Channel Icon Idea

[wileecoyote]

I was playing with the channel icon locations and found out how to find the userdata folder for Windows. I expanded your code to write to the addon_data\pvr.nextpvr folder as such...

Code:

#ifdef TARGET_WINDOWS
    // find directory for storing channel icons
    m_channelIconDirectory = getenv("APPDATA");
    m_channelIconDirectory += PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR;
    m_channelIconDirectory += "XBMC";
    m_channelIconDirectory += PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR;
    m_channelIconDirectory += "userdata";
    m_channelIconDirectory += PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR;
    m_channelIconDirectory += "addon_data";
    m_channelIconDirectory += PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR;
    m_channelIconDirectory += "pvr.nextpvr";
    m_channelIconDirectory += PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR;

#elif defined (TARGET_LINUX) || defined(TARGET_DARWIN)


#elif defined(TARGET_OSX)

#endif

You might expand it to create/write to a channel_icon folder in the pvr.nextpvr folder.

I didn't know where the folders are in Linux or OSX so I left those blank for now.


Edit: I forgot to mention that this code works on Windows 8 as well.

Yep, that'd work on Windows. I wish I could find an XBMC way to locate this directory, so it'd work on all the platforms.

I agree, I looked all morning and couldn't find anything for c++ to locate it
