<b>Picon</b>
<hr>
<dd>Picons are small logos ('personal icons') that are automatically matched based
on the parameters of a channel. This typically saves you from having to set each
icon separately, because they're matched based on polarity, frequency,
orbital position, mux, and similar.
<dd>Picons (from p ersonal icons) are collections of similar icons that can be automatically
matched against your channels based on a number of technical parameters that will uniquely
define a channel. The use of these parameters (e.g. mux, frequency, orbital position)
removes the ambiguity of using names - it's not case sensitive, it doesn't care if there
are spaces or not, and so on.
They were originally introduced on Dream Multimedia's 'Dreambox' PVRs,
but have since spread to more general use. You can generate picons yourself
from pre-existing image files, or you can download packs of icons from various
places on the Internet, especially national satellite forums.</dd>
You can generate picons yourself from existing images, or you can usually find sets
pre-made on the Internet if you search for them. They're a good way to get large numbers
of icons matched quickly, and usually in a similar style (such as square, x * y pixels, with
a consistent highlight/reflection effect).</dd>
<dl>
<dt>Prefer picons over channel name:</dt>
<dd>Defines whether the picons take priority over the channel icons if both are set.</dd>
<dd>If both a picon and a channel-specific (e.g. channelname.jpg) icon are defined, use the picon.</dd>
<dt>Channel icon path</dt>
<dd>Set the path to your channel icon library.<br>
<dd>Path to an icon for this channel. This can be named however you wish, as a local (file://) or remote (http://) image.<br>
Example: file:///tmp/icons/%C.png (where %C is the channel nameon local storage where
is TVHeadend) or http://example.com/example.png to set icon from web page.</dd>
<dt>Picon path</dt>
<dd>Set the path to your picon library.<br>
<dd>Path to a directory (folder) containing your picon collection. This can be named however
you wish, as a local (file://) or remote (http://) location - however, remember that it's pointing
to a directory as the picon names are automatically generated from the service parameters
(frequency, orbital position, etc.).<br>
Example: file:///home/hts/picons</dd>
