some channel icons not working

Udo Giacomozzi

I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this myself (reading lots of other posts), but still can't figure out whysome of my channel icons are not working.

I'm using current linuxserver/tvheadend:release-4.2 docker image (Tvheadend 4.2.8-36~g5bdcfd8ac) which has Picons already included at /picons directory.

Picons are configured so:

Strangely I getthree kinds of image URLs in my channels list:

The XMLTV icons and those with file:///picons prefix are displayed fine, however those beginning with /logos do not. I have no clue where that path comes from.

I tried to reset icons numerous times... they always come back the same way.

Please note that the file itself exists, but Tvheadend obviously tries to access it in some wrong way (and it's not in a "snp" subfolder):

$ sudo docker exec -it tvheadend ls -al /picons/zdfinfohd.png -rw-r--r-- 1 abc abc 4447 Jun 23 23:11 /picons/zdfinfohd.png

Also strange: As an alternative, I tried to use http://10.0.1.19:19800/%C.png as icon path. The webserver isnever accessed and the channel list still remains at file:///picons/... after resetting..!?

Could it be that something is screwed up with my config? Perhaps due do Tvheadend upgrades?

As maby you see or maby not, "URL type" is not described with is wrong.

see help menu for meaning and usage of


%c
%C
%U

I am aware of the meaning of %c, %C and %U. The example in the help page also uses %C (file:///tmp/icons/%C.png)...

If you are referring to myadditional http://10.0.1.19:19800/%C.pngtest, please note that this was only to see if the webserver is being used at all. As described, no requestwhatsoever is made to that webserver (not even a 404 URL), so IMHO it should not matter if it was with %C or %U..? I do not intend to use an external Icons server - I did that only for analysis.

I think the main problem is that Tvheadend does not update the "User icon" (see my second screenshot in my original post).

Use "Reset Icon" and it will recreate them.

Udo Giacomozzi

"Reset icon" button recreates "user icon" entries that do not match the config (as described in my original Post).

You can multiedit all wrong url
Sort/select all services with wrong url, click on edit, select check box on line of url and leave it empty then OK.

Udo Giacomozzi

Thanks a lot!

Clearing the URL caused Tvheadend to automatically set the correct/wanted URL.

I'm wondering whats the use of "Reset Icon" now...
