Hello
My best wishes to all for a merry Christmas and a better new year.

I am using rapier skin for quite a while now and I am more than satisfied with it. I am the simplest user that exists, I don't write codes etc. I just like the skin because it shows all this information for my tv shows.

I recently discovered that not all the white studio icons are displayed on the bottom right corner. I downloaded the zip file from resource.images.studios.white-master.zip, I unzipped it, found the icons and added a few more like HBO Europe, HBO Nordic, BBC iPlayer, Spectrum, Canale 5, Rai 1, Viaplay which were not included originally. I zipped it again and added the addon from zip file and it worked great! (happy me) But I have in my tv shows folder a few series that the studio/network is not displayed: 1-een studio, 2-AXN Espana studio, 3-Television de Galicia studio, 4- RUV studio and 5- S4/C studio. 
When I added the HBO Europe icon and Viaplay icon and a few others I found online, I named the images exactly as shown on the tvdb, which from there the skin takes the info, but these 5 specific studios are not recognised, and my simple mind thinks it's because these studios have some kind of intonation, ie een is actually één, AXN Espana is AXN España, Television de Galicia is Televisión de Galicia, RUV is RÚV and S4/C has the slash in the filename. 
Is there a way to resolve this? Can these few studio/network icons get displayed? I use the 3D Wrap view on my tv show category.

I hope I explained in such a way that you understand.

I recently discovered that not all the white studio icons are displayed on the bottom right corner

I am also very happy with rapier skin.
A screenshot would be helpful.

I maintain my tv icons using the following steps:
1. right mouse button on TV channel line
2. Select "Manage" in the menu (screenshot 1)
3. Select "Channel Manager" in the next menu (screenshot 2)
4. in the next menu again (screenshot 3) at the bottom right with the left mouse button select any tv icon (screenshot 4)
5. Done

Many greetings from Berlin

My dear Claus/everyone
My best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!
Thank you very much for the time spent to reply.

I don't watch live tv on my Kodi, only movies and tv shows.

I will upload pictures to explain myself better.

This is my tv shows library.
As you can see at the bottom right there is the studio icon I am referring. For this show (13 Reasons Why) the studio is NETFLIX. The NETFLIX icon is included in the addon (resource.images.studios.white-master.zip).

My library takes the info for the tv shows from www.tvdb.com as the information provider.

For this next tv show (Valhalla Murders), the studio icon does not appear.


If I press the i button, the show's information pop up and it looks like this


From what I understand it has to do with the filename of the studio icon image.
This studio was not included in the addon folder so I googled the studio, got the png image, edit it to match pixel size etc and paste it in the folder with all the studio icons (resource.images.studios.white-master)
zipped it again and updated the addon.
I named the image as RUV.png and also as RÚV.png but it still doesn't appear on my library.

Any thoughts?

Hi Nwalma and welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the kind words and support.
And for the very detailed description.

So sorry about the long wait for an answer. Usually I try to answer much much faster
​​​​​​​

The studio icons are not provided by the skin, but by an addon as you found out.
So to get the missing icons, they have to be added to that addon: https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/resource....dios.white

I don't maintain the addon, but I'm willing to do a PR, if you send me the correct studio images.
The dimensions, aspect and transparency has to be correct.

When I added the HBO Europe icon and Viaplay icon and a few others I found online, I named the images exactly as shown on the tvdb, which from there the skin takes the info, but these 5 specific studios are not recognised, and my simple mind thinks it's because these studios have some kind of intonation, ie een is actually één, AXN Espana is AXN España, Television de Galicia is Televisión de Galicia, RUV is RÚV and S4/C has the slash in the filename.

I have no idea what to do with studios containing those letters and symbols.

I have no idea if it will work, but did you try

Code:

rúv.png

or

Code:

ruv.png

as it could be case sensitive.

Hi Gabe,
My best wishes for a healthy and happy new year to you and your loved ones.

I really appreciate your time and effort on this silly issue.

In all honesty, the rapier is the best skin for me!
 
Please be patient with me, as I am a super super newbie with all these.
 

The studio icons are not provided by the skin, but by an addon as you found out.
So to get the missing icons, they have to be added to that addon: https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/resource....dios.white

This is the exact link that I downloaded the images for the studios. As I said, some of the studios for my tv shows were not in the zip, so I added them and I did it as below:
I googled all the missing studios, found images online and photoshopped them so the dimensions and transparency etc, are as the rest. I zipped it again and I updated the addon from zip file.
I must confess I am very proud of myself for doing the above correctly because it worked! I now have 6 more studio icons appearing on my tv shows library [ Nwalma is happy ]
 

I don't maintain the addon, but I'm willing to do a PR, if you send me the correct studio images.

