| Make sure you do a "Delete all video sources" to clear out your current

| video sources."  Read the post to which I linked.  :)

got it, yes i deleted the old video source and fetched listings from
schedules direct.  populated database, checked from a frontend, and it
worked fine, all channel names are correct, and all station id's are
correct.

now, i went back to backend setup to try the icon downloads, i chose
"download all icons".  it worked for a while and downloaded 60 something
icons and said it couldnt find maybe 5 or 6.  after that it gives me a
screen with  a few stations, and a search bar at the bottom, what is
this screen for? if i choose one of the stations, it says failed to
download icon and goes back to the main icon download screen.  i tried
looking at every channel under options, and where it says "icon" there
is nothing listed after any of them.  did it download the icons into
some directory somewhere and now i have to manually put them in?  if so,
what directory are they in, and where?

thank you.
