    Default PLicons for Optus C1 available

    Just noticed that you can now get PLicons for Aurora, Fox and Austar now via the Software downloads menu.

    Most of the icons seem to be there (and for a few the colours look a bit messed up), but it's nice to have them

    Thanks mate, installed it, although it is missing some.

    I have noticed on the foxtel download site under channels are there gif images of the channels, does anyone know how to make new PLicons, or if it is easy to do?

    There is something on the PLi wiki regarding making your own Plicons

    Off the top of my head, they need to be png format, a certain size (70x53 pixels I think?), and 256 colours (8 bit).

    You need to create a symbolic link with a particular filename related to the channel details, which is pointing to the png file for each channel.

    Check the wiki.

    I know this is for the PLi image.

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me where they need to be installed for a Gemini Enigma2 image?

    Cheers,
    Hoffy

    Nothing, the icons will now appear in your EPG. Just press your red button and you will now have pretty little pictures beside most of your channels.

    you do need a skin that supports picons - like xline
    Dm500, DM5620, DM600 x2, DM7000 x1, DM7020, DM7025, DM800, VU+DUO and a partridge in a pear tree
    All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing

    Hi all,

    The reason why some are missing is because either some of the required information is either missing or incorrect on lyngsat. The PLicons that appear in the download menu are harvested from there so if we fix that, the next time the menu is updated it should all work.

    Does anyone know of any other Plicon compatible skin apart from xline that works with a DM500 or 600?
