[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBCiPlayer Listen Live with DVB-T source - how are Program Icons derived??

[florca]

Hi - I've been trying to add some new "station" entries to BBCiPlayer's
menu.opml to stream BBC Radio channels from a DVB-T USB tuner. I've been
using the DVB-T stream for some time as a Favourite, but I'm trying to
get better Programme / Track info (and a Program Icon) which the
BBCiPlayer code gives when compared to basic DVB EIT text embedded as
Shoutcast metadata. I'll admit that it's partly just a challenge to see
whether it can be done, but I can also see some benefits for people with
a decent DVB-T or DVB-S signal but flaky or volume-charged internet. The
DVB 192kbps MP2 stream will sound worse than 320kbps AAC on DASH, but is
certainly good enough for Radio 4.

The audio, and Programme / Track text are working perfectly, but I'm
only seeing the Station, not Programme icon - which is displayed
perfectly for the equivalent DASH streams. I've had a look through
BBCOnAir.pm but my rudimentary Perl isn't up to working out how the
Programme icon / logo is derived - or why it's working for DASH but not
my MP2 stream.

Below are two "Radio 4" lines from my menu.opml, the first being the
normal UK Listen Live entry and the next my hacked version for the DVB-T
source. 

BBCiPlayer version is 1.5.4.5 running on LMS 7.9.1 under Ubuntu Server
14.04.5 if significant.


Code:
--------------------
                   <outline text="BBC Radio 4" type="audio" 
icon="http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_fourfm/600x600.png";
  
URL="iplayer://live?hls=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.m3u8&amp;dash=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/uk/dash_full/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.mpd&amp;icon=http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_fourfm/600x600.png&amp;radiovis=fm/ce1/c204/09320&amp;onair=bbc_radio_fourfm";
 />
  
  <outline text="BBC Radio 4 DVB" type="audio" 
icon="http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_fourfm/600x600.png";
  
URL="iplayer://live?mp3=http://192.168.1.144:9001/BBC_Radio_4.mp2&amp;icon=http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_fourfm/600x600.png&amp;radiovis=fm/ce1/c204/09320&amp;onair=bbc_radio_fourfm";
 />
  
--------------------


Any pointers to what I'm doing wrong - or does the Programme icon needs
something from the DASH stream itself?? 

Brgds

Phil
