An update of the logos can then be done with a "git pull" just inside this
directory.
In this logo pack all files are named only with lower case letters.
Skindesigner uses the channel name CONVERTED TO LOWER CASE LETTERS to search for an
appropriate channel logo. With this, approximately 90% of the channel logos should work
immediately after placing the channel logos in the correct place. So if you have to change
the name of a channel logo (may be by inserting a space or a hyphen) so that it fits to
the channel name, only use lower case letters, and not the name of the channel with upper
and lower letters as displayed inside VDR.
If no logo is found for the channel name, additionally a search for a logo named as the
ChannelID is performed. Analog to the channel name the ChannelID is also converted to lower
case letters. This allows channel logos for channels with changing names (for instance
Sky Feed Channels).
Additional hint: some channels have slashes in their name (in germany nick/comedy for instance).
In this example, as a dirty hack just create a folder in your channel logo directory named
"nick" and place an image named "comedy.png" inside this folder.
