Bug report

Describe the bug

Here is a clear and concise description of what the problem is:

PVR channels images are broken in WebUI or any Remote apps when the current program also have an image associated

I have retested all versions, and this bug was introduced between v19.1 and v19.2 (19.1 is the last version without this bug)

Expected Behavior

Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:

Channels images should always work if available.

Actual Behavior

Channels Images doesn't show up if current program in the guide also have and image associated
This problem only happens in WebUI or Remote apps. in Kodi UI it works as expected.
In the debug log, you can see lots of http 404, in the path returned by json api.

Possible Fix

Check and fix image path returned by json api

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Found an easier way to anyone reproduce, just install "Pluto.tv PVR Client", all channels won't have logos in webui, or remote apps, but will have logos in kodi.

Harder way:

1. Have one channel with full guide information, including images for programs.
2. Have another channel with full guide information without images for programs.
3. Open WebUi and you'll see the first one without any icons, and the second one with icons.

I just tried with Kodi 20.2 (Linux) using IPTV. This works with the iOS Remote App and WebUI. Can you share more details on the version / PVR add-ons you are using?

This still happening in all versions, are you sure you tested pvr channels with program images (not confuse with channel logos)

The tv addon i use is Tvheadend HTSP Client, on kodi android 20.2.

I'm ataching an yatse log that i think it can help, you'll see a lot of 404 errors returned by kodi api

And there you got me. I was looking for channel logos, and was not even aware of program images.
