[mythtv-users] Channel icons don't show up in guide
I just managed to add some channel icons to my mythtv setup by manually inserting them in the channel table. But now the don't show up in the TV guide. The channel editor in mythtvsetup shows that the are configured correctly. What else needs updating to make the icons appear? The icons are in png format, is this supported? Thanks, Jurgen ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The icons are in png format, is this supported? They appear for me everywhere (TV, EPG). Did you use the absolute path name for every icon? I'm using transparent png icons and they work great. I have only one issue with the transparent icons. They just appear OVER the channel short name on the EPG screen so the short channel name is still visible below the icons. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Channel Icons
OK. Here it is. All in .png files. http://www.rave-tech.com.au/mythtv/channels.zip I do have some more images for other cable channels (that I do not actually get) but have not gotten around to organizing them. I'm happy to take new images and include them in the collection. Will take a look at the tv_grab_au script and see what the deal is abut linking images to channels there. Hey Aussies - I just came across some really schmick looking icons on a xbmcmythtv site - take a look at http://frooby.net/xbmcmythtv/images/ I think they're some of the best I've seen for Aussie icons. The only one's that a bit weak is C9. Regards, Phill ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I don't know if this helps you with your quest for icons but checkout guifx.com they have a logo tools program (free) that exports these. I don't know about Aus specific channels though. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

RE: [mythtv-users] Channel Icons
Marty - did you end up with some good icons you'd be willing to share? Regards, Phill Hi Phil, I have indeed put together the icons I need for my basic Foxtel package. They seem to look OK. Will zip them up and put them on my website. Once done I'll post a link to the list. My home net connection is nothing fantastic but I'm guessing it will serve for those who want these graphics. Was thinking about a naming convention so that we can tie them into the tv_grab_au script perhaps. Any thoughts?

Re: [mythtv-users] Channel Icons
I always put the full path of my icons in the 'channel' table. The default location for icons is the ~/.mythtv/channels/ directory. The ~/.mythtv/ directory is also the place where you normally put your customized menu files (mainmenu.xml, etc.) and the default location for stuff like the MythVideo posters. It's all fine and dandy but with three MythTV boxes running in the house (1 combined BE/FE in the living room and two part-time Myth FE in my office and son's room) this fast became a hassle to manage. Since I had shared the /mythtv directory for the home LAN, the logical next step was to move these files to a subdirectory thereof. /mythtv/recordings -- nuv recordings /mythtv/video -- my MythVideo DivX and XVid /mythtv/music -- my MP3/OGG files /mythtv/images -- my digital stills collection AND /mythtv/settings -- most settings shared by my combined BE/FE and the two remote FE /mythtv/settings/menus with symbolic links to ~/.mythtv/ for my customized FE menus /mythtv/settings/posters for my MythVideo posters /mythtv/settings/channels for the channel icons I then moved my old posters directory to /mythtv/settings/posters and changed the URI for the posters in the mySQL database by issuing this command: UPDATE videometadata SET coverfile = REPLACE(coverfile,'/home/mythtv/.mythtv','/mythtv/settings'); and I did the same for the channel icons: move them out of the ~/.mythtv/channels to /mythtv/settings/channels, then change the URI for the icons in mySQL: UPDATE channel SET icon = REPLACE(icon,'/home/mythtv/.mythtv','/mythtv/settings'); Just another point: I've seen on this thread a lot of talk about the lyngsat logos in jpeg format. For line art drawings, I usually prefer png while resizing them to a square with the gimp or Photoshop. It looks better with the OSD I use (VisorOSD).

But it might be better if you re-did the icons in Gimp or something without transparency.

Send whatever you have. Who knows, they may be better than what I've got so far. Here you go. Zipped tar file available at http://www.oaklands.aust.com/mythtv/tvicons.tgz with a selection of free to air icons for Australia. The ABC2 icon is probably the least good - it looks good on its own but there's not enough colour/contrast for it to show up very well on TV. Good luck!

I will of course post the results to the list but I'd like to know what the optimal size would be (I'm going to grab them from their respective websites and reformat as necessary). I'm assuming that .png is the format of choice. Is there anything else I should bear in mind when collecting these images?
