Feature #1807
Server-side scaling of channel logos
0%
Description
Hi!
I am currently running latest stable tvheadend and using tvhguide as a mobile fronted on android.
Most of the 400 channels do have highres logos from lyngsat, which are cached by tvheadend.
As it is a heavy burden to download those highres pictures and resize them from eg. 1300x300 px to aprox. 64px /64px (while keeping the aspect ratio!)
on a mobile, I would ask for a feature to do those scaling server side. Maybe the server could also cache those already scaled images.
If it would be to hard/would lead to problems doing such a "live" scaling on request, maybe there can be a fixed set of (common) scales the server does rescale everytime it chaches those images.
Thanks in advance

I really consider this outside of the scope of TVH. One possible approach would be to do something using the imagecaching feature (I was doing something like this to mod my icons). So I had a script that ran to mod the cached images. And a cron to re-run periodically if updated. At best we might include a hook to run the cached images through a script.
But I'm not sure we'll ever have server side dynamic re-scaling, I really consider that outside the scope of TVH.