I have no idea what a PR is, but if you can give me instructions on how to, I can send you the studio images, not a problem!

 

I have no idea what to do with studios containing those letters and symbols.

From what I have realised, the skin takes all the information from tvdb.com
When I add a new tv show, it has to be typed exactly as in the tvdb website, otherwise it will not show on the library.
Having that in mind and as well when I added the HBO Europe icon in the addon the first time, the filename was "HBO EUROPE.png" (all caps) and it didn't work.
When I renamed it to "HBO Europe.png" as it is on the tvdb website, it worked great and shown on my library [ Nwalma happy again ]

The studios that can't be shown at this moment are één, AXN España, Televisión de Galicia, RÚV and S4/C
I have tried all kinds of alternatives for all of them, like één and eén and éen and een and EEN and Een. ( https://www.thetvdb.com/companies/een )  
It doesn't make sense to me because there is a studio icon één.png in the folder named exactly as in the tvdb website and the icon is not shown in the library.
I can understand regarding the S4/C studio,  is the "/" as it can't be typed in the filename but the rest of them.... I don't know.
I even downloaded language packs addons in case it worked, language Spanish and French and Swedish that could contain the characters/letters with the intonation but that didn't work either (ha ha)

I am not asking you to do anything, of course not! I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue with me or if anyone else noticed it.

I apologise for this looooong post.
If you want the new studio images, let me know how I can send them to you!!

Again thank you for your time.

Hi Nwalma.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it.

I see you got some help in the other thread.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
It's the best feeling when you finally achieve something.
I get the same feeling when I finally solve a problem in Rapier

I have no idea what a PR is, but if you can give me instructions on how to, I can send you the studio images, not a problem!

Send all your new images to me and I'll create a pull requests to permanently add them to the addon.
Other users will benefit from those new images as well.

Hello Gabe

No need to thank me my friend, if I like something, I say it!

I see you got some help in the other thread.

Yes I did, once you said that you do not maintain or deal with the addon itself, I figured that it wouldn't hurt asking someone who does.
This guy told me how to solve the issue with the S4/C studio, and it made sense that it needs a separate folder! I wouldn't have thought it myself, to be honest, but I understood it (thumbs up!)

Oh yes, an amazing feeling!!!

Well, I have no problem sending you the images and you create this PR thing but I don't know how to send them (ha ha ha - newbie here sorry)
I can't seem to be able to send you a private message.. Can you send me so I reply?

How about if I tried to change the rapier skin to some other one that has the feature to show the studio/network icons in one of their library views and see if these specific images are displayed?
I think I will give it a go... I will come back with feedback on that.
(don't worry! I will for sure go back to rapier!!! - hahahaha)

If you provide me your email address, I can share a zip file where you can add the images.

This website has a white background and the image is transparent, so it seems there is nothing there... but there is.
If this is ok, let me know and I will upload all the images there.

I'm not very comfortable giving my email address out in the open like that, sorry

[Gade]

It's perfect with that website and very understandable with the email address. Same for me

If I may ask, how are you running your kodi? On Windows, Linux, Librelec or Android? Or all?
Is it possible for you to add the above images, especially the 4 problematic ones ( ) and check if the icons appear on your library.
(I use the 3D Wrap view)
Because the guy from the other thread said that he added the één.png and it worked just fine...
Which got me thinking that maybe it's not a skin or an addon issue but a device issue (ha).
I mean, I have the correct filename etc, but my OS (Librelec) doesn't read the accented/special characters correctly, however for kodi under Windows for example works without any errors.
Am I making any sense?

Hi Nwalma.

Thanks a lot for the studio icons.
I changed and recreated some of them.

​​​​​​​PR opened here: https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/resource....te/pull/46

I run Kodi on both Windows, Mac, Android, Android TV and LibreELEC.
This is to test things on so many devices as possible.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with platform.
Once the images from the PR are added to the addon and the textures are compressed, I'm sure everything will work perfectly.

Please report back when the PR is merged and the addon is updated if everything works.

Cheers
Gade

[Nwalma]

Many thanks Gabe!
I will let you know if it works after the addon update!
