[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1236339, member: 74879"] This is the correct behavior. MP2 will primarily search for the channel name/alias and pul the respective logo regardless of the region that it is stored under. The reason is that the same channel exists in many countries, however, the logo is stored only once and possible different names for the same channel are added as aliases under the same channel name. The obvious advantage is that it simplified logo management for me and updating a logo requires only one change rather than having to update the same logo multiple times. It can be that different channels can have the same name in different countries, e.g. "Gold" in GB and AU. In this case your system will (should) pull the logo from AU while somebody in the UK will see the GB logo on his system. If however another user in a third country (say DE) also had a channel "Gold", he most likely would not get a logo (or possible the wrong one) for it because of the name ambiguity, This can be resolved by either adding yet another logo "Gold" to the region DE or assigning a unique name to the channel, e.g. "Gold (DE)", which is then added as an alias to the existing channel. I am currently organizing the repo in such a way that channels are stored in the country where it originates from. For example Cartoon Network is a US-based TV station and therefore stored under US. The (re)organization is not finished but eventually all duplicates should be eliminated and all channels stored under their country of origin. In case any of your channels is not automatically getting a logo, you should search the repo ('Find logo') if it already contains the respective channel name and if yes, propose a new alias for it (under 'Suggest'). If you can't find the respective channel, you can suggest a completely new channel name - note that channel names should not be cryptic or abbreviated but use their complete names, ideally as per Wikipedia.
