Rats Automatic DW Picons Updater

Never worry about updating your Astra 28.2 Picons ever again, with this very simple plugin from Rat of DW you can now simply press a button and you have the latest Picons on your receiver in a blink of an eye.

Prerequisites:
You have a picons folder

If you do not have a picon folder and receive an error you will need to create one for this plugin to work.
FTP into your receiver find your usb or hard drive and create a folder called picons if you do not have a usb pen or a hard drive attached put it at the root of your directory.


Command: mkdir picons



UPDATER PROCESS:
1) The Plugin runs a command to find your picons folder.

2) Depending on if the updater finds the picon folder it does 2 things, proceeds to install, or displays an error stating you do not have picons installed.

3) The Updater will then proceed to download the latest set from Rats blog http://www.satelliteworldz.co.uk.

4) On the fly it unzips your picons from satelliteworldz and places them for you in your picons folder.

5) The Plugin will reload the enigma services so that your picons are available straight away.

5) The updater will then confirm on screen if it was successful or not.

ENJOY

Hi Rat, this doesn't work on vusolo with blackhole 2.0.8.

I had in the past deployed your picons manually.
Channel list was out of date so ran your rat bouquet updater. The picons then no longer displayed for the updated channels.
I have a manual install of your old picons already in folder picons in root of usb (/media/usb/picons) from some months ago.
I installed picon plugin OK and you can run it and it finds the picons dir.
It starts downloading, 2 different zip files I think, latest*.zip and ETA*.zip
Then it prints a message about busybox and usage parameters for unzip command I think (which I think linux only lists usage param tips if the parameters are not used correctly).
Then your succesfull install message.
I have to manually reboot the box next, it does not do it itself or the gui.
After reboot picons not present for the new/moved channels e.g. BTSPORT1HD

Any ideas?
 
Anybody Know why this wont work for me ? I have created a folder called picons on the hdd, but when i run the Rats picon updater. it fails to find the folder. execution finished.
 
Ok thanks for the reply, i will give it a try, It did say create a folder called picons.. Thanks
 
Hi All my 1st post on digitalworldz,

Where would I source Rats picon updater and how would I go about installing plugin onto my box. I have a Vu+Uno On Vix Apollo build 024....

Cheers
 
Make sure you have a folder on the USB/HDD called picon then the plugin will automatically install the picons into that folder once run :)
