Can't get TV logos easily with MP TV Server - Acteo - 2019-11-14

Hello
I finally managed making work MP TV Server (Thanks @margro) with Kodi including tv guide.
Only missing TV logos. In Kodi general settings / PVR i can manage tv channels and add a logo. But it is individually for each channel. Lot of stuff.
How can i get logos in a easy way ?
Like in 'simple PVR addon' you can choose where getting logos : xmltv, M3U, ... could be great (my M3U includes tv logos link).
Thanks for help, share and ideas

Hi!

My first post after almost 10 years... Tongue. I'm just starting to re-discover Kodi as I've got a brand new Android TV box.

I had the same doubt as you, and I still have to test, but I remember to have seen a setting (may be in PVR section) to give a "icons directory". I'll try to share my MediaPortal windows machine tv thumbs dir, and get them from there.

Sorry I can't be more exact right now, as I'm far from my TV Box. I'll try tonigh, if my childs let me. Smile

bye!

Yesterday night I tried that solution, and it worked like a charm. I must say I come from a running MediaPortal setup, so I already had a directory inside MediaPortal ProgramData with all my tv channel icons correctly named, so it was easy to access that from Kodi.

bye!

Thanks.
I started naming tv png files in a dedicated folder. 
It's quite long to do but It works.
