[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 960355, member: 76888"] Internal Team Forum Thread: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/proposal-a-better-way-of-storing-installing-tv-radio-logos.116088/#post-960347[/url] Post: [SIZE=6][B]Satus Quo:[/B][/SIZE] [U]The current method of finding and installing tv & radio logos:[/U] 1. Searching for logo images which are scattered accross - The forum as attachments - Inside the wiki under regional customisation - In the plugins repository 2. Then the user may need to manually copy the thumbs into the appropriate folder Not user friendly at all!! [U]What would be better:[/U] A central specific place where all logo images for tv & radio are stored A GUI + MP Config method where users could just select their region then choose from available logos and have them automatically installed [SIZE=6][B]My Proposal:[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][U]Part One: Website Repository[/U][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]A central place where all logos are stored [*]Sub divided into TV / Radio [*]Further subdivided by regions (or regions -> providor) [*]Website automatically creates a preview thumbnail from a montage of the first 4 images in the pack [*]Logo packs can be updated by author to include additional images [*]Users can manually download a pack from the website, for purposing of editing [/LIST] [SIZE=4][U]Part Two: Logo installer/chooser/downloader[/U][/SIZE] Initially could be a plugin but eventually could become integrated into settings:gui and mp config. Here is my concept mockups of how it would work ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logo-01a-jpg.120827/[/IMG] When first entering you are asked for your region ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logo-01b-jpg.120871/[/IMG] Next you are asked to select a logo pack ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logo-02a-jpg.120959/[/IMG] The plugin has found "four.png" in the thumbs/tv/logos folder, there are no other images there currently. There is no logo for "TV3" because there is no "TV3.png" in the logo pack, the author called it "TV Three.png" The TV3 text is greyed out and the checkbox is unticked because at this stage the TV3 logo will not be changed. I have the TV3 -> New logo box currently highlighted because I am about to select a correct logo from the pack. Perhaps this could be enhanced by using fuzzy logic to search for similar matches between channel name <-> image, just like what is currently done when you setup the xml epg guide. ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logo-03-jpg.120824/[/IMG] I pressed enter on the missing TV3 logo and I am now selecting the correct TV3 Logo from all the images inside the pack. If I select the option for "image from a different region/logo pack" I am presented with the following 3 context menus in a row; 1. Choose region , 2. Choose icon pack 3. Choose from a list of the images inside that icon pack ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logo-02b-jpg.120960/[/IMG] I now have a new logo image matched to TV 3. Just for an example, I have unchecked FOUR. Someone could do this if they already had a current logo image for a particular channel (eg. self made or from a previously selected pack, or if you needed more than one logo pack to fill your channel list, say you had both cable and terrestrial tv channels but wanted to use the current FOUR logo which was duplicated in both packs) ________________________________________________________________________________ [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/logos-04-jpg.120961/[/IMG] After exiting the menu I am asked to confirm changes which will then update the logos inside the thumbs/tv/logos directory [/QUOTE]
