Title: Channel logos tagged on TV Recordings ?
Post by: Mans on October 13, 2019, 02:35:20 pm

Great day Yaobing,

As I'm creating some more fancy Theater View templates, following the other topics on the forum;
Including one template for TV Shows.
Details like resolution, format and aspect ratio I've covered already.

Wondering if the TV channel logos are tagged or link to the recording aswell ?
I've noticed the [Artist] field is the one to use to get and display the TV Channel used.
But would be nice to use the channel logo instead :-)

If not tagged, any way to reuse or link to link the path of the logos which the EPG is showing me ?
My EPG have all channels logos successfully populated (via EPG grabber) so the data is already in MC.

Thanks sir,

I believe channel logos are set up at channel scan time.  After recording a show, the channel logo is not linked to the recorded show.  Instead the program being recorded may have its own logo.

Thanks Yaobing,

I've found 'a' solution in order to get the TV Channel logo displayed within the recorded TV Shows view/template.

-This by created a new Field, named it [TV Channel Logos] and adding the following expression to it:

Code: [Select]

<img src="\\..............\ListItem([Artist],0).png" size="40x40">pointing the path towards a folder which contains a hard link or a copy of the Cover Art/TV Shows logos.

Then Adding the [TV Channel Logos] inside the Theater View "TV Shows" template and the TV channel logos are showed.
