About:

If your xmltv file support contains <icon> tags for channels or programmes (like the donation version of mc2xml), this utility will download the images to your NPVR\Media\Channels and NPVR\Media\Shows folders.

Installation:

Unzip XmlTVIconDownloader.exe and XmlTv.dll to the location of your choice (I recommend your EPG or XmlTv folder).

Usage:

XmlTVIconDownloader.exe list_of_xmltv_files NPVR_data_folder [cleanup]

Parameters:

list_of_xmltv_files: Pipe saparated list of xmltv files to process.
NPVR_data_folder: The location of your main data folder (not the Media folder).
cleanup: Optionally removes TV Show images that are not in any of your xmltv files.

Example:

Code:

C:\EPG\XmlTVIconDownloader.exe C:\EPG\analog.xml|C:\EPG\digital.xml C:\Users\Public\NPVR\ cleanup

The above command will download images from "analog.xml" and "digital.xml" and place them in your C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\* folders. It will then remove any TV Show images that were not in the xml files. Existing images are not downloaded again so it will not overwrite your own images.

Todo:

Read the recordings list and add them to the list of images to be skipped during cleanup.
Better error handling.
