Idea: Port LogoManager into common library and use it inside MP2-Server plugin (2 Viewers)

You suggest a new alias on the same page (Suggestions -> Add New) where you suggested the new channel. But only by filling it the way I described.

Thanks... I will look into that but....
I added a 2nd one WBBM-DT
I do not see it on my server or in the Client for TV
Suggestions?
Want access?

You'll have to ask morpheus as he implemented the MP2 plugin. But we got 2am here now - so wait about 6 hours for him to get up

@morpheus_xx :
We need to add the channel type to the webservice method as well. So we know if client is looking for TV or Radio channel's logos.
So I suggest a change to :

Dictionary<string, string> GetLogos(List<string> channelsNames, byte type, string regionCode)

where type=0 is TV and 1 = Radio.
Or I can introduce a small enum, whatever you prefer

 

[morpheus_xx]

An enum would be better. Should we prepare more types already? I think about WebRadio's stations and OnlineVideo sites.

Hm might be a good addition. But I don't think I want to implement the pages for those cases yet ... only makes it more complicated now. So - will keep that in mind, but not add it to the code yet.

I have cleared the DB and uploaded logos and published the latest version of the Webservice/site. (So you have to register a user again if you want to approve a suggestion). Only import I have run was German logos again.

It would be nice if other logo-pack maintainers of possible admins go ahead and import the other packs (don't do it twice, there is no duplicate finding when doing a mapping file import).
@morpheus_xx : The client code is also updated in Git, so you can use that now for the new MP2 test builds.

I added a new overview page for Providers, to see what aliases are mapped to them. Provider are currently only imported from mapping files. No manual way yet. I also implemented an automatic thumbnailing for the uploaded logos, so the website displays a lot faster for the long lists. There's now also a "Find Logo" page where you can enter your channel name and it will return the same result that the webservice would give. So you can check if your channel is found (and what duplicates, once we imported more logos). And some other minor improvements.

@all : please test and post bugs, missing features...

@offbyone
Just read the post. So there are nothing in there for U.S. people?
If I knew what I was going I would help but somehow this seems to escape my mental abilities....

 

[offbyone]

I think I'll call @Edalex or @Vasilich to give us the correct URL of the us logo mapping XML.

The US mapping file is located at http://mediaportal-us-logos.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/LogoMapping.xml. I'm still working on things at the moment though, so it's not ready for import yet.
