[QUOTE="opencode, post: 1132697, member: 152094"] I'm moving from Windows Media Center + Xbox360 extender to a Windows PVR backend + Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 2 for the frontend. I'm trying to decide which PVR backend to use and hoping for as much of a WMC-like EPG experience as possible. For the EPG, it looks like MediaPortal supports quite a bit. Having artwork/images/icons for each program appears to be the biggest gap. (Unless this is supported already and I'm just missing it?) The xmltv format supports icons for each program (icon element under programme element): [URL]http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd[/URL] From a quick look at the code for MediaPortal, it seems like there isn't a place to store this information in the MP database. Is that conclusion correct? [URL]https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/TvEngine3/TVLibrary/TVDatabase/Program.cs[/URL] For the Kodi plugin, it looks like basically every other piece of data Kodi supports is available through the MP plugin, which is great; strIconPath is the one significant gap I see: [URL]https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.mediaportal.tvserver/blob/master/src/pvrclient-mediaportal.cpp#L502[/URL] Any thoughts on how hard it would be to add support for program artwork end-to-end (xmltv grabber, database, Kodi plugin)? Is this something likely to be done anytime soon? If needed, I'd consider contributing the code - if this isn't currently planned work, would a pull request here be welcomed? Thanks, David [/QUOTE]
