[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 960266, member: 76888"] Yes I've often thought that some kind of automatic mass collection of channel logos for tv and radio would be preferable. The current situation involves people searching the MP Wiki (under regional customisation) + Forum posts with attached collections + MP Repository .... and then +/- manually copying the files into the thumbs directory. Every logo image in the logo repository would have the following tags [LIST] [*][B]Region[/B] [*][B]Channel name[/B](s) [I]Some channels can have multiple names eg. TV ONE 'vs' TV1 'vs' TV 1. Altenatively you could consider fuzzy logic for tvserver channel name <-> logo's channel tag matching.[/I] [*][B]Style[/B] [/LIST] Users have access to add logo images in the special image repository, if they upload an image and there is an image already in the repository with the same tags then a dialog box asks them if they want to replace the existing image (they would have to be the original uploader), or change the style tag to a different name. Images the repository are browsed via the web browser / uploader in the following Hierarchy; Region -> Style -> [B]What happens when the plugin GUI is run in MP....[/B] The plugin first asks for the persons region, then checks the tvserver's channel list of names then checks the logo repository and offers all the available logos that match both the region and the channel name. There is a drop box at the bottom which lists all the styles, and selecting from this drop box automatically shifts the selection to any logos that have this style tag. Ugly mockup obviously it's missing a few things like - Context menu at the start asking for region - Title to state whether we are picking logos for tv or radio - Title to state what region we are using - Bar at buttom for multiple pages (if channel list is long) - Spelling mistakes :whistle: - Button to click download + install currently selected logos. [ATTACH=full]120797[/ATTACH] In this example the user has selected the rounded square style, however since there is no logo for TV3 : Rounded Square, the TV3 : Star will be used instead. However the user is hovering over TV3 : Plain text, and about to select this logo instead. After selecting all the logos the user wants, the user can select to download all these logos and the plugin will save them into the thumbs folder. [/QUOTE]
