Hi,
I had today the same Question.
I checked the code in the GIT-Project and found this Commit:
https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/commit/0b3fcdce580187227bc9f305b03f34d521c7300b
channel: added support for getting icons from underlying services Also added an initial implementation of picon support.
So I think there is or it will come a service which loads or create the channel logo.
Edit: Maybe this is what you/we search: http://picons.bitbucket.org/howto.html

Can you help me how i cane use it on my Synology NAS with Debian CHroot 7.4 ?
Give me instrukcjion step by step how run it...
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Datafreak - about 10 years ago
Here a short Howto to generate the Picons:
- Install some packages in the Debian/Ubuntu way.
$ sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin imagemagick pngnq tar bzip2 p7zip p7zip-full
- Download the Repository from http://picons.bitbucket.org/.
$ wget "https://bitbucket.org/picons/logos/get/34aab6ba9cbd.zip"
- Extract the Repository
$ unzip 34aab6ba9cbd.zip
- Building the picons
$ cd picons-logos-34aab6ba9cbd/ $ ./build.sh build
- You find the binaries here:
/tmp/picons-binaries
- Unpack want you want to use (example hd.reflection-black).
$ tar xfvj hd.reflection-black_*.tar.bz2
- Move it to a usefull path:
$ mkdir /home/hts/picons $ mv hd.reflection-black_*/* /home/hts/picons $ chown -R hts:hts /home/hts/picons/
- Update the Picon path in the Configurations
file:///home/hts/picons

Ok i do this but what next ?
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
Where see usage ?
I set in tvheadend path to picons where is the files which you see in previous post. But nothing.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Datafreak - about 10 years ago
Hi Piotr,
it worked in my case (I use the las Version build from GIT HTS Tvheadend 3.9.1901~g43e805d). Maybe your system is different.
Maybe it helps to reload the tvheadend service (/etc/init.d/tvheadend restart) or to clear you Brower cache.
Here my settings:
and here the Icon:

RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
in path file:///home/hts/picons you have all generated file ipk and tar.bz2 and 7z ?
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Datafreak - about 10 years ago
No, please read and follow the usage steps in my HowTo.
As I wrote, I updated my HowTo.
In my example it looks like this:

RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
I do this step by step as you describe but nothing. Restarted TVHEADEND. I have a Debian Chroot 7.4
hts@Synology_DS713:~$ /home/hts/picons# ls -lah | head
-bash: /home/hts/picons#: No such file or directory
hts@Synology_DS713:~$
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Datafreak - about 10 years ago
The message says "No such file or directory". This means something was not found or maybe you have not the right to access it.
Maybe you got an error or so after on of the steps.
As I wrote, you use a different system so maybe the steps on your system are also different.
So you have to find your own work to get it to run.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
Ok
I search ikon in folder /home/hts/picons for channel TVP Polonia. This icon name has: 1_0_1_5A46_E7_270F_FFFF0000_0_0_0.png
In TVHeadend path to picons for this channel has: picon://1_0_16_21_3_2268_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
It is diferent. I changed to: picon://1_0_1_5A46_E7_270F_FFFF0000_0_0_0.png and it works.
But why name was different ?
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Datafreak - about 10 years ago
I can not tell you, why the name is different.
Maybe there was a bug and it is fixed. Please try the last version from Git.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
I use latest git.
maybe i should send an issue...
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak about 10 years ago
That i post to add this function...
https://tvheadend.org/issues/2393
It is propably problem that i use TV Cabel which stream in DVB-T. Yes DVB-T not DVB-C
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Sascha Schmidt about 10 years ago
I used the howto to add the picons. That worked very well. I can see the I icons within the EPG.
But how do I access these I icons from outside? The iconname is provided by icon_url. But which http path has to be accessed?
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Prof Yaffle about 10 years ago
'access... from outside'? How do you mean?
XBMC will - for example - ask tvheadend for the icons. Also, anything else can still point to the underlying icons through a URI or folder/directory path dependent on where you've put them and what protocols you're using.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by gary tan almost 10 years ago
Thanks Data Freak for the great guide. Does anyone know if picons like these have been created for radio stations?
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Luigi Capriotti - almost 10 years ago
DVB-T, same issue (different image name) here:
"Canale 5", picon image is
1_0_1_2_3DE_110_820000_0_0_0.png
but tvh automatically generated one is
picon://1_0_1_FA5_3AC_110_EEEE0000_0_0_0.png
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Piotr Kuchciak almost 10 years ago
I also have this problem. And i dont use picon and i use png file on local disk.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Akos Sz almost 10 years ago
I have similar problem. The generated picon filenames do not match with the filnames in downloaded picon set. In my case the problem is with satellites on west side.
I found this explanation of picon filename:
_What does an example file name pointing to the .png file look like? 1_0_1_957_327B_3277_6400000_0_0_0.png = the Plicon of 1600e_golden_west_network.png
- The file name, what does it mean?
1 = reftype, fixed
0 = flags, fixed
1 = servicetype (1=tv)
957 = SID
327B = transponder id
3277 = network id
6400000 = namespace (orbital position 1600 --> 640 hex)
0 = parent SID
0 = parent transponder id
0 = unused_
In my case the Thor 0,8W picons have generated filename like this: 1_0_1_7601_2BE_600_FFF70000_0_0_0.png
The downloaded is: 1_0_1_7601_2BE_600_E0800000_0_0_0.png
The difference is that TVH assigns FFF7 -> (-9 decimal?) while the picon has E08 -> 3592 (359.2 degree East)
So the problem is with the calculation of orbital position. This is a bug.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Prof Yaffle almost 10 years ago
0xFFF7 is decimal 65527, or suspiciously 8 off 65535 (0xFFFF). Does that thus correspond to 0.8, i.e. it's generating 0.8W versus 359.2E?
Is that what you concluded, that picon orbital position should always be specified as east of Greenwich, yes?
I've been searching the web for some definitive guide to naming ... I've failed to find anything ...
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Akos Sz almost 10 years ago
Hi,
-8 should be FFF8.
Yes, I think the problem is in 0.8W versus 359.2E.
Anyway, my conclusion is empirical. Picons with E08 (359,2E) are working in Enigma. I assume that this is the right way of calculation. On the other hand, according to the reference above, only the first 3 digit of namespace shows the orbital position.
So I think that the calculation should be modified to always use position as east of Greenwich.
RE: Picon path - what is it ? - Added by Akos Sz almost 10 years ago
Is there an open ticket for this issue (wrongly generated picon filename)?
Should I open one?
