Not recognising channel icon links in XMLTV file

[gdogg371]

I have built my own XMLTV file and have http links for both the channel icon and a promo picture for each program. 

The channel xml for example looks like this:

Code:

<channel id="YESTERDAY">
    <display-name lang="en">YESTERDAY</display-name>
    <display-name>155</display-name>
    <icon src="https://d2n0069hmnqmmx.cloudfront.net/epgdata/1.0/newchanlogos/80/35/skychb2305.png" />
    <url></url>
  </channel>

...and the program xml looks like this:

Code:

<programme start="20200608100000 +0100" stop="20200608103000 +0100" channel="ComedyCent+1">
    <title lang="en">The King of Queens</title>
    <desc lang="en">Pilot: Doug (Kevin James) and Carrie were happy. Then Carrie&apos;;s father, Arthur (Jerry Stiller), accidentally burns his own house down, and Arthur and Carrie&apos;;s sister have to move in... (S1, E01)</desc>
<icon src="https://images.metadata.sky.com/pd-image/704af8fd-826a-4b85-8238-00861bbdf350/16-9/640" />
  </programme>

Anyone tell me why none of the links appear to be populating in NPVR?

Thanks

Did you click on the "Download Channel Icons" button on the Guide Settings page?

I didn't say anything about Schedules Direct. The "Download Channel Icons" button on the Guide Settings page will download either channel icons from SD or channel icons from an XML guide.

Also, you haven't supplied any logs so we can't really help you. If you want further assistance, you need to attach full .zip files of logs when the problem is encountered.

If you're using an older version, you may not have a 'download channel icons' button...so make sure you're using the current build.

Hi, Sub - I had a prototype build that didn't have a proper installer etc. I've upgraded now. Looks a good improvement now it's a full build. The download button now works. I have more channel icons, but not all. I'll give it a bit longer to run and if I am still missing lots of icons that are in the XMLTV file, I will post the logs...
