[VU+ Duo4K] Picons not loading after full reboot

[bbbuk]

In my previous message I replied to bbbuk, the place you probably remember is the same place I did it and it does work great when the system is up and running.

So as it stands now the picon folder on /media/usb/picon, doesn't resolve issue?

If not, could you try unplugging external drive and reboot and see if that does?

Just trying to see if multiple HDDs cause it. It shouldn't as it's clear it know where the picons are from debug log.

for LCD4 you need to specify path in second page "on" .

Yes the picons look fine on the GUI, I actually do not use them on the LCD with L4L. They're only displayed on the infobar, channel list and EPG screens. I use L4L because it's easier to modify the screen layout rather than modify the xml files by hand. They each have their pros and cons though...

Sorry, I don't fully understand. Is there ever a problem with the GUI and picons? I am trying to establish what problem we are trying to fix, "picons not displaying on front pane displayl" or "picons not displaying on GUI" or both those.

Picons on GUI. Sorry, should have cleared that up before. So the picons do not display on the GUI after full reboot. Nothing related to the LCD or L4L.

 

[bbbuk]

So if you do a restart of GUI (ie quick restart), picons work on GUI (for clarification this is infobar, epg screens, etc)?

If so, is it only when you do a full restart of entire box? What do you need to do to get them working or do they work after a short time (ie box is still busy in background)?

Yes that's correct.

Yes, only after a full restart. Doesn't matter how long I wait, they will not be displayed anywhere on the GUI.

If you put your picons on the main internal hdd (normally /media/hdd/picon ), removed ones on USB (put please leave USB stick plugged in - maybe just rename folder so it will not find them), and did a full reboot?

There was a similar thread some time ago where the mountpoints were getting confused, something to do with the USB 3 speed. MAybe @ccs can find it sa he is our expert searcher and link poster.

Until it is fixed, might be an idea to remove the extra HDD and. You can play recordings over the LAN.

Not this year! The thread rings a bell, and the nearest I found was
https://www.world-of-satellite.com/...ame-mountpoint&p=474702&viewfull=1#post474702

but the OP stopped posting so there is no resolution.

It's the kind of problem @birdman sorts out, so maybe he can remember it (sorry!!).

Did that, and picons load and are displayed on the GUI properly every time after a full reboot.

One thing I noticed. Still only one picon folder on /media/usb (/dev/sdb1). If the picons are not displayed, I also cannot set debug logs to be saved on the /media/usb or /media/sdc1 (USB HDD). If the picons are displayed properly, I can set logs to be saved into both of the mentioned USB devices. So, somehow the system (or GUI) is not actually detecting the USB devices at some point and hence picons are not loaded.

Debug logs show no change from the one I attached previously.

It does look like its related to mountpoint then.

Do you have a USB 2 stick you could try instead to confirm if it because it's USB3 ?

 

[ccs]

… the front port is usb2 so maybe try that?
