+    Path to the icons directory (Default: <ressourcedir>/plugins/tvguide/epgimages/).
+
+ResourceDirectory is taken from your VDR configuration (make.config or vdr.pc).
+
+During a "make install" the Icons are automatically copied from <PlgSourceDirectory>/icons/
+to the default path. Included Theme files are also copied from <PlgSourceDirectory>/themes/
+to <ConfigDirectory>/themes/
+
+I recommend to use channel logos from https://github.com/3PO/Senderlogos
+To download them just change in the directory you want to place the logos
+and do a:
+
+git clone https://github.com/3PO/Senderlogos.git logos
+
+An update of the logos can then be done with a "git pull" just inside this
+directory.
+
+For S2-6400 Users: Disable High Level OSD, otherwise the plugin will not be
+loaded because lack of true color support
+
+For Xine-Plugin Users: Set "Blend scaled Auto" as OSD display mode to achieve
+an suitable true color OSD.
+
+For Xineliboutput Users: Start vdr-sxfe with the --hud option enabled
