What are Picons
Picons are channel logos which are linked to one or more TV channels using a service reference or a simplified version of the channel name. so using Picons you can add Channel logo's for your TV channels (Sat or Cabel).
How do I get Picons
They can be installed on Enigma2 satellite receivers and can be downloaded from the Plugins. They can be present in the left or right side of the screen, in the channel list and in Webif. There are a lot to choose from, they differ in style and size, example: "snp-full.220x132-190x102.light.on.transparent" like in the picture below, the green marker arrow points to the picon of the BBC in the left corner.
Whats is the difference between UTF8, SNP and SRP Picons
SRP picons are based on Service References and must therefore match what the provider is broadcasting.
SNP picons are based on Service (channel) Names, certain characters in the channel names are replaced making them much more flexible, but require slightly more processing.
UTF8 picons are also based on the Service (channel) Names. However, only characters prevented by sanitizeFilename will be omitted.
Picons settings
You can change a few settings concerning the picons, like where the picons will appear. Firstly, change the "User mode" from Normal to Advanced or Expert
Menu > Setup > System > Expert Settings > User mode More details here: https://wiki.openpli.org/Tips_and_Tweaks#Access_level_or_User_Mode
Then go to Main menu -> Setup -> Gui Settings -> User Interface and enable show picons in the channel selection list.
When you have a LCD screen on your receiver, you can also add the picons there. To set it, go to Main menu -> Setup -> System -> GUI Settings -> USer interfaces and enable show picons in the display
Notice: when you install the picons in the memory of your box, they will use quite a bit of memory size. As an alternative you can install them on external media. Also a restore of an AutoBackup can take a bit more time, as the picons collection can be large, because the picons maintainers don't know which channels and satellites you will use, so there are many.
