Channel and Show Icons wrong in Kodi

[muzicman0]

Hi All, I am trying NextPVR again since the integration with Kodi is much better than Channels DVR (although I am still using some of the Channels DVR sources as a source in NextPVR - as well as the guide)

In the NextPVR web interface, all the series icons are correct, but in Kodi, they are completely wrong, I have tried re-downloading guide data in both Kodi and NextPVR, but nothing changes.  

Also, the channel Icons are wrong on both Kodi and NextPVR.

Any ideas, or is this a known issue?  Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Looking at this further, the show icons seem to be showing up as the Channel icons (but they are also wrong)

First could you check the Estuary skin?

Good point. I just tried, and it has the same issue. Also (not that this is 100% not an issue with the skin) when I was using the Channels Kodi plugin, the images were correct.

Be default the show icons will be the channel icon unless you changed some settings. The reason for this is Kodi will spam the server for art as you scroll the guide. Services like Schedules Direct only allow 7000 images a data which on the guide can happen.

What is your guide source?

I am using a local install of ChannelsDVR that allows me to export the guide via URL in XMLTV format. So that shouldn't be an issue. Is there a setting that I can change to allow Kodi to get the show cover art?

Also, is there a way to fix the TV Channel Icons without doing it one by one manually?

And lastly, THANKS for the help!

Let's work at one thing at a time.

Can you send an external link to the ChannelsDVR XMLTV file?

assuming you mean a link that you can download the file, then I will PM it to you within a few minutes. If that is not what you mean, can you clarify?

[muzicman0]

PM sent. If you want to download it directly, there is a 3 dot menu in the upper right corner where you can download it from the link I sent. It isn't huge (~25 MB), but does take a bit of time to render in a browser.

The XMLTV file is different but should work.

Lets' try and fix the channels icons on the web server.

- delete all the files in C:\Users\Public\NPVR--data\media\channels
- go to the web server and Settings->Channels and click the channel icon button.
- go to the web server channels hit ctrl-f5 and see if the icons are correct.

I am using Linux. Do you know the path for that? I will look in the mean time as well.
