[QUOTE="Vasilich, post: 1155350, member: 97516"] [B]Next step:[/B] converting all packs in one global pack. [B]Now: [/B]we have several packs, for each Item node in pack we have only Name attribute, that describes the channel alias. Every link to logo file can contain several aliases (e.g. channels "RTL 2", "RTL II", "RTL zwei" all pointing to same channel with same logo.
