Hi I am also using the atlas xmltv, from reading this post my understanding is that the tv artwork that is listed in the xml is used by xmltvextra. Should the artwork show up in Kodi as well as npvr? (it doesn't show for me)

when I run xmltvextras from cmd line I get:

which looks all good to me, just wondering if I'm missing a step somewhere?

thanks

Hi Ashjg

I stand to be corrected, but....

In my experience the artwork does not show up in the Kodi guide

I think this is because it is the TVListings plug in which uses these xmltvextras images, rather than the standard NPVR guide.

I assume the Kodi plug in looks at the standard guide for information.

This is also the case I imagine for the Emby Live TV Plugin, as the images are not used there either.

Ahhh that would make sense, thanks Moneybear, I noticed when I checked the TVDB etc on one of the setting tabs I do get images that show up in Kodi, although I believe the images in the atlas xmltv are far more superior.... Back to the drawing board!

Back to the drawing board!

It may be quite an easy option for Sub to build into the Kodi add-on - for it to look for the xmltvextras image, I guess it depends on how it all links in with the standard guide
