[Edalex]

Hi all!
Me and @Vasilich are proudly presenting to you our TV & Radio logos downloader plugin.
Idea
Original idea was by @ibmonkey here and developed futher by @kiwijunglist. Big thanks to them and all who participated in that discussion!
Features

- Downloading TV and Radio logos from online repository​

- Applying custom design to logos (Idea was taken from MPLogoCreator plugin from @Scrounger)​

- Selecting country packages​

- Rebuilding logos cache on plugin exit (code from MyRefresh plugin from @smirnoff)​

Todo

- Argus Multiseat support (still no information whether and how it is possible from Argus side)​

Spoiler: Changelog

! Fix for assembla repository​

! Fix for github designs​

! Fix for ssl links​

1.0.0.1

* some empty tags in XML config won't be recreated on save​

+ added default constructors initializing with default values if necessary. From now on logomanager.config file can be deleted and plugin will recreate it with default settings instead of old behavior (i.e throwing exceptions)!​

- disabled config from MPConfig​

+ added FirstRun detection and handling. will automatically grab logos in 30 seconds after MP start if Allchannels group has less that 200 channels, or all groups except alllchannels have less that 200 channels. Also requires LogoPack supported for current location (e.g. it won't work for Austria because Austria has no own pack).​

+ added hover image​

+ added update timer​

* preliminary support of Argus TV server (singleseat only)​

​

Changes for skin developers:​

• we now support hover image in plugin selector - the PNG should be named Media/hover_LogoManager.png. Credits for current image go to @RicoHTPC
• we now support progress bars during grab - one for logos in current group, and second - for group in all configured for grab groups. First progress has type progress and ID 310, second one - type progress and ID 320. Check logomanager.xml file for Titan skin.
• we now fill text properties #LogoManager.percentChannels and #LogoManager.percentGroups that will be filled with information about current pack and group in text form (like "[COLOR=%s]Group "CurrentlyGrabbingGroupName" (2/7)[/COLOR]") during grab. Currently not in use in skins delivered with MPE.

+ some useful hidden optins in config file for pack maintainers:​

<AutoUpdateConfig>false</AutoUpdateConfig> disables autoupdate of mapping part of config.​

<ConfigUpdateURL>url to valid config file</ConfigUpdateURL> points to config file with actual mapping. Currently our googlecode site will be used.​

Example of file​

FIle structure:​

<Channel>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]  <Item Name="Channel Name Variation 1">[/INDENT]
[INDENT]    <Provider />[/INDENT]
[INDENT]  </Item>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]  <Item Name="Channel Name Variation 2">[/INDENT]

[INDENT]  </Item>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]  <File>RemoteFileName.png</File>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]</Channel>

- submit new Package part to us​

Useful tools
LogoMappingMaker

Tool for creating valid LogoMapping.xml mapping file from directory with png files from existing logo pack.​

Note: Worse way for making mapping. It produces simplified mapping which can hold duplicate mappingg and filenames. Better way for making mapping is using export.xml file from tvserver and find logos for them.​

LogoMappingUpdater
Tool for chechking your mapping file against export.xml to find missing channels. It produces diff.xml file with simplified mapping items.

Nice start Edalex

Have asked danish logo packer "hkjensen" for help supporting this plugin.

I hope the long term idea is to get logos full automatic integrated in Mepo.

In general I guess all users just want this to work "out-of-the-box".

/Morten

 

[Edalex]

Yeah, now when plugin is ready we can concentrate on adding all of this repos https://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:Logos

 

[azzuro]

@Edalex :
better this : https://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label:Logos+Label:mediaportal&projectsearch=Search+projects

 

[azzuro]

I'm sorry, to say that,
but i have message as Missing slin files when try to use it in "Plugins"

[2013-06-01 09:58:33,226] [Error  ] [MPMain  ] [ERROR] - Error initializing window:LogoManager.LogoManagerPlugin La référence d'objet n'est pas définie à une instance d'un objet. LogosManager	à LogoManager.PluginSettings.LoadSetting()
  à LogoManager.LogoManagerPlugin.Init()
  à MediaPortal.GUI.Library.PluginManager.LoadWindowPlugin(String strFile)

So, tested with 1.4

 

[Edalex]

Hard to tell for sure but something went wrong on init.
Check if LogoManager.config exists in MP settings folder and it is valid xml file

 

[azzuro]

Yes, exist and no error on file

 

[Edalex]

@azzuro I think I found the problem
France is not supported now and it tries to find package suitable for you (since it autodetermined your country) and failed.
So I think faster way is to add french pack to settings.
Sorry I can't imagine that someone from not supported country could use it

 

[azzuro]

Sorry I can't imagine that someone from not supported country could use it

it's only Times issues, for French logos .... (i hope)
So, working, but no possible to grab logos ...
in the next version :
- translations files available ?

 

[Edalex]

it's only Times issues, for French logos .... (i hope)

Yeah, already checked out your repo and will make Logomapping file soon
For future versions we planning ability to force redownloading existing logos (in case logo hoster have upgraded source file quality), maybe schedule for autoupdating logos if new were uploaded to selected repo, maybe Argus support. Do 4 words need to translate?
Btw, you should be able to choose another repo i.e. german and download some common channels logos such as Eurosport etc.
