Really what you have to do is do the US first... go through, skip any that aren't in the US (local channels mainly). However, if it is an ABC channel, you'll find the generic ABC logo on US. If you want your stations ABC logo, you'll have to do state. I prefer the local logos... so after you run the US, go in and edit the file... Until it's fixed, you must change the country code to the us-xx, where xx is the state abreviation, the page count, and you MUST put a blank entry in the master list that could look something like this: master_list = { 'uk': { }, 'us': { }, 'us-il': { }, 'us-in': { }, } once it's edited, run it again. Hit "s" to skip all the ones that you've already entered for the US until you get to the local ones. Then you should be able to search based on station callsign (i.e. wxxx, kxxx). Very easy to do. Maybe in future versions it'll be able to search US as well as states in a single run, but right now you are limited to one "country" code at a time.

Also, the station can have different logos for different things. WGN has 3 logos, MTV2 and many others have logos for several different purposes/countries. > > > > you'll need to include abbreviations in the search algorithm it looks like. > > I think it should do a match against the callsign field first and if no > matches are found then use the name. the responses are actually based on the name of the icon... if you look at the results, and then go to the website and right click on the icons, that's the name. That's what "E! Entertainment Television" doesn't even show the right choice of the defaults that show up... you litterally have to just hit 'f' and search "e" and it'll be the first one because that's the name of the icon for E! Entertainment Television. Thanks! Matt _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
