    Cool TV Guide and Picons from USB

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to get cool tv guide V5.0.2 to show picons instead of the channel name in the guide?
    Here's some info of what I have/have tried:
    Dynavision Spark HD (rebadged fulan) running HDMU E2 image.
    I have a usb hdd, formatted in ext3, mounted to /media/USB .
    Info banner shows picons stored on usb hdd fine when changing channel. By editing CoolPico.pyo and changing the line that looks for picon storage from /media/usb/picon/s to /media/USB/picon/s , picon's now show up at the top of the guide (where it says cool nice guide,tiny guide etc). However it still shows the channel names and not the picon down the side of the guide.

    It's obviously now reading them from the usb to be showing them at the top, but why does it not show them in the list? What can I add/change in the .pyo file to make them show?
    There set to show in the cool tv setup.
    Any help for this (to some maybe) small problem is appreciated.
    Thanks

      Thanks for the reply and the link. I already have the picons on the usb drive, in a folder called picon at the root of the drive. As I said it's obviously reading them from the usb as they show up as little logo's at the top of the guide, but not down the side of the guide in place of the channel names.
      I've even tried deleting the folder and re-adding it via FTP but still no luck, just the little ones at the top but none down the side.
      There must be something missing/not quite right in CoolPico.pyo that's causing it,as it knows they're there, just doesn't show them
      Thanks

            re

            This is how I got the picons to show, I believe that cooltvguide needs the picon folder to be in usr/share/enigma2.

            works perfect for me using 7020hd dreambox

                Thanks, really an amateur at this, so I stick a USB in the back, and transfer picons from folder on my computer to the USB? Via control centre?

                  to save time just transfer your picons into the appropriate folder on your USB drive when its in your computer then plug in the back of the box

                    Thanks digicon, then do they automatically appear on the channels or is there some sort of sync thing to do?

                      If they are in the folder cool epg looks in they will appear automatically.

                            Yes you can put them onto hdd by either connecting hdd to pc and copying files into the appropriate folder or ftp the picons from pc to appropriate folder. .... appropriate folder being wherever you have epg configured to look for picons on hdd
