Station logos not importing

#1

Post by Weapon X » Thu Mar 23, 2023 2:16 pm

I use to use My Channel Logos to incorporate my custom logos in the guide. Being that the the program is no longer supported, I've been trying to get EPG123 to include my custom station logos. I moved all my station logos to the EPG123/logo folder. All logos appropriately match the station call sign. All files are appropriately sized png files. Every time I build a new guide, EPG123 reverts back to the Silicon Dust logos. What am I doing wrong?

I've seen information stating that I have to have the option "include station logos" selected in the logo folder, but I don't see that option anywhere.

The custom logo will need to have a "_c" suffix in the file name. The link above shows how to do it within the configuration gui by dragging and dropping into the custom picture box.

the "_c" suffix didn't work for me. Still replaces all the logos with Silicon Dust logos.
Also, I can't use the Configuration GUI . I don't have an account with Schedules Direct.

Then it isn't going to happen. Are you using HDHR2MXF? In that case, it doesn't use the logos folder so can't use custom logos.

Possible new feature in future.

Thanks Gary. At least I won't keep wasting time on this. The "Auto-populate logos" button still works in the My Channel Logos program for now.

I think I have a switch for hdhr2mxf to not include logos so it would stop overriding logos from mc2xl. I'll check later.

Yes, you can run hdhr2mxf with the -nologos parameter to not include links to the logos from SiliconDust.
