OK here it is.... All of the new XM Logos. I did some updating and remove stations that are no longer there. These are only the large logos. The small ones that appear when you hit the "List" button on your D3 would be too time consuming to recreate. Unless someone knows how to convert the larger ones.... Hopefully the ones I sent WwRGSwW will work and he can complete the IMAGETBL.DAT to go with it giving us a completely updated Nav DVD. If not, Im hoping someone can use these and incorporate them into the Nav DVD along with an updated IMAGETBL.DAT file. Thanks to WwRGSwW for testing them out and using a bunch of DL DVDs.

here is my new issue, BGG made all these icons and named them what the chans are named, except some of the old stations like 27 still work... Im almost at the point of just writing my own new imagetbl and screw pioneers

I am going to buy some more DL discs tonight.

 

 

except some of the old stations like 27 still work...

 

if this is the case, is it just the pim that needs to be swapped out with the new one and the appropriate name? The excel doc I posted earlier indicates which old icons still work, it seems that even though the channel number changed, but name stayed the same so it finds the pim. in this scenario, changing the PIM file should give the correct logo. assuming there is a new one.

 

if the channel name changed, then the imagtbl.dat file needs to have a name change. such as xm chill, which is now Sirius XM Chill.

 

I guess what I am getting at is there are a couple of different scenarios here, I am going back to my excel doc to see what I can do.

well see what I dont know is, the old icon for cinemagic is DPS027.PIM, if he overwrote that with the new channel in its spot, I gotta change what Cinemagic's icon is... (DPS076.PIM)

 

make sense?

As far as the icon names go: If the channel's icon did not change but the channel changed numbers then i saved the existing icon. The icon file was simply renamed to the appropriate number. So what im saying is the channel numbers will match the icon file numbers. Hope this helps...

Yea I know that, and thats nice... but what I gotta do, is go see what channels changed # wise...

Posted Nov 17, 2008 · 22:47 UTC#57

I have a list of what changed #s I got it off the xm site.

Posted Nov 18, 2008 · 00:12 UTC#58

just made another coaster. I must be doing something wrong. everytime I make any changes to the .dat file, no icons show up.

Posted Nov 18, 2008 · 00:31 UTC#59

Did you use BGG's icons?

 

 

I am going out to my truck to test his icons right now...

Posted Nov 18, 2008 · 00:38 UTC#60

I tested some of his icons, they work... the comedy one is messed up color wise (150) and I could not get "AREA" working (80)

 

 

Its hit and miss... but that DAT File I posted earlier does work!

 

 

It may not work perfectly with BGG's icons, but it works with factory icons... and my custom ones

Posted Nov 18, 2008 · 00:47 UTC#61

I am going back to troubleshooting 101, make only one change at a time.

 

I did test using his icons, but I made changes to the imgtbl.dat file.

 

I am going to try leaving the imgtbl file alone and just swapping a few icons that I know work and see what shows up. the 70s 80s 40s and 50s,

 

another 25 minutes and I will know. this whole experience is making me want to buy an F series.

 

 

Well, that didnt work, but now at least the satilite default icon shows up, I think there must be something about me editing the file that messes it up so I will avoid touching it.

 

now I am going to keep the same files but change to the dat file Orlando guy posted.

 

that did the trick, now I have many more of the icons, they are the old ones but they work. now I think I can make a list of what is working, and then just swap the pim files, that should get most of them in order, then it will be down to adding entries in the imagtble.dat file.

let me know

Posted Nov 18, 2008 · 05:31 UTC#63

well, I got the images and table burned (thanks to those who have posted the images and table) but when I went out to my truck to test them, I swear over half the stations had reverted back to thier old name!!!!! WTF??!?!!

Posted Nov 19, 2008 · 00:53 UTC#64

Well, on the way to work today, most of the logos showed up using the IMAGETBL.DAT and PIM's that were posted yesterday....I guess XM had a little trouble with the station ID's last night....saw it on a couple other XM Radio forums :D

Ok, after testing my disc, I can't get these stations to display their logos :?:

Ok, here's the IMAGETBL.DAT I have so far....I took the one WwRGSwW posted yesterday and did some more editing and got some more channel logos showing, but still having trouble :)

Here's the XMDPS Folder I have.....it is identical to the one bggull posted yesterday with the addition of 54, 116, 152, 155 and 158, which I added. Although 155 and 158 don't work :lol: 54, 116 and 152 do work :) If we can get all the channel logos to work, I'll be happy to make the XMLPS images for the list view :)

Haha yeah, but I guess I'm a weirdo since no logo's bugs me....evens bugs my wife in her Tahoe, although obviously not as much as me :)

Posted Nov 19, 2008 · 02:53 UTC#70

yea not having them bugs the hell otta me to , like when i had that annoying whinning noise lmao

Posted Nov 19, 2008 · 17:26 UTC#71

Maybe this is why it stops at at "The Blend":

 

Search for hex value 09 19 - you'll see its found twice in your file. I think the system is expecting to see a unique value at the offset the value 19 is located, this is the "internal broadcast id" or something I read on another forum.

 

If you look at the old IMAGETBL for the Blend it starts off as:

 

00 9B 09 19

 

If you look for the same hex values in your new one that is what starts off the xL SIRIUSXMStars channel. So I would advise changing that hex value at 00000C08 to start off as:

 

00 9B 09 9B

 

Just a hunch, I haven't been able to try it out.

Posted Nov 20, 2008 · 18:04 UTC#72

Ok, I had my wife's Tahoe yesterday and I haven't upgraded her D3 to the 2008 maps yet, so her 2007 disc was in and about half the logos that don't work that I listed above, work even with the new channel assignments and names. So what I did was take the lines from the 2007 IMAGETBL.DAT for the channels that work, and copy and pasted them into the newer IMAGETBL.DAT that I attached earlier. However, it was late and I wasn't able to test the disc last night and this morning on the way to work, I got a disc error, so I'll have to re-burn it tonight when I get home from work.

 

Also I think some Sirius/XM employees are reading this thread and messing with us with the channel names...."Mix cm" is now "Mix-22 cm", "Sirius XM Love" is now "Love" and "SIRIUS XM Pops" is now "Pops". Causing those logos not to show up :x I sure wish they would pick a name and leave it!!!! :x

Posted Nov 21, 2008 · 02:27 UTC#73

I ordered Photoshop elements, so if someone ever gets an imagetble file that works, I can work on all the logos if necessary. I have always needed to spend some time with a hex editor,

 

I have been busy this week though, and tonight the steelers are playing so I will be watching that. hopefully on the weekend I should be able to look at it.

Posted Nov 23, 2008 · 16:08 UTC#74

Update,

 

I ripped my working disc that showed the old logos and swapped out only 4-10, 18

26, 12, 16 17

 

they all worked, not in list view though, I guess they are in a different folder.

 

I have 1 DL left, I am going to see if I can swap the rest of the logos and burn it to see what shows up.

 

swapped out 30, 35, 33, 42, 43, 44,45,46,47, 48, 49,51, 52, 53,55,56,57,58,59,60, 62,66,67,68, 72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,84,85,86,89,90,91,93,98,95,96,97,98,99

keep forgetting to copy over 2.

 

update,

poweriso froze while burning my last dl dvd. I have to go out and buy more. :roll:

The list view icons are in the XMLPS folder.

 

Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into this.

Many here are (or will be) gratefull.
