Channel logos

[Armsp0]

No channel logos visible in the guide on my NextPVR install. I have a zip file with them all but where would I put them? Ubuntu 20.04

[Armsp0]

Found this /var/opt/nextpvr/media/channels
I’m guessing as long as the logo names and channel names are the same NextPvr will use them when restarted?

Correct.

Logo files now in channels directory using sftp but not after some permissions hell, I have learned a lot through this! Thanks for the assistance Martin.
I can see the logos in the live TV selection page but not in the guide but that's progress. Also see a bunch of what i presume to be the vexed orphan .ts files in the recordings directory. I will school myself on scripts and see if i can get the postEPGupdate thing happening.

The livetv orphans seem to be a linux thing.  I'm recording to a NFS share which also might be some if the issue to but the simple solution is to add a line in your PostUpdateEPG.sh to delete them.  If you haven't found them yet scrips go into  "/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/" in linux.  

Here's my code if it helps which deletes all .ts files older than 300 min in the livetv directory when PostUpdateEPG.sh runs each day.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# delete all .ts files in the livetv directory that are older than 300 minutes
# when the PostUpdateEPG.sh runs each day to eliminate orphan files.

find /home/npvr/livetv/*.ts -type f -mmin +300 -exec rm {} \;

The levels of support in this forum are exceptional, thank you

Ok I have created the shell script PostUpdateEPG.sh in the scripts folder and run it manually to check it works and it does, will NextPVR run these scripts so long as they exist or is it necessary to place a call in the script to run the thing after the update, if so what would that look like?

[snagglewest]

Yes, it will run automatically after the EPG is updated as long as it's in the scripts folder.
