I tried upper case (PICON)... no change... the plugin get stuck
I also tried to remove all picon folders from the machine , the plugin displays 7 or 8 error messages like "proc/xxx/.... : No such file or directory ! "... then it freezes and i have to power on/off the box

I just don't understand !!!!

and why the plugin does not create himself the picon folder if he cannot find it ? this is basic programming.... i don't get it and the thing is driving me crazy !

question : Do you remember how you launched the plugin Rat's picon the first time ? who creates the picon folder ?

I think I am close to understand the problem... I downloaded and executed the plugin...
the tool is STUCK at step "1 - LOOKING FOR YOUR PICONS FOLDER " !!!
yet i have two folders created with name picon
- /usr/share/enigma2 : here i have un alias picon redirecting to /picon created under root
- /media/hdd also containing a folder named picon

yet the plugin is unable to find my picon folder... that's why it is not working (i would think)

Do i need to also use Rat's bouquet updater ? or can i stay with my current setting (vHannibal) ? Do you know

Yes i tried the LinuxSupport plugin yesterday... I collected oktus picons for Astra 19°2 220x132 bundle... No change - i also tried xpicons from that same plugin menu

let me try your RATS PICONS on 28°2 E... although i don't think the problem is satellite dependant ... where can I find this ?

not sure i understand your answer... is there a different settings for each specific satellite ?

my question is not about changing picons... my question is that i can' make them work ?

an my focus is Astra 19,2° E and Hotbird 13° E

I really need help here... i flashed my Dm8000 with latest Dream Elite Image, and used Default-HD Skin

All is working fine but i can't activate picons... The path i select in setting is /usr/share/enigma2 . I issued appropriate "In -s /picon /usr/share/enigma2" command to create picon folder redirected to appropriate picon directory under root. I tried so many picons (may be 6 attempts) with different sizes (including 220 x 132) and different authors : Oktus, mmark, etc... I also tried Xpicons... I chmod'ed picon folders to 755 ... I just can't make one picon appear

i even changed skin to "MetrixDE-FHD"... no result

i also changed picon folder under /media/hdd/picon and updated the picon path setting accordingly

any hint of what i else i should try ?

Downloaded the plugin and activated
Located picons by oktus and downloaded first the Astra 19°2 220x132 bundle
Saw that the plugin created a new picon folder under root to store picons
Issued a new Code : "ln -s /picon /usr/share/enigma2 " to redirect the picon alias under enigma2 to the newly created pîcon folder under root !
restarted my box : no change !!!! picons still not working

I repeated the operations with a different size of picons 100x60 but no change !!!

what am i doing wrong ?

i spent all day with tries - Have a Dream Elite image loaded on a DM8000 - I collected picons from different sources (including mmark's etc.) - latest are 220x132 size transparent picons - put them in /media/hdd/picon folder and issued an "In -s .... " command to have a redirection picon alias folder in /usr/share/enigma2 as recommanded ... i also chmod'ed all folders to 755

... then rebooted my box but no way to have the picons working ! Tried with the "Default HD" skin and with "MetrixDE-FHD" .... no change !

any help appreciated

I have this very basic question : what is the difference in Oscam webif, last column to see the number of connceted cards diplayed in Red color vs black color

CONNECTED
(3 of 3 cards)

vs

CONNECTED
(3 of 3 cards)

Is the question i am asking so "unique" ?

I have here in from on my eyes an Oscam webinfo page (OSCAM 1.20-unstable_svn build r8218)... I have 20 servers showing say .... CONNECTED (0 of 1 card)

when i go to oscam.servers config (as shown above) an I comment the "ident" line .. say '"#ident = 183d:005411" and restart the server, webinfo shows now this ... CONNECTED (1 of 46 cards) showing 1 card at hop 1 ! strange ! when I click on the text to access the "readers" page of webinfo, i can see in the first line a card at hop1 but with "providers" cell BLANK ! (that's why i guess it is filtered out with the "ident" command)

Anyone else on earth observe the same phenomenon ?

Thanks

Ok ... here is the oscam.servers setting....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[reader]
label=11111.22222.com
enable=1
protocol=cccam
device=11111.22222.com,19002
user=33333
password=44444
cccversion=2.1.2
group=1
inactivitytimeout=1
reconnecttimeout=30
lb_weight=100
cccmaxhops=10
ccckeepalive=1
cccwantemu=0
#ident = 0b02:00000
---------------------------------------------------
whe i uncomment ident, i have the 0 cards at hop1

also note that the same setting is working fine with many many other servers i have.?.. however i am having this "empty" providers with about 1 out 15 servers (all with same setting ) !!!!

Anyone can explain to me please here ? I just realized in my Oscam webif that some of my servers show a caid (at hop 1) with no providers
- the status page shows the dns with "CONNECTED (1 of 78 cards) "
- when I click on this, I go to "Readers" webpage where the server is shown with a caid (eg 0b02) but with the column "Providers" Empty !

Therefore, when i filer out the reader with the ident command (eg ident = 0b02:00000) the server is shown with 0 cards at hop1 ! (yet when I call the server directly from CCcam with "no { 0:0:1 }", CCcaminfoPHP shows the server with 1 local card at hop1 with" CAID/Idents" column set in my example at "b02 : 0 Vectra PL [DVBC]/Redlight/UPC/DaVinci (13E/1W/4W/5W)")

My question is : why the "Providers" field is shown as blank in Oscam wbinfo ? may I deduct that i am not dealing with a valid card ?

Thanks

It took me time but i managed to cascase oscam withn cccam as indicated above

Now could some one tell me what is the value, the benefits of doing so as opposed to run oscam (or CCcam) stand-alone ! I still didn't catch the need for cascading !

BTW, in terms of performance, what is the best configuration : CCcam alone vs Oscam/CCcam ?

thanks
