Addon Icon isn't show up - burekas - 2021-08-28

Hi,

I converted an addon in python2 to 3, but the icon that shows up is the default kodi addon icon.
Why is that?
Is there any limitation about the image size or something like this?

The location and the name is the same as others.

Thanks.

Found the issue, I didn't know that I should add it to the assets of "xbmc.addon.metadata" in the addon.xaml, like this:

Code:
  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

   .

   .

   .

    <assets>

        <icon>icon.png</icon>

    </assets>

  </extension>

You can also add fanart for your own background:

<assets>
<icon>icon.png</icon>
<fanart>fanart.jpg</fanart>
</assets>
