Any way to get TV Logos from m3u IPTV playlist?

[shqiperih]

Hello,
First of all great work.
I was wandering if there is a way to update or tweak the importer function to also read the tv-logo from the m3u list given by the provider.
This is usually in the below format :
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="RTV21.al" tvg-name="RTV 21 HD AL" tvg-logo="http://cdn.mypanel.tv/picon/rtv21al_2.png" group-title="Albania",RTV 21 HD AL
http://theactualurl.m3u8

So the info is given at the tvg-logo="url". Maybe we can pull this only once and cache it.

I have tried to write my own code to do this and rename the logonames to match the channel names as they appear in npvr however because the channels have characters like &/ and other control characters i cannot create a filename with the those characters so the logo name and tv name don't match.

If there is code available which i can modify and help ouyt in any way let me know.

thank you!

It normally would download these to the icons to the local cache at C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Channels, but it looks like I disabled it recently for IPTV channels, and forgot to reenable. This updated NShared.dll should fix it. You'll need to delete your channels and reimport your channels to get it to pull them in.

I gave it a try with the new Dll you posted earlier. It seems that indeed it does download the Icons now. However it somehow failed because i only see a few icons. I suspect it has something to do with the following error lines,

Is there a way to catch these errors and just skip the lines it can't handle instead of quitting th ewhole process?

here are the logs:

It does try to do that already. It has to handle a few different types of exceptions in different ways (some of which disable further downloading, and some continue).

It looks like I hadn't catered for garbage in the URL (like "N/A" or "none" instead of a real URL). This patch should handle it.
