OceanDad Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have a modified Pioneer DVD IR driver in a project - I used it as the template to create an IR driver for a Dreamlink T2 IP TV box. Driver works fine, but of course it shows up with a DVD icon on OSD/apps. I'd like to modify the icon to something more suitable. I understand that I will first need to convert it from .c4i to .c4z and then unzip etc. However, this is an AV_GEN based driver originally, so I can't use Driver Editor 3.0 on it. I can open it in Driver Editor 2.01, but I'm unsure how to/if it is possible to convert from .c4i to.c4z in DE 2.01. Can anyone help me out here ?

OceanDad Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Understood - but can I convert the .c4i to .c4z with Driver Editor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDad Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 My other thought was to use the Chowmain Android Box IP driver, but this Dreamlink T2 is purely used as a dedicated IPTV box. Have looked for other drivers for the Dreamlink T2, but to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDad Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 I might be getting over my pay grade here Perhaps I can find a .c4z DVD driver to use as a start point to create a driver that I can then change the icon on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alt Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Check out this Video I used Foxe to edit the diver I just did my first one today! NextGenAV and msgreenf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDad Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I have Foxe, and followed along with the video. Any chance that you can cut and paste your xml code for the changes as shown in the video ? Will make it much quicker for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.patel Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'll second foxe. Converted my panasonic netflix/youtube drivers for os3 using foxe to edit the code and it worked great. Tedious scaling each icon image by hand but if you have access to the c4z image scaler tool then that automates it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukas.polivka Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 No need to resize icons by hand. Use imagemagick. Run these commands by hand, or create a bat file (if on Windows) or a shell script (if on a *ix OS such a Linux or macOS). (Assuming imagemagick's executables are in your PATH.) magick convert deviceicon.png -resize 70x70 70x70.png magick convert deviceicon.png -resize 90x90 90x90.png magick convert deviceicon.png -resize 300x300 300x300.png magick convert deviceicon.png -resize 512x512 512x512.png magick convert deviceicon.png -resize 1024x1024 1024x1024.png Example bat file (my first, so not a stellar example, but it gets the job done): @echo off SET filename=%1 FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=." %%A IN ("%filename%") DO (set extension=%%A) FOR %%F IN (70x70,90x90,300x300,512x512,1024x1024) DO (magick convert %filename% -resize %%F %%F.%extension%) Save, and run as imageresizer deviceicon.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 even better on the mac image resizing is built in the command shell. So you can do it without any 3rd party utilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukas.polivka Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 By the way, I think that the satellite or cable proxies might be more suitable than the dvd proxy for your IPTV STB driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Then again, learning to use native tools has its upsides too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
