[QUOTE="Vasilich, post: 1128818, member: 97516"] wow. So much hard-to-read-not-very-english text :confused: you could read this thread where I have explained how plugin works. In short: 1. it checks periodically (default setting - once per week) for logo updates, and download/generate them. Check is based on file date comparison of local files (if already downloaded from server) with last modification date of server files. If file on the server is newer than local one - it will be downloaded. 2. all files according to plugin settings (group + pack) will be regenerated. In settings you can select: * [B]design [/B]- it will be common for all logos on this client; *[B] logo pack[/B] for particular country that will be used for[B] selected channel group[/B]. The plugin process only images it has downloaded or images that it has found locally in appropriate folder with appropriate name. No, it doesn't. It tries to keep existing files to reduce traffic and download time It depends on LogoPack maintainer. Usually we try to keep logo as large as possible, so most logos have 5 pixel border to each side for standard designs (all standard designs have size 200x200 pixels, so mostly max dimension of every logo is 190px). Too rare case for having it as a setting for everyone. You can change it in your design folder locally - it won't be overwritten on logo update. This would be not a channel logo. As i don't watch series much, i haven't even thought how to do it. Probably, look for some special skins + Fanart plugin. About your question on channel names: Plugin searches channel name in the mapping file. If not found - then it searches every tuning detail name (note that there can be several tuning details for one channels). If not found - then it writes error to mediaportal log. Name comparison is case-insensitive, all spaces at the beginning and at the end are ignored. There is possibility to ignore some defined strings for particular logo pack (e.g in german logo pack the stings (KD) and (S) are ignored, as different providers can add these strings to standard channel names). So if your channel is called "starz! east", but in logo pack you have"starz east", then you need to contact pack maintainer to insert that alias for the channel. My setup: 2 LNBs - for Astra 19.2E and HotBird 13.0E. Both satellites give me 2.5k channels. Surely i don't need most of them, so i don't use "All channels group". Moreover, for my family being bilinguals we have channels on threee languages: russian, german and english (for me only). You can expect that i select german pack for group with mostly german channels, and russian pack - for groups with russian channels, right? Because it is much too much work to do logo packs that contain logos for over 1k channels withoug having good source for those. And local cable providers change channel names too often to maintain these changes for every country (remember, Europe is much more fragmented than US :) ) yes, it was made specifically for that cases. No, logomanager doesn't deal with radio stream content. It asks DB what channels are there and searches Logo in configured logo pack. Plugin doesn't care of DPI, it deals with image resolution only. When MP can utilize UHD resolution (right now there is not a single skin that can use that resolution) - then we can add designs larger that 200x200, and regenerate our logos (if bigger logo resolution is available - in repos there are mostly Source folder available, that contains logos in maximum available resolution). I hope i have cleared all things concerning LogoManager plugin for you [/QUOTE]
