Channel Logo

[negid]

I've tried everything I can think of to get the channel logos to work.

1. Change TVGuideChannelHeaderType to 0
2. Used the GUI interface to try and DL and set up icons
3. Tried to manually download and rename icons
4. Yes, I have a \media\channellogos directory.

Any ideas?

And the filenames in the media\ChannelLogos directory exactly match the channel names you have configured? And they are either gif or jpg?

You might like to try Channel Logo Tool, I wrote this to ensure the Channels and Logos are a perfect match to avoid this type of hassle.

Give Version http://www.systemshark.com/CLTSetup3.7_beta2.zip a try and see if this help...

Also Please check out the wiki for CLT is http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...lLogoTool for instructions.

Good luck...

I've tried the CLT and it still doesn't work. I've tried .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif. Everything I can think of.

I figured out a way to get the channel logos to work but it goes against all the instructions I could find in this forum.

The quick explanation is to use jpg type logo files and remove the channel number from the file name.

eg.
PRGU.jpg
CBUT.jpg

When I tried including the channel number in the filename, the only place in GBPVR or PVRx2 that the logo would show up was when updating the recording options for recurring programs.

The Gif images created by the logo installer tool didn't work for either GBPVR or PVRx2. Although, when enough logos were present in the channelLogos directory, PVRx2 would drop the channel number in the guide. This suggests that PVRx2 was correctly switching the display modes (TVListingGuideHeaderType=3)

This workaround is probably specific to the way Schedules Direct works in my area but it's worth trying if the official instructions for channel logos aren't working for you.

It is not a workaround. The channel numbers are not part of the channel names and also not used for the logos. Judging by your channel names, you are probably in the united states, where it is more common to use the channel names. In Europe the numbers are only used as a frequency and never referred to. This is probably where the confusion originated.
