0.9.0 and above

Starting with version 0.9.0, plugin scans for icons based on this sequence:

  1. Program Icon (HDHomeRun/RestAPI/XMLTV)

  2. Channel Icon (HDHomeRun/RestAPI/XMLTV)

  3. Channel-Name.png (Plug-in Resources Folder)

  4. logo-Channel-Name.png (Plug-in Resources Folder)

  5. Channel.Number.png (Plug-in Resources Folder)

  6. logo-Channel.Number.png (Plug-in Resources Folder)

Example: Channel Number = 2.1 Channel Name = WGBH-HD If Program/Channel icon not available via EPG, plug-in looks for these files in this order: WGBH-HD.png, logo-WGBH-HD.png, 2.1.png, logo-2.1.png

Permitted characters are – (dash), _ (underscore) and . (dot). Another other characters removed.

Example: My - Channel Name becomes My-ChannelName.png

Note: RestAPI/Channel-Guide-App and XMLTV

If using zap2xml, make sure you are using the -I (capital i, not L) option.
