Hmmm, a thumbnail on the fly for live TV programs... I don't think that's possible. First of all you'd have to tune every channel and second of all there's no way to do that in the Kodi API. Or did you mean channel icons ? That is possible...Also possible is to try to lookup the show and find the thumb...But that would mean that there won't be a 100% guarantee that the thumb is accurate.
I will give that last option a try later today. Willing to give it a testdrive ?
It was just an idea Marcel, had more in mind a really simple query on ListItem.Title when focus kept on a channel. Scanning all channels for getting thumbs sounds too hungry in my opinion even more when you have hundreds of them. Lookup for the show is a good idea but you're right, not reliable (for exemple my epg returns truncated titles). If you want to give it a go, I'll test for sure otherwise don't waste time on this, it's a Skinner's obsession .
