting the download of picons

[Daviemck]

I'm trying to work on scripting the install and uninstall of picons as part of a plugin I'm writing. Within my plugin I am currently call a .sh file which has this line in it:

opkg install enigma2-plugin-picons-srp-full.100x60-86x46.dark.on.reflection

This works, but installs said picons on the root.

When I use the modifer -o /hdd to attempt to install these to the HDD install of root (eg)

opkg install enigma2-plugin-picons-srp-full.100x60-86x46.dark.on.reflection -o /hdd

I now get the following error

Unknown package 'enigma2-plugin-picons-srp-full.100x60-86x46.dark.on.reflection'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install: Cannot install package enigma2-plugin-picons-srp-full.100x60-86x46.dark.on.reflection.

If I go to the picons.xyz site and download the IPK, store it locally in tmp and then use the following code

opkg install /tmp/enigma2-plugin-picons-srp-full.100x60-86x46.dark.on.reflection_2016-08-04--14-54-27_all.ipk -o /hdd

This works. So can anyone offer any advice as to how I could use the standard OPKG call using known feeds to install picons onto HDD?

Thanks in advance

They shouldn't be stored to an hdd. Flash or usb are best.

When you install picons from plugin server using the GUI, you will be able to select all locations that are in a Linux file system. You don't get an option if you do so by command line.

I would suggest you try an alternate approach. Install Ocram's feeds ipk. Install the picons. You can then script an opkg update function or just perform an update.

Another option is to download the tar files to HDD. Inflate and transfer to preferred location. As above, unless HDD is constantly spinning, best to use flash memory.

You may also wish to use SNPicons instead of SRPicons

My USB is mounted at /media/hdd

That is fine. A physical/mechanical HDD was implied in previous posts.

Well - You see if I use the command line and reference the IPK directly (so the full FQDN), I can use -o /hdd and it works fine. So it's obviously available as a command line option. When installing plugin, I assume that ultimately my input is converted into a command line.

I've already ascertained that I can move the directory post install, but then when I do a opkg remove it doesn't remove the directory and I have to clean up. But I have this as a work around already implemented. But it would appear that I'm going to have to work with this.

I have prefixed channels so SNPs don't work - SRP picons are working fine

Thanks for your input all - I think I'll just have to continue with the cleanup scripting I've been doing

Did you find a solution for this as im trying to do similar but want them to install on hdd/SkyQ/picon but also update via feeds is it possible to share what you have?
