Unable to see channel icons after zap2it downloads them

[fireheadman]

OSX, El Capitan (v10.11.6) Plex Media Server (v1.2.2.2857)

Have the following in place: zap2it account active zap2it.pl uses config file to pull/create data (provides user/passwd/cache/icon/outfile) zap2it.pl creates icon dir, cache dir, xmltv.xml file, crontab log (output) channel-guide-app-0.0.4 running (w/daily restart via health check script) HDHRViewer.bundle (v0.8.1) put in ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plugins/

I see the created icon dir w/plenty of channel icons... however when I goto Plex->Channels->HDHR Viewer2->All Channels I do not see the icons (only green/white Plex icons)

For HDHR View2 settings I have: XMLTV Mode: restapi XMLTV File Location: points to xmltv.xml location (this works since I can see episode info) XMLTV API URL: default (since localhost is where it runs) XMLTV Match by channel: number Channel Logo match by channel: number

I have played with toggling the "Channel Logo match by channel" to every option and do not see the icons..... What am I missing here?

Thanks Ben

Please let me know if additional information is required to troubleshoot.

Do you want TV station icon or Program icon?

For program icon, use the -I option on zap2xml.

For TV station icon using -i flag, you have to copy it directly into the Plugin Resource Folder with certain formatting.

thank you for the reply... I actually wasn't aware of the Program Icon option... I will have to check that out.

I did end up finding the location late last night about the location: /Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plugins/HDHRViewerV2.bundle/Contents/Resources/

This is not very well documented. Also might add, I had to search to find the size, which is 240x140px for the logo. (believe that is correct).... I ended up searching/downloading custom PNG logos and using GIMP to resize them.

Looks like -l is not valid for program icons..... per the usage

capital i.

-I = include icons (image URLs) - 1 extra http request per program!

thank you... again. Always nice to have a second set of eyes.
