Help with Picon installation

[abu baniaz]

The majority of picons on the plugin download server are built from Ocram sources. Unless, someone else with a Duo2 confirms that ocram's picons work with LCD4Linux, I once again repeat my advice to not not use Ocram's picons. This is while you are investigating your issue.

MK's picons are here:

https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/downloads/picons-channel-icons/mk-220x132-snp-picons/

They have not been updated for a long time, but let's start off with confirming if those work.

Downloaded MK 400X240 installed in media/usb/picon, removed previous picons via downloads. New picons showing on EPG but still not showing on the VU Duo 2 screen.

maybe read and do what was said in #40. No is is pure gambling.

 

[psionguy]

This has been done, if you check back on the comments, happy to do it again if it would help.

the only image I see is with the directory.No images about settings as I showed.The problem is probably in there. Maybe copy a setting from LCD4 examples to your box and see if it works then.

Ps : do you see anything on the LCD4 screen ?

Sorry was unable to read your setting file to do a comparison, please find attached mine.

setting must be internal VU+ duo 2 LCD 400x240

 

[psionguy]

setting must be internal VU+ duo 2 LCD 400x240

That did it, many thanks. I wonder if using the picons from downloads was the main issue, where do you get your picons from for your Vu Duo2 ?

Pleased to report that the MK picons are working. all though are limited to freesat, but certainly better than a blank screen.

@Psionguy
You have changed two things and it now works. After you changed the settings it worked. So the picons may not be the issue.

@Bellejt
Can you please try the picons from the plugin server.

 

[bellejt]

@abo ; will try the both sets picons tomorrow if possible and come back with FB.

 

[bellejt]

just tested the picons MK and working fine on my LCD4
