TNAP-5.1 Image Discussion

Is there special setup steps I may have missed? I've been trying to get picons to display for quite a while now with none displaying :)

I made a "picons" folder in root of the box.
I use DreamboxEdit to enter a .png format pic in the box.
Make sure you enable the display picons in the box: for ch list, for ch switch, for ch display.
 
Because I'm a nice guy. Here's a mess of picons. Mostly c-band. Using naming from the tvrosat lists. It's a work in progress surely. I keep it in my user\Pictures directory on my pc and set the channel editor to point to it. Sort it by date and you'll see the ones added by me. Edit your channel names to reflect the picon names or just rename them to your hearts desire.

Hello ,
For satellites seen from Europe, there are many programs that install picons (in the folder you specify).
In my case, the picons are installed on a USB key so as not to take up too much space in the internal memory.
I don't know if this exists for satellites seen from the USA.
here are a few screenshots.

I would think a European site would be better suited for picons question. In the US we have very few channels with integrated EPG.
If there is an easy way to grab them based on service ID, pretty clueless. I do it the 'hard way'.
But still, the relation between images in the main folder and the channel is name based.
There may be 10 MTV channels on a satellite. East, West, SD, HD, DAI.....all differently named. A single picon named accordingly would only handle one channel.
Copies of them need to be made and named the same as the actual channel. We may scan in channels such as SN1, SN2,SN3, etc.
The actual channel could be anything. If they clear. And you can see the 'screenbug' watermark to ID the channel.
I don't really know of an automated way to do it. 'We' dont even usually have an EPG for any channel. Blanks.

With Media Portal there is an application that pulls metadata from different sources and then gives you an EPG. A few guys even have played around doing the same on an E2 receiver.
So until then its name the channel in an editor. Find a ,png picon. Name it exactly as I did the channel. Do a batch of them. Write to the receiver.
Then hopefully have at least the correct picon displayed.
 
Is TNAP 5.1 now a release candidate, or still considered beta?

TNAP 5.1 is stable. Been using it for a while but last I flashed the 20240729 version online it has a problem when using the Hauppauge tuner. But Flashing the 20240529 version and updating online to 20240729 version the Hauppauge TV tuner worked fine. I don[t think you can get the 20240529 version from the flash image menu any more and I didn't save a copy for the non plus Mio4k. Maybe EB will revert the download file if he has a copy still.
 
Thx. Got it. Typo's and all I guess.
BTW. Firefox is not palying nice. Your page opens and then when I tried to reply it went all white.
Using Chrome right now. Yeah, cleared cookies and all that stuff...

Nope. Sorry. Was from the gui. And yup. Got it from terminal.
New forum posts on the right of the screen still effed up in firefox.
Today's posts tab never works.
 
Correct. No images at this time. It will be weeks before much of anything is ready. Everything having to do with Developing and Building TNAP has to either be reinstalled or rebuilt from scratch. A hard disk error in early November right after the backup disk had been formatted is the problem. One month later, things are just starting to be restored... Disk size = 2TB

You are working hard, and the hardware is not helping sometimes! I know the feeling.
But for now good luck and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
