In the older demo video of linuxmce, they show the guy setting a thumbnail for all the simpson tv shows. So, when browsing channels with the gyroscopic remote, any time the simpsons are on, there is a tiny picture in that empty sqaure next to each show. How can I do this? Thanks
:)
I recently discovered how to do this. It is mostly a 2 step process:
1. Find the image you want for the show, via Amazon.com or IMDB.com and save it to a local directory on the core. So you will need to do this from the web browser in the computing link on you core.
2. From the same browser open a tab or just use the existing window, fire up mythweb http://dcerouter/mythweb.
- click the top link for recording schedules
- click the desired TV show recording
- scroll to the bottom, and there you will see a box to add an image
- add the image you downloaded from the above step. I download mine into a directory under /home/public/data/pictures/show-icons
That's it, now the next time you go to record a show, you icon will be placed in the video menu .vs the Channel Icon.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Seth
Wow thanks! That the first time I've ever asked a question and had the answer given in 1 post without needing outside information! Thanks! We need more posters like you
Ummm - I tried this from a remote machine initially. The first image I added ABC::Lateline got associated to SBS::World News. I changed SBS::World News and it changed the ABC::Lateline image??? I also tried changing the SBS channel icon.
Now when using the TV Guide - EVERY show, not just the ones I tried to change (and the SBS channel) now has a Deep Purple icon from my music collection?!
I tried updating these via mythweb on the actual core again (using a local browse to directory) but no joy...
Anyone else noticed this bug? Have I missed something obvious?
have you manually been futzing with the File, Attributes, or File_Attributes table? especially deleting rows?
if so,
live with it.
you've messed up the relations to the database.
When we can come up with a fix for it, we will.

Hey Thom,
Actually now that you mention it, some time ago I did do the following (which fixed my problem) to remove some duplicate UPNP files.. . See: http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2656.0 (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2656.0))

.....snip.....
SELECT Path from File WHERE Path LIKE '%upnp%';
did any match?
if so,
DELETE from File WHERE Path LIKE '%upnp%';
and that should get rid of them....

Seems all threads lead back to your helpful advice ;D
Do you think this may have caused a problem? To be honest - I don't really need/want the feature - just did it because I could.
Thanks,
Adriel.
