[TUTO] How to setup picon ZZZ on OpenATV 8.0 image

Step 1: Choose Your Storage Location

The ZZZ Picons are high-quality and take up significant space. Do not save them to internal Flash memory on older boxes.

  • Recommended: Use a USB stick or an SD card mounted as /media/usb/.

  • Create Folder: Create a folder named exactly picon (lowercase) in the root of your drive.

    • Path: /media/usb/picon/


Step 2: Transfer the Picons

  1. Download: Get the latest ZZZ Picon pack (usually a .zip or .tar.gz file).link:https://www.enigma2.net/category/enigma2/picons/

  2. Extract: Unzip them on your PC. You will see hundreds of .png files named after Service Reference IDs (e.g., 1_0_19_...png).

  3. Upload: Use an FTP client (like FileZilla) to copy all these .png files into the picon folder you created in Step 1.


Step 3: OpenATV Configuration

Once the files are uploaded, you need to tell OpenATV where to look for them:

  1. Open Settings: Press Menu > Setup > Usage & GUI > Channel Selection Settings.

  2. Enable Picons: Ensure “Show picons in channel list” is set to Yes.

  3. Picon Path: Usually, OpenATV auto-detects the /media/usb/picon/ path. If they don’t appear, go to Menu > Setup > Usage & GUI > OSD Settings and verify the picon path there.

  4. Save: Press the Green button (OK) and restart the GUI.
