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. +
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.
+ 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).
Prefer picons over channel name:
-
Defines whether the picons take priority over the channel icons if both are set.
+
If both a picon and a channel-specific (e.g. channelname.jpg) icon are defined, use the picon.
Channel icon path
-
Set the path to your channel icon library.
+
Path to an icon for this channel. This can be named however you wish, as a local (file://) or remote (http://) image.
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.
Picon path
-
Set the path to your picon library.
+
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.).
Example: file:///home/hts/picons
