VU+ Plugins - EPG, Autosettings & OSD Picons not showing on Cool TV guide

[strummer]

After a fresh BH 2.1.7 install, Cool TV Guide (7.3.0) is not showing Picons, that are stored on media/usb/picon.

The picons are visible on the BH channel list and info bar on channel change, but for the life of me I can not get them to display in the CTVG grid system.

I know in previous CTVG versions there was an option to set the picon path manually but there does not seem to be this menu option anymore?

Thanks Ten, can always rely upon you to help :grin:

I was using Rats picons and after some research found out that CoolTV guide uses Service reference picons Rats picons are now service name picons so they wont work.

I am looking for some service reference picons that have an updater plugin. (like Rats has). I will have a read of the picon help you posted

Do you recommend any mate?

I downloaded them and they look good and all show up in coolTV guide. Nice one

The info bar only shows the top 1cm of the picon the rest is not shown, is it something to do with the resolution?

is it something to do with the resolution?

Bingo!

Although the Picon size 220 x 132 seems OK to me it maybe too big for the skin being used (which I find a bit odd)?

Perhaps you will need to find a smaller set or see if there is a setting in settings that sets displayed size to 'skin default'. Might be an idea to see what size the original ones where and then source a same sized set that is similar to the Nephilim set posted by Ten.

These ones work perfectly - All sorted
