Channel icon download

Post by mini5678 »

When attempting to download icons using mythtv-setup, the log shows messages similar to the following for all channels:

Code: Select all

Nov  3 09:46:37 mythtv mythtv-setup.real: mythtv-setup[4200]: I CoreContext importicons.cpp:586 (checkAndDownload) Downloaded icon for bbcone.default.svg isn't a valid image
Hence no channel icons are downloaded. What am I doing wrong?

I did just test this on master and downloading the channel icons including bbcone.default.svg does work OK here.
What is the mythtv version and which OS do you use?

mythtv version 32.0 on Ubuntu Server 22.04.1. I got around the problem by manually downloading icons and updating the channel table.

I think I'm right in saying that svg images require an extra Qt plugin to support them? Wonder if it's not installed by default in Ubuntu?

A quick search says libqt5svg5 could be the missing package.
