TVH loads wrong logos

Matej Munih

Hello,

I am facing huge and incomprehensible problem with channel/picons association

Under Channels menu, besides the name and number of every channel, I specify the path to its relative picon

file:///home/hts/picons/Rai1.png
file:///home/hts/picons/Rai2.png
file:///home/hts/picons/Rai3.png
file:///home/hts/picons/Rai4.png

file:///home/hts/picons/RaiMovie.png
file:///home/hts/picons/LA7.png

file:///home/hts/picons/Aljazeera.png
file:///home/hts/picons/Rai3fvg.png

The problem is that tvheadend is showing the wrong picon. This is happening for every channel.

Example:

Channel name: RAI 1 HD
Channel number: 1

Picon: file:///home/hts/picons/Rai1.png

TVH client and Kodi HTSP clients are showing RAI 5 HD icon.

I don't understand how to fix this problem. Why Does TVH not simply take the picture from the indicated path?

You use logos not picons, name of logo is not equal to name of channel.

use help inside TVH to see location to input

%C The transliterated channel name in URL encoded ASCII with safe characters only - WDR Köln :<>*?'" will be WDR%20Koln%20________ %c The transliterated channel name in URL encoded ASCII

for example use

Hi Sean,

I followed your instructions and unfortunately I am facing the same problem.

File name in logos folder: Rai 1 HD.png
Channel number: 1

File path: file:///home/hts/picons/Rai%201%20HD.png

Now tvheadend is showing a Rai YoYo logo... so completely random logo

No need to set logos individually (you dont use picons)
Just set where they are
ex:

file:///qualche/cartella/logos/%c

useReset icon to set all automatically.

picons names are very different as you see

download and put picons path to folder

Hello Sean,

ok, I entered file:///home/hts/picons/%C and I can see the links to correct logos neraby the channel names under Channels menu.

Now the problem is that my client (iPhone with TVH Client - 192.168.3.57) doesn't load logos.

Looking at the tvheadend log, I see the following:

2020-11-11 16:37:05.464 http: 192.168.3.57: HTTP/1.1 GET /imagecache/45 -- 404

2020-11-11 16:37:05.597 http: 192.168.3.57: HTTP/1.1 GET /imagecache/45 -- 404

I tried to change ownership buy have no effect

matej@server:/home/hts$ sudo chown -Rhts:video picons

drwxrwxr-x 2 hts video 4096 nov 11 08:22 picons

Same problem even if I change ownership tohts:hts

%c

small not capitalC

do you clear image cache?

Matej Munih

hi,

I modified with lower case c, deleted every file into /imagecache/meta folder, reset icons in channel menu, restarted tvhclient on ipad and iphone and still the same 404 error.

Saen Acro

What say log when restart service?

Matej Munih

If I digit

sudo systemctl restart tvheadend

nothing strange happens: service simply restart and there is no errors in the logs

Anyway, as soon as I turn on tvhclient or Kodi client, I get the imagecache 404 errors

Dear Sean,

I found the solution : forgot to put.png at the end of file:///qualche/cartella/logos/%c.png

Here is what I did:

1. Rename logo files in order to match the Channel name in Tvheadend. Example: Channel Rai 1 HD > File name Rai 1 HD.png

2. Copy the logos to a folder, preferably in /home/hts/logos/

3 Change the ownership of such folder to hts:video

cd /home/hts/

sudo chown -R hts:video logos

4. Delete any file under /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/imagecache/ (PS. meta folder and config file are not always existing)

sudo su
cd /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/imagecache/
rm -rf meta

rm config

5. Tvheadend > General > Base > Channel Icon Path >Enter:file:///home/hts/logos/%c.png

6. You will see populating the Icon column in Channels menu

7. Restart tvheadend service

sudo systemctl restart tvheadend

8. restart TVHClient or Kodi Client

Result: your client will show correct channel logos

Thank you for your help, Sean

Where I can find “service name” for missing picons, for rename and upload my own image file? I mean name like "1_0_1_428D_2BC0_13E_820000_0_0_0" ?

You need enigma2 style why not use human readable name's?

Picon 1_0_19_379C_14B4_FBFF_820000_0_0_0 Service reference 1:0:19:379C:14B4:FBFF:820000:0:0:0 ---> A:B:C:D:E:F:G:H:I:L A : is a default value and it is always equal to 1 B : this is also a default value, and it is always equal to 0 C : service type: TV = 1, Radio = 2, TV HD = 19 D : service Id E: Trasponder Id F : NId, Network Id G : Namespace H : default value, always = 0 I : default value, always = 0 L : default value, always = 0
