Aye, thanks for bearing with me! :) I think now that I have the details I will raise a bug to the OpenATV guys and let them know my findings and find out if I am using the mount functionality wrongly. In the mean time, my "hack" of your picon.py file fixes the problem and allows me to use an FSTAB mount setup. Thanks again for your hard work. I owe you a beer on next payday.

Ok, so I have found my issue. If I change my mount from FSTAB to AUTOFS, then its fine. If I change it back to FSTAB, then picons don't work from /media/hdd/picon. My guess is that the enigma2 code just doesnt handle FSTAB mounts the same as AUTOFS mounts, as in it doesn't trigger the mount commands and thus doesn't flag the picon code properly.

So I think I have got to the bottom of my picon issue on my rig. After understanding how to debug the enigma box properly with the python print commands and where they were going, I added some extra logging into the skin and can see what was happening. In short, my "searchPaths" list in the picons.py code was getting emptied of my mounted drive. Not found out why this is the case yet, but I was able to frig this by manually readding it to the list if it was empty. This solved it from the EPG top right picon display for the selected channel, but not for the info bar.

I guess there is something not quite right with my NAS drive mount which is causing the "harddiskmanager" to remove the mount from the list at some point. That is my next project to find out why that happens, because I expect that is what then stops picons showing everywhere else.

KiddaC thanks for the offer of help, but I am learning how enigma2 hangs together, so hopefully I should get the to bottom of it.

Ive got a day off work today, so been trying to debug why picons arent showing on my infobar. I looked at the XML file to see what was being called and can see that the XML files are all fine, and I am using the right size downloaded file on my hdd. I then looked at the Picon.py code (Slyk18Picon.py) and enabled the two logging lines in def changed(self, what):...

print "\n******* png" + str(pngname)

print "\n******* last" + str(lastPiconPath)

I made sure the pyo file was rebuilt by removing the pyo and reselecting the skin. This seemed to create a new pyo, so am assuming this kicked in the logging lines. I then ran up a SSH session and ran:

ENIGMA_DEBUG_LVL=4 enigma2

I followed through the log output to see what was being used for picons. I can see it is using the right path, because that was being logged:

12:58:20.4528 Components/Renderer/Slyk18Picon.py:70 onMountpointAdded [Picon] adding path: /media/hdd/picon/

Randomly though, even though I am watching debugging, I cannot see any PRINTS for the code I readded.

What am I doing wrong when it comes to trying to view debugging output from the skin plugin?

Haha! Ive only just got it... I don't want to lob it out of the window just yet (though I think the mrs does... no patience!). Anyway, it all seems to install ok (that I can tell). Just no picons in places I would expect to see them. "/media/hdd/picon" is a valid location yeah?

Maybe I need to upgrade my OpenATV version from 6.2 to something later....

So I had a browse through the box and had a look in the "/usr/share/enigma2/picon"". In there I could see some picons using the SRP name in the root, and a folder called xtream which had SNP picons. I removed just the SRP ones, and this then broke the "Channel Select (TV Button)" screen picons. I then removed the SNP, and then the picons came back, so I assumed that this was stopping the "/media/hdd/picon" folder from being used.

Still hasnt resolved picons not showing in the info bar though :crying: Still looking into it. I think I am going to have to enable logging to see what is happening.

I have been testing the latest openatv today to see whats broke/changed.

IPKs not loading but showing no errors. Fully reboot your box (not just gui). Then try again.

When you say this, do you mean with regards to installing the skins, i.e. reboot before installing, or fully reboot after installing? Is it worth removing and reinstalling after a full reboot?

So I have recently got rid of my old Sky sub and have probably a week or so left of my sub. Once the subs finish, is there any point to trying to use OSCam and my card to see if I can use it in my Zgemma box? Will it actually give me anything onto of the FTA channels that I get without using a card?

If it does, I read that as I have used my sky card (white one) in my Sky+ box, I won't be able to reuse it because of pairing? I think I have an old HD box in the loft, can this be used to unpair, or is there no way back for that card?

Thanks

Yup, openatv 6.2. screen shot of my versions.

I decided to start using this Slyk Q skin yesterday, and got it installed and am very happy with it! Good work! I though I would go about getting some picons installed, so installed the piconizer plugin and downloaded picons to my drive, "/media/hdd/picon". They show up in the "Channel Select (TV Button)" screen, but not for the "Graphical EPG (EPG Button)" or "Infobar (OK Button)" and "SecondInfobar (OK Button Twice)".

Is there a specific size I should be downloading the picons at in piconizer? I assumed that downloading to the location mentioned, and the fact that they get picked up on one screen seems to suggest the location is ok, or do I still have to manually copy them somewhere else?

Many Thanks

I am using a SkyNEW skin on my h9.2s, and for the most part, it's all good. I just seem to have a layout issue on the recordings page.

I have a few series links and each item seems to span incorrectly across the table.

I am assuming it is something to do with my settings for that page.

Any ideas?

Edit: Its the Chabs skyNEW skin, however I have now moved onto another skin, so have removed this skin from my box.
