HowTo: Convert Standard Picons For Use In Oscam Web Info
This guide shows how to use the base64picon programme to convert regular E2 picons to .tpl format for use in oscam webinfo, first download the 2 attached files and extract base64picon to your desktop, the second file is a batch file renaming programme & is not required but makes life easier especially if you have many picons to convert.
Now with the base64picon extracted to your desktop copy inside this folder the picons you wish to convert.
We now need to rename the picons to the format reconised in oscam webinfo which is like this
Caid_ChannelId
In this tutorial i am using JSC 1-10 for hotbird Viacces Card, if you look above at the highlighted text below the JSC+3 picon this is the channel ID and the caid of viaccess is 0500 so we rename this picon
0500_2057
Edit: i have since found it easier & more reliable to use an up to date oscam.srvid file to get the correct channel id
Do this for all picons so it looks like this
For the base64picon program to be able to convert your picons it requires them to have the extension .pn so we need to change the extension from .png to .pn
Rather than rename them all manually just use the batch file converter and do the lot in one go.
Here is a screenshot of how to set it up for this.
Now all your picons should have the .pn extension and are ready to convert.
Double click on the base64picon.exe file and a window will appear like this and a new folder will be created named oscam_picons
oscam_picons folder contains your new picons ready for use
