Picons don't load

[gurabli]

I'm having some hard time to make picons work. I mapped /picons to host, and added the picons there. TVH finds the picons, but they are not displayed in EPG view or Kodi.
Any idea where to start investigating?
Thanks

It seems I have the same issue. Picons are added in the "Channel / EPG" Tab and the Imagecache number is also increasing if you reset the image cache, however when opening the Imagecache URL direktly, I always getting a 404 file not found error. Maybe some file permission error?

you don't have to map /picons to host as they are included within the image.

I found a solution for myself with the following settings. After that you might need to reset the icons in the "Channel / EPG" Tab.

Created a pull for this issue. #110

The Readme file (which can be seen on https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/tvheadend) should be updated according to the screenshot.
And if wonder if it's possible to remove spaces by default from the icon names (because the default picons don't contain them)

Why is it needed to add something to the Readme? The picon settings is set up automatically at first boot.

We use the picons from picons.xyz and the names comes from them.

1. there is already information, but it is wrong. just setting the path to "/picons" results in 404 errors
2. my tvheadend config is older than this feature, that's why I have to do some things manually from time to time

about the names:
if I empty the user icon field of a channel or click "reset icon", it automatically gets a new value, for example "file:///picons/das%20erste%20hd.png". But such a file doesn't exist. instead, it should be "file:///picons/daserstehd.png"

1. There is no information to set it only to /picons. There is information about where to adjust the settings.
2. We provide basic information for how to get this container to run, not how to set everything up. Refer to the tvheadend documentation for this.

Regarding the names, this is tvheadends domain and not something we have control over. We just package tvheadend into a container.

1. it's a usability topic. saying "set the Channel icon path in Configuration --> General --> Base to "file:///picons/%C.png" " doesn't feel painful.

regarding the names: so what's the usual procedure? removing %20 from all channel icon paths manually? where does the /picons.tar.bz2 come from?

update: after starting a new tvheadend instance and copying the full block of config values from there it seems to work now, the default names don't have spaces anymore

Feel free to make a PR for the readme.

Picons are from picons.xyz as mentioned in the Readme.

Migrating from a bare metal instance is a use case.

@daald Could you please post the correct values? I didn't manage to get rid of the spaces for the lookup. Thanks in advance!

Got it with your screenshot!

For other readers: You can reset an existing icon url in the Configuration -> Channel / EPG tab (the last button in the toolbar: Reset icon)
