Picons for VDR missing in channels list

  • I´m running Libreelec 8.0.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3. As A PVR I´m using VDR VNSI client 2.6.20.1 where VDR is running on a seperate Ubuntu 16.04 maschine.

    I want to get picons on Libreelec so I have uploaded tv station pictures at /storage/picons/vdr
    The path doesn´t exist before, so I setup this path setting directory access rights 777
    I copied the pictures following this syntax e.g. ard.png into the directory vdr setting access rights to 666.
    Even in client´s addon-settings I checked that "Path to channel icons" is pointing to /storage/picons/vdr/
    I´m using this piccons snp-full.220x132-220x132.dark.on.transparent_2017-05-15--12-02-34.hardlink.tar.xz from PICONS - Downloads .

    However, the list with TV channels is not showing picons ;(

    Any ideas how to solve?

    In advance many thanx for each help!

  • Hi, thank you for your help. I have downloaded and copied the srp* files and now there are some picons, great.
    But not all of them. For example some german -HD channels are without picons like this ones:

    Code

    Bit the next one is the first one in my channels list wher I can see the picons in the list:

    Code
    ARD-alpha;ARD:12265:HC34M2S0:S19.2E:27500:0:0:0:0:28487:1:1093:0


    I wasn´t able to find out, why only some picons are in the list and some channels without the picons.
    Even I don´t understand the system of filenames like e.g. 1_0_1_1_1_9_5A0000_0_0_0.png to research for a solution.

    Do you have any idea?

    The file names are generated from the channel parameters: vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/vnsiclient.c at master · FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver · GitHub

    You can try geting the sources from GitHub - picons/picons-source and generating the picons from your VDR channels.conf. But be warned, I did need some tweaking to get all my DVB-C picons a few months ago.
