New Sky Channels, a "/" and icon filenames

[pschweig]

The new Sky movie channel names include

Sky Movies Action/Thriller
Sky Movies Sci-Fi/Horror

I have icons for these channels but I can't give them the same name as the channels because xp doesn't allow "/"

Anybody got a workaround? Is this one for Birty?

cheers

I've not tried this - but here's a thought :

Use Stephane's XMLTV importer as you can set the display name for the channel. This dictates what you see in Sage and hence the channel logo file picked up

let us know if it works

SageTV doesn't handle those channel names currently, but in the future if it can't find the filename based on the exact channel name, it will try removing the non-alphanumeric chars & looking for an image based on that cleaned up filename. So, using the channel names listed above, it would end up looking for:

SkyMoviesActionThriller.jpg
SkyMoviesSciFiHorror.jpg

(or other supported image file extensions)

Again: this will be in some future version, not the current release.
