Description
XMLTV providers delivery in EPG picutures/screenshot from EPG events
Which are visible on WebUI of tvheadend.
my friend working on skin but htsp client in kodi is very limited that why he created addon service to grab more information from TVH over API
Now he want make better EPG preview, channel list etc. and want use EPG images for events ...
something like that
and in other locations in skin
(is prepared little skin for that - now we waiting for some API changes)
Thanks for any help in this case or direction how to get over API pictures from EPG if this is possible already

Updated by I don't understand the question. The HTTP API for EPG contains the 'image' field in the EPG event structure. Same for the HTSP API.

Updated by Ok sorry yes there is image field, (but there is usual url of picture so when we call in GUI and we will fast scroll channel list there will a lot of downloading process)
we wonder becuase tvheadend caching images from epg, picons etc. in own cache - how to use from cache images to call over API ... how hash or epg id is connected with pictures in cache ? how to call them from there ?

- Status changed from New to Invalid
If imagecache is activated (configured), images are served directly using the build-in tvheadend server (the image URL is local - starting with /imagecache), otherwise the external unmodified URLs are given to the client. In short, there's no other way to download images. Just handle standard contents fetching in the client using the URL given in the EPG event info.
I'm closing this now.
