Feature suggest, let us allow to edit src icon colum to epg file.

Merry Christmas :)

Hi so I have tried to work with icon src in epg center and I have not figured out how to use it properly when using epg file via remote places.

So I made a mspaint suggestion.

Then the mapped epg file would look like this for a channel

  <channel id="1">
    <display-name>DR 1</display-name>
    <icon src="https://i.image.com/DR 1.png" />
  </channel>

What do you think?

The easiest thing to do (ie the one that means I don't have to do anything) is to manually download your images to the 'data directory\Images' directory where data directory is where your log is written.

As long as the filetype is png and the filename is the same as the channel name the path to the icon should then be included in the xml file.

Yeah but that means if Im not on the same local network and have rights to access the pictures, they wont show up correct, its not like the png is converted into something like base64 or something right.

I saw this from Pluto TV, and thought this is a brilliant and clever way to get images out via the same method as the epg.

So you take the xml file output by EPGC and transfer it to another machine before it's used?

Yeah I use it on my laptop or tabet on the go/vacation and also in my house, all my rooms has a nvidia shield connected to it using hdhomerun

If you put the string https://i.image.com/ in the Channel logo path on the Output tab you will end up with an icon tag in the xml file for every channel in the format you are looking for.

I don't think It can work like that? all images are using https://imgur.com

So the end channel would then look something like this without any particular name to it

So the icon tag you put in your first post is not the one you want to use?

You actually want something like

<icon src="https://i.image.com/gallery/some number.png"></icon>

When I upload the picture to imgur, it gets a random name/id, like I just did now.

For Channel DR1 and Channel DR2

Would become this.

  <channel id="1">
    <display-name>DR 1</display-name>
    <icon src="https://i.imgur.com/VN03gl1.png " />
  </channel>
  <channel id="2">
    <display-name>DR 2</display-name>
    <icon src="https://i.imgur.com/N5zNIKn.png" />
  </channel>
