Picon help please

[kklass]

Hi all I got Amiko shd 8900 and I’m trying to download some missing picon logos for a few channels on 28.2 when I go into the plugins menu and press the green button it’s just a blank screen it’s not downloading anything !!!! I’m using the vix4 image

Choose and download which picons you want from here

h***s://github.com/picons/picons/releases

and ftp the one you need to where to have them stored. Usually media>usb.

Hi pal so I can't find the plugin on the box it won't show the plugins

[Satcat]

I don't know why you can't download them from plugins, but if you download them on you computer from the web site, then ftp then to your box.

Ok cool I've downloaded it to computer now, so do I remotely add them through the computer instead to the box? Any help on ftp it over this way pretty please please

[Satcat]

This is the file I use download from the list on that website

After downloading extract using Winrar or something similar then you will need a program such as filezilla or DCC (Dreambox control centre) to send it to your box.

Nice one pal, so I just want to confirm a few steps, when I extract the ipk file it now shows as a folder is this correct please?

[Satcat]

The file is a tar.xz file just extract it to a library on your computer then click on the file to open it then choose which picon you want.

Or delete the picons you already have, and ftp all the new ones . Although this takes quite a long time.

Right this is where I'm at!!!!!! I'll send screenshots maybe this will be better to navigate I'm trying everything here

I don't know what you are tryng to do in webif. Just download the picon file and extract it to a library on your computer using winrar,

[kklass]

But how do I get it to the box, the picon plugin does not show

[Satcat]

Forget about the plugin. You need to download either filezilla or DCC which will allow you to transfer the picons from you computer directly to your box.

[kklass]

Thanks I'll download now phewwwwwwww lol

[kklass]

I've downloaded Dcc and I'm connected to box

[kklass]

How can I just add the missing ones as drag and drop does not work

[Satcat]

Open the picon folder on the left hand side of DCC, highlight the picon you want on the rh side, click on the left facing arrow to send it across.

This is the ipk file I downloaded do I need the a different format as I can't just take from left to right , and sorry for all the questions mate

[Satcat]

Did you download the file as in post #6?
Have you extracted the downloaded picons to a folder on your computer? If so open that folder on the right hand side of DCC and choose the picon you want and click on the arrow to send it across.

[kklass]
