2019-07-09 DialogPVRGroupManager.xml

Thumbnail images are now automatically generated out of the logos contained in a PVR channel group (for home screen widgets etc.).


You can now add a button (id="35" / label=13315) to DialogPVRGroupManager.xml
This will regenerate the channel group thumbnails.

You can also add a ListItem.Icon for container id=13 to show the generated thumbnail image.
