Mythtv Channel Icons

Post by unsober »

I have a need to manually place the channel icons into the folder. I have this all working, but to be able to see them via mythweb/mythtv/kodi - I need to restart the mythbackend service. Once I do that, all the channel icons are available via the clients. Is there any way to refresh the cache (i'm assuming) - without restarting the mythbackend service?

Thanks!

Hi,

Try: mythutil --clearcache (add: -v none if you don't want
to watch the log messages roll by.) It's worth a try, but I'm not
sure it will help.

If it doesn't work, be sure to mention your MythTV version when
replying so others may be able to more suggestions.

3rd party apps should be using the Services API for getting icons.
This should work: http://<yourBE>:6544/Guide/GetChannelIcon?ChanId=<someChannelID>
