Usage example for Tvheadend

1. Critical Setup Requirement

Before beginning, log in to your Tvheadend server and navigate to Configuration > General.

IMPORTANT: You must set the View Level to Advanced or Expert at the top of the interface. If this is not done, the Picon configuration settings will remain hidden.

2. Implementation Methods

In the Picon section of the Configuration tab, you can choose to host the icons locally or load them directly from GitHub.

Method A: Using Local Icons

If you have stored the icons on a local drive or server, use the file:/// protocol. Note: A third slash (three in total) indicates the root directory of your file system.

Channel icon path: file:///your/storage/path/%U.png

Method B: Loading Directly from GitHub

You can point Tvheadend directly to the remote GitHub repository to ensure you always have the latest versions. Copy and paste the appropriate URL into the Channel icon path field:

• Remote Colour Icons: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathewcallaghan/australian-tv-network-logo-icons/master/colour/%U.png
• Remote White Icons: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathewcallaghan/australian-tv-network-logo-icons/master/white/%U.png
• Remote Black Icons: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathewcallaghan/australian-tv-network-logo-icons/master/black/%U.png

3. Naming Convention & The %U Placeholder

For icons to load correctly, the Channel icon name scheme must be set to: All lower-case.

Understanding the %U placeholder: The %U variable at the end of your path tells Tvheadend to automatically search for a filename that matches the Channel Name. Because Linux-based servers are case-sensitive, your filenames must be entirely lowercase to match this scheme.

4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Resetting Icons

If you have changed your icon paths or updated your files but the new logos are not appearing, you must manually reset the cache:

1. Navigate to Channel/EPG > Channels.
2. Set the view to All Per Page.
3. Select all channels (press Ctrl+A).
4. Click the Reset Icon button.
5. Click Save.

Identifying Naming Mismatches

If a specific icon is missing, it is usually due to a naming mismatch between the file and what Tvheadend expects. To verify the exact name required, visit the following URL in your browser: http://tvheadend-ip-address:9981/playlist

The resulting M3U file will list every channel name exactly as it is recognized by the system, allowing you to rename your .png files to match perfectly.
