Can you add the following two methods to the api of the webpage?: My answer is...I was working on generic logodb api search function, that I would share... but I will not be working on a standalone addon, mainly because I didn't see a simple way to automate the process... Kodi's pvr json returns are limited... You can get PVR title, and paths for the current thumbnail... but you have no way of triggering a rescan unless the user reboots... which is no good for android boxes that rarely reboot.

RE: TV channel logo database - Hustler1337 - 2015-07-07 Hi, Is there a link or place where I can download channel logos in bulk? I need to save logos for around 700 channels and saving image one-by-one would take me hours and hours. Thanks RE: TV channel logo database - enen92 - 2015-07-07 (2015-07-07, 21:27)Hustler1337 Wrote: Hi, That's the whole point of this thread, however, as everything...stuff takes time. So for now you either download them 1 by 1 and rename them yourself or try to fnd on the web a zip containing multiple logos.

It will allow you to automatically download entire packages, specific channels of a package or country (if the channel has logo on thelogodb), download and map specific channels you have on YOUR pvr and and also process all the channels YOU HAVE at once automatically. So my goal is basically to have an addon that can act both as a downloader only and also as a way of linking your available channels with the logos from thelogodb. As @Lunatixz said unfornately we don't have any way to trigger the icon update from addons unless the pvr is restarted. Hopefully this (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7450) will fix the issue if approved and merged. I also want to have a look at context menu addons so we can hopefully, as of isengard, access the context menu of a given channel and download the logo from the database (and reload the info). Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks RE: TV channel logo database - zag - 2015-07-09 Great stuff, I can't think of any more features it would need other than maybe the option to download black and white logos (when I implement that feature) The database fields should already be there.

Probably I'll add a setting to give priority to dark or white background based logos (for package and channel download) and implement another step if you're trying to download logos for the channels u have (first 2 options). In that case, if there is more than one alternative for the logo I'll present another window like the one above to choose the logo. It would be nice if you have a channel on the db with the 2 options for testing purposes. RE: TV channel logo database - enen92 - 2015-07-14 Any idea of when we should expect the white/black alternatives there? No rush just curiosity. Adding shadows to the logos does not result well since not all of them have (or need) shadows RE: TV channel logo database - zag - 2015-07-14 Having thought about it some more, I'm slightly reluctant to add it. Do you think people will actually want it? I'm tempted to remove those features and just allow a single logo for simplicities sake...

IMO mono "White" logos are a must... every kodi skin has one of two types of common flag's, Color and White... These options meet the needs for both designs. If we are actually talking about "Black and White" and not just "White" logos, I don't see the need either. RE: TV channel logo database - enen92 - 2015-07-14 Humm...I use black skins but tend to upload the original logos to the db that are usually black (and also because the background of the website is white). I use variations of the logos I'm uploading in white versions. I thought I could share them as well and it would work also as a backup, without the need to keep them locally. I agree we should not overcomplicate stuff but in this case this is probably a requirement and not something to bloat the db. It's up to you. If I was building it I would have 2 options (white and black) and would forget about the other entries that are already there to keep stuff simple (fanart and monochrome). cheers Re: RE: TV channel logo database - Lunatixz - 2015-07-14 (2015-07-14, 17:36)enen92 Wrote: Humm...I use black skins but tend to upload the original logos to the db that are usually black (and also because the background of the website is white).

Lite background is harsh on a tv screen. Color, white and black sound like valid color types. Thought u meant black and white... RE: TV channel logo database - zag - 2015-07-14 OK thats fine, just wanted to check |
