Kodi, HDD, Channel List & Vu+ Solo 2 in general

[Celldweller]

Just waiting for picons to download.

Tried adding the channel number but it isn't appearing anywhere. Could it be because of the confluence skin?

Picons aren't appearing either.

I downloaded the MK 400×240 SNP Picons list. Drag and dropped the file onto a USB stick (formatted to FAT32) and into a folder named picon, plugged into back of the vu+ box and restarted GUI. Loaded it all back up and nothing

Think I know the issue with picons

Nope. All the Picons (images) need to be in a folder called "picon" to the root of the USB flash drive. No other folders or anything. So structure will be usb/picon/(all individual images)

If you press the Ok button to bring your infobar up this will now show the Channel Number?
Also while watching TV and you press the EPG button this will now show the Channel Numbering to all the relevant progs?

That's what I did wrong. Unzipped them and then put images in individually and it is now working

Just channels - I haven't deleted anything off the box. But the number doesn't appear. I looked at examples but nothing appearing.

 

[Celldweller]

Nothing is appearing - only the name of the channel.

Is there any way of getting BBC to channel 101 etc?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Did you follow my instructions to put channel numbers on infobar and graphical epg as per my post #40?

It worked there for a moment but whenever I go on to it, it automatically goes to all channels rather than the channel list

In my ABM I don't have "Main Bouquet" as I prefer "Section Bouquets" and this gives me the proper numbering and the individual sections.

How is your ABM setup? Use WebIf if you want to upload any pictures to show me your settings etc?

How would I get into webif?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

On your pc and open your browser you would type in your Vu+ Solo2 ip address and this opens WebIf. From here you can also control the box from the menu options etc within WebIf and can also take pictures, so handy if you wanted to upload a picture with your settings or even pictures where you want channel numbering etc so we can try n grasp what you are after etc. [emoji1]

So if you ip is for eg 192.168.1.55 that is what you would type.

That would be all of them.

This is raising more questions - sorry for constantly asking other questions, you seem to know your stuff.

- Can I access webif from outside the wifi network?
- Is it possible to get Irish channels?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

You could access the box outside the wifi network. You are probably best with VPN to make it secure.
What is your current setup for your channels? Do you use Sky UK in ABM to get your list or is it just Freesat?

Sky basic package

 

[Andy_Hazza]

In your ABM settings do the following; So Menu > Setup > Service Searching > ABM > Configure and where it says Include "not indexed channels", change this to Yes and the press the Green button to save and the Start Scan. When the scan has finished, press the TV button at the bottom left on the Vu+ remote.
But before you start the scan, can you go in Providers and change your region to "xxxxx Custom". Doing this gets rid of the unwanted HD channels we can't access and includes some Irish channels for ya. Also I Enable swap in here so 101 is BBC 1 HD, 103 is ITV HD etc.

I don't think it worked.

Do Irish channels need a full subscription?
