Tvheadend

E.g. channel 'NPO 1 HD' gets this link: file:///home/hts/channelicons/NPO%202%20HD.png

icon file name should have _ (when is SPACE file name should have _)

'NPO 1 HD' gets this link: file:///home/hts/channelicons/NPO_1_HD.png

The icon URL is updated only when it's empty or when user forces the url update ('Reset icon URL' button). There are no other automatic updates. So users may re-edit the URLs later.

The %c will use escaped URL - so you see %20 instead spaces, %C format uses underlines _ instead spaces. You created wrong URL probably using %c format instead %C format.

Yes, that's what I thought after your post, but when I delete the URL and save it so it resets I get %20 for spaces instead of underscores.

@Jaroslav, no I use %C, it still gives %20 for spaces instead of underscores.

Ok, just checked again, and it appears that this issue only happens in the master release I used (4.1-276~g444654c-dirty) the 4.0.5-4 version I run now works fine with underscores.

Are you sure ? Just tried on latest v4.1-296-g8cc9b71 and everything seems ok...

Config: file:///home/icons/%C.png
Channel name: CT 2 HD
Result: file:///home/icons/CT_2_HD.png

I'm not aware about any change in this code recently.

Yep, I'm sure. I've restarted TVH a couple of times and changed everything related. I just installed 292 and it seems to work there as well. I guess this can be closed.

I have exactly the same problem right now with 4.2.3-19~g490b6f2
Any idea why this is and how to fix it?
And yes, I use %C and have saved the settings. After that I reset the icons and saved the channel list, but still spaces become %20

Can confirm the same issue. Path is set with %C, yet tvheadend is looking for paths with encoded spaces (%20) instead of underscores.

Using 4.2.3-19~g490b6f2 too from Ubuntu PPA repository.

Tvheadend is now looking for actual spaces - no need for underscore or %20

Just put the actual space in the name of the file.

Just put the actual space in the name of the file.

But documentation explicitly says that %C replaces spaces with underscores:

%C: The transliterated channel name in ASCII (safe characters, no spaces, etc. - so Das Erste HD will be Das_Erste_HD, but WDR Köln will be WDR_Koln)

It needs updating :).

Ok, nice to know it's not a bug, it's a feature :-)

I created a pull request right now with updated documentation.

Thanks!
