    It doesn't at the moment. It just builds snp picons.
    Slyk epg 7 day has an extra cross reference where it looks up the name in the lamedb file and and gets the sid reference from there. It is quite a bit of code that does that.

    As there is only sky uk working now in epiconizer, and these names match sky uk satellite channels on your box, I have no desire to put in srp picon code.
    Use a 3rd party picon assigner like e-channelizer if you need to match none satellite sky uk channels.

    e-channelizer has gone a bit commercialised now. Some of the better features you have to pay for now where originally they were free. Greed always wins in the end.
    But its only a small price to pay if you find its features useful. I stopped using it once it became a paid product. Which is a shame, because it was useful.

    Hello,

    I am trying to get this going on my DM920 running Dream Elite 7.2 I couldn't get the ipk to install, probably no longer possible although i did try with dpkg and even that wouldn't install.

    I tried to copy it all from github onto my system but got into so much trouble trying to get the python to run, E2piconizer fails it seems because python pillow is missing. I couldn't get pip working well enough to be able to install pillow.
    Does anyone have it going, can anyone offer any clues as to how they did it?

    Picons differ on different images.
    This plugin is primarily for oe-alliance images, like openatv, openvix, openpli etc.
    There was only ever an .ipk for that reason.

    It probably wont work on dreamboxes and definitely wont work on VTI.

    I can create you a deb file if you want, but I have zero confidence it will work on dreamboxes

    ** A person who feels appreciated will always do more than what is expected **

    I guess that explains the struggle I had to get the right python setup (resulted in me having to reflash dream elite). There is a picon downloader with dream elite but it doesn't have any of the picons (freesat 28.2 e) that I want. maybe I can pick in their code and yours and find a way to get it to offer those i want.

    Thanks very much for your explanation.

    If anyone ever wants these 28.2e picons without installing this plugin. just shout. They are just scraped from sky tv guide.
    The program literally takes about 30 seconds to run. I zip them up and post them. Simples.


    The plugins only advantage is you can completely change the style of your picons or just download the ones you missing after a broadcast update.

    But default, transparent picons are perfectly fine for most people.

    We also have this picon request thread run by oktus for any missing picons. If you weren't aware. But do search that thread before requesting.
    Picons per piece

    and here is todays scan sky 28.2e. 515 picons

    wombatch

    ps, just noticed I put them in a "picons" folder. The folder on your box is "picon" (Now corrected the attachment)

    The deb package crashed as well (slightly different message) but thanks for the picons I'll work through them to get them the names that will work on my box.

    Epiconizer is dead - long live PiconMaster


    :robot: :face screaming in fear:  

    Ok due to a conversation going on about Chochoulsek stopping updating his picons (which a lot of people have used for years).


    original post here:
    various sources/pages for manually updating the picons of the different satellites

    I have decided to rewrite my epiconizer plugin to include more picons other than just sky 28.2e from sky uk tv guide.

    To do this I have to use a global tv source api. By fair means or foul. *cough*

    At the same time Lululla has been busy updating a repo to keep the original work of Chochoulsek alive.
    So my plan is to also reference these github files at some point. As there is a huge source of picons in there.
    Referencing github files directly is a little bit tricky. But I think I found a way to do it.

    So phase 1.
    Rewrite the Sky UK bit
    Separate downloader.
    Separate picon designer.

    Phase 2
    Incorporate global TV API sources.

    Phase 3
    Incorporate github sources. :scratch_one-s_head:

    I have already been doing a little bit of work on this, this week. And got a few screens put together already.
    So watch this space. This is my next project I am currently working on in the background.

    it's a monstrous job.

    but since piconsupdater creates a file with both the references and the name of the channel, you could do a better search if you wanted

    on github I think 220 picons are fine since they are not of great quality, but as I was saying it's "me mom and you", in the sense that no one wants to give a hand. So or later I thought.

    What do I care, I have the premium life licenses of echannelizer - isetting etc. I don't lack picons.. So.

    ... I'm going to relax, then if I see that someone helps it's good otherwise I don't get a headache.

    Good work my friend, if you need me give me a whistle, I'm always here for you.


    many picons enfact
