Instructions

1. Download tv_logos folder into ' www/ ' directory, add here yours tv logos with .png extension

2. Add the webos player custom template wosp-template.yaml to button_card_templates:

3. Put a package wosp_package.yaml into the packages folder, and rename it for one specific tv device.
   E.g.: wosp_package_my_tv.yaml or wosp_package_bedroom_tv.yaml.

   Into the renamed package:

   • replace all occurences of WOSP_ENTITY with the webos media_player object_id.
     E.g.: media_player.my_tv --> replace WOSP_ENTITY with my_tv
   • edit your favorite channels after 'favorites' field
     E.g.:

       options: >
         {{ [
           'favorites'
         , 'channel 1'
         , 'channel 2'
         , 'channel 3' ] }}
     

   • check tv channel source name
     in some webos versions the name of tv channels source is different from 'Live TV', because depends on the system language.
     In this case need modify the name on the package, replacing "Live TV" with correct name of tv channels source
     E.g: for italian language the correct source name is "Canali TV". So
     From

     variables:
       source: "Live TV"
     

     to

     variables:
       source: "Canali TV"
     

   * Repeat step 3 for every tv device
