Channel Logos

[KeithAbbott]

One of the features that I really appreciate in the 7.1 beta is the automatic channel logos. Unfortunately, these logos are not obtained directly from Zap2it, instead the requests are routed through one of Sage's servers. Here is an example of the URL used to fetch a logo:

When the plug eventually gets pulled on Sage's servers, will there be any way to continue using these logos, or will we have to go back to the old-fashioned manual way of setting up channel logos? Above and beyond the convenience factor in the 7.1 beta, Sage also has access to (and uses) three different size logos for each channel, which I don't think is possible using the old-fashioned manual method. This upped the visual appeal of Sage greatly.

Maybe there is a properties file setting that would allow us to point directly at the Zap2it servers, and bypass Sage's server?

U could dl them and put em in your local sagetv/sagetv/ChannelLogos. Directory.

Which is definately my plan B. I'm hoping to find a plan A, which would still utilize all three logo sizes for each channel (I'm pretty sure that the sagetv/sagetv/ChannelLogos Directory only allows one logo file per channel).

I guess the way that I'm looking at this, a year from now, if the Sage servers go away, WAF is going to take a hit from a few different angles. So I'm looking to figure out ways to minimize that, to try to extend the length of time that Sage exists in my house. I don't think a crippled Sage is going to last long in my household.
