Hi Dave, can you consider put on What's on. the Icon of the channel, instead of channel name, and a thumb of the program..

I mean, the use of this:
"channelIcon":"imagecache/15799",
and
"image":"http://url/xxx.jpg"
Thanks

I've never used icons with TVHeadend. Where do they come from, and what size are they?

luis52627 commented

Example:
<img class="x-epg-chicon" src="imagecache/6208">
.x-epg-chicon {
float: right;
margin: 5px;
width: 20%;
max-height: 99px;
}
<img class="x-epg-image" src="http://xxx.jpg">
.x-epg-image {
float: right;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
width: 20%;
}

Do you have some real URLs so I can download images to test?

dave-p commented

OK thanks. I've done some experiments with picons and they seem to work from my local network. However there is a problem with using TVHadmin over the internet where the TVH server is not accessible from the internet; the web server running TVHadmin must proxy the images. I'll try to find a way forward.

dave-p commented

That was easier than expected. There is a new GitHub branch "icons" which will show the channel icons in place of the channel name, and a config screen item to switch it on.

The icon size is manually set to 80 x 48 which works well on my desktop and mobile (Android). Hope it works for you.

Ok try it but no image..
Code is:
http://myphpserver/tvhadmin/icon.php?image=imagecache/6261
and image is on:
http://iptvheadendserver:9981/imagecache/6261

Other thing what is "icon_public_url", we have to set any url?

dave-p commented

"icon_public_url" is what is shown under "Icon URL" under Configuration->Channel/EPG->Channels in the TVH GUI. It should be "imagecache/nnnn".

If you enter your image URL "http://iptvheadendserver:9981/imagecache/6261" into your web browser do you see the image?

Are there any errors in the webserver error log?

luis52627 commented

Yes I see image..
ON Configuration->Channel/EPG->Channels I have:
http://myphpserver/picons/rtp.png
ON General I have:
http://myphpserver/picons/%C.png

Just a idea imagecache is the caching on Tvheadend (copy of the picon)...
On json you have imagecache/6208, but the file is:

http://iptvheadendserver:9981/imagecache/6208

Difference for thumb's icon images, that use the url from web...
Thanks for your time...

dave-p commented

These are my configuration settings:
picons
The "imagecache" files are just text files containing the URL of the icon, eg

{
        "url": "file:///home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/picons/1_0_1_C7A6_817_2_11A0000_0_0_0.png",
        "accessed": 1584178296,
        "updated": 1584178296
}

If you're still not seeing the icons I've just pushed an update which may fix your problem.

It works for me.
Can be usefull to have icons also for Timeline, Channels, Favourite Channels, ..
Thanks

luis52627 commented

Sorry, but last days.... rrrrrrrrrrrrr... I have it and is working ok...
Can you add thumbs on screen=now..

dave-p commented

I've added channel icons to the Recordings screen.
I'm not sure about programme thumbnails. They would use up a lot of screen space, and TVHadmin is barely usable on mobile as it is. But you are welcome to experiment...
