EPG Channels Icons Broken

[mjccox]

I got this nicely set up. But now something strange is going on with the channel icons. The image files look fine in the folder. I did have to remove some trailing spaces before the file extension to get some of them to work. Now they are all working in the Desktop app... some are working in the web app... and some are working in Kodi.

kodi logs, npvr logs, and a couple screenshots attached.

Just checked the channel.list and noticed that many of them are missing an <icon> parameter.  Surely that must have something to with it?

<channel>
      <id>7527</id>
      <name>CA| TSN 1 </name>
      <number>11315</number>
      <minor>0</minor>
      <formatted-number>11315</formatted-number>
      <type>0x1</type>
      <details>************************* </details>
    </channel>

Maybe this shouldn't be in the kodi thread after all?

If it doesn't have <icon>, then it can't find a matching filename.

When looking for the filename, it starts with the <name> and strips off any invalid characters, and trims any trailing spaces...so in this case "CA TSN 1.png"

So if the channel name is "CA| TSN 1" ... it will look for an image in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\media\channels\ called "CA TSN 1.png"? --- That's what the image is named.

My zip file didn't attach to the first post?

It is still related to that pipe character, as I posted a couple of times sub needs to look into that. If you don't see <icon>true</icon> then there won't be an icon in Kodi.

Okay... A lot of channels that also have the pipe character still do work. Thought maybe the logs would show something but I'm useless at reading them.
