Channels not displayed when using the proper picons path #30

Closed jakubklos77 closed 9 years ago

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Hello great work on the plugin.

I have created a simple script to generate picons symlinks (map them with proper channel png files). I traced kodi accessing the picon files (with strace) so I knew it wasn't channel name based but picon based.

However, now I can see Kodi accesses the picon files but they are not displayed (they are transparent). Any ideas what could be wrong?

There is nothing in the kodi logs although I haven't checked with the debug mode yet.

Thank you very much

why? all you need is in the picons package.

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

I was not able to find the correct picon package. Anyway, I have found some picon for Thor 0.8W and it still does not work. Anything, I can do? Thank you

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

Not sure if you look in the right place. The picons site is this: https://picons.xyz/ with updated ready to use binaries for Kodi: https://picons.xyz/downloads/?dir=binaries-srp All you need to do is to extract to a folder and point vnsi config to this folder.

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this site. I downloaded the Kodi package and it still does not work. I set it to the root of the folder (not the tv folder). There is no cache or something that would make Kodi ignore those files?

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

make sure to clear "Folder with channel icons" in general TV settings. what version of Kodi/vnsi/vnsiserver do you use?

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

I did that and still does not work. I have even checked in the channel manager. The icon is blank.

Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Kodi 15.1 VDR 2.2.0 VNSI server 1.3.0 VNSI addon 1.10.10

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

I have not released 1.3.0 of vnsiserver yet. Hence I don't know what exactly is in this version you are using. Where did you get it from? Does it include https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/commit/017c1b0871f780c3fda946e54c12effda9cf39c5

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Must be compiled from the Git then. I am using ppa:yavdr/unstable-vdr as it was the only thing that I got working I can compile any vnsiserver myself though (like I did for the dvbapi and satip plugins) However, this seems like a client issue - although the piconRef is created on the VNSI server and passed to the plugin (I can see that) But I checked and all picon files (in strace) can be found properly

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

I got an idea to check into Kodi's TV db. I can see the path there and identify that the last hex number (before 0-0-0) differs from the actual picon file. That's why it does not work. Could be related to the patch you sent. I will check

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Bingo, after changing my script to enforce the hash in the filename to E060000 it all works fine Could be the fix you made though. Luckily I wrote my script so I am able to fix this. Please, let me know. Thank you very much for your help...

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

for reference: https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/issues/26 I just released 1.3.1 of vnsiserver in order to avoid further confusion

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

btw: E060000 is for 1.0 W. didn't you mention 0.8 W?

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Thank you very much Well, probably yes. 1.0W and 0.8W is quite close so people tend to mix these (including me)

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

can we close this issue?

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Absolutely. I can get it working anytime now. The strange thing is that the picon package simply does not contain my channels. I have tried to find 4 of them and none I could find. It is not the hash is different but even the whole channel id is missing. Not your problem though. You can close the issue. Thank you again

Something unrelated to this issue though. I could not get the plugin working in Kodi unless I set the Priority to 15 (default was -1). Otherwise the server would simply disconnect the attempt. Any ideas? Just checking.

FernetMenta commented 9 years ago

Seems that some other plugin occupies the device if you need a prio of 15. What other vdr plugins do you have loaded?

jakubklos77 commented 9 years ago

Ok, my bad. It was when I started playing with VDR and I had the xineliboutput plugin installed. It is not there now and it works even with priority -1. Glad it makes sense though

Thank you again. Great job.
