URL path for accessing local files - tvheadend + web server
#1
I've recently set up a RasPi2 as a tvheadend backend and it's (finally) working great. But I would like to access my locally-stored channel icons in tvheadend and I can't figure out how. It wants a URL, but none of the formatting I've tried has worked so far. I've tried:
http://<tvheadend-IP-address>:8080/media/transfer/icons/icon.png
and
picon://<tvheadend-IP-address>:8080/media/transfer/Channel_Logos/ABC.png
and
picon://<tvheadend-IP-address>:8080///media/transfer/Channel_Logos/ABC.png (and several variations of slashes)
and even
http://<tvheadend-IP-address>:8080/vfs/L21lZGlhL3RyYW5zZmVyL0NoYW5uZWxfTG9nb3Mv (which is the path, base64 encoded)

Since the folder is on the same machine, I don't know if I need the port number or not, but it doesn't work without it either. I've enabled the http webserver service in kodi and checked both boxes in the "remote control" menu. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks

The answer didn't involve the webserver at all and was actually really simple. I feel like a dope.
