Is there a way that we can get the logos on the bottom left hand corner also (where it says "WDR Koln")?

May I respectfully request addition of logos for Encore Black and Encore Classic? I often resort to wikipedia for add-in logos but the Encore logos there have a black font and disappear into the guide. The logos provided by MCL for other Encore channels are superior. It would be nice if they just showed up one day.

After switching to EPG123/SD, the music channels now have the correct call sign (MC01, MC02). However, MCL XL will not auto-populate the music channels. Suggestions?

I was starting to make my own logos for every one of the MC channels, but wimped out and just manually updated each channel with this logo for all MC channels:

I let MCL import, resize, and rename this into the custom logos folder (it named them MC01, MC02, etc.). The black background shown above is actually transparent in the PNG file.
I figured since EPG123/SD guide data is showing the name of each channel in the grid, there wasn't any real value in creating custom logos for each one.

I did exactly the same thing. Great minds think alike.

I ran into this problem too. I went to the smaller logos and they were all there but, if I applied one, say the 80's channel, they all would popuplate with the 80's channel. So I ended up going on bing images, doing a serch for "music choice" and found one with a transparent background (exactly like above), re-sized to fit and it works perfect and automaticly populated on all channels.

Funny thing I found, If you use only the XL logos, there is a good chunk of channels that there is no logos for but, if you browse through the standard color logos, they are there and a larger choice of them... They DONT appear to look any different than the XL logos and even on my 65" 4K TV, I dont see a stand out differnce on the standard over the XL (nothing that jumps out at you MIXED in the guide with XL ones)

So, to get them to populate every channel, it's not as easy as Auto-populate... On the old free version (non-XL version), it got every channel.

I'm guessing we're pretty much on our own now, as far as logos go? Haven't seen any new program or logo updates in what feels like years...

Just to let you all know that I am indeed still around, and logo updates are in the works. I've just been terribly busy as of late, and have not gotten in the epg123 bandwagon which makes it harder to find these matching problems you all are having. You should see logos automatically update in your guides in the upcoming days/weeks. If someone goes into mcl and sends me the logs from epg123, I can try to update the music choice logos too.

I would suggest doing the following:

1) Copying the logos that begin with "MC" under C:\ProgramData\MyChannelLogos\Logos\Color to another folder
2) Open MCL & go to the first MC entry that you do not have a channel logo for. Make a note of which MC station this is i.e. Music Choice Rock, Music Choice Country, Music Choice 80's, etc
3) Go to the new folder that has the music choice logos & set the view for large icons
4) Do a search using an abbreviation. For example if the station is Music choice rock, then search for "MCR". It will show the search results & the reason I said to set the view to large icon is so you can see the logo.
5) Rename the file that corresponds to the channel name. So if the station MC01 is Music choice rock, then rename the Music Choice - Rock logo file to "MC01_C" (The Station name plus _C at the end)
6) When you are done, copy the newly renamed files back to C:\ProgramData\MyChannelLogos\Logos\Color. I would also suggest making a backup in another folder, so you don't have to repeat the renaming steps
7) Go to MCL & press "Auto Populate Logos" & it should automatically add in the missing Music Channel logos.

On a side note, you also do the same thing for other logos.

Yes you could also go & click on "Find logo" & do step 4 above, but it won't add the "_c". manually renaming the file will allow you to copy the "manually renamed" files back a later time, if you have to do a reinstall of MCL

Hi, are you interested in general missing logo reports - I notice a lot of my Comcast HD channels have no logo, though there are standard logos - should I email a log?

Yeah, sure-- please send me a PM with those logos through this forum.

I didn't have much luck with MCL inside EPG123.

Did yours look like this?

I saw that at least once, myself. Try going into the "Guide" tab on the MCL config utility, and tweak the "space in logo cell" a little (remember personally tweaking it down a little). Save it, restart the WMC UI, it probably will fix the problem.

No worries. I just let you know in case the process was automated and you were perhaps unaware it wasn't working.
