ProjectX doesn't handle it, at least in default mode, and ffmpeg sees it as bottom-frame-first.  Sony movies...

My icon list is now nearly complete !! In not-defined order

* placed icons in .mythtv/channels of backend 'user'
* populated db chaanels tablle to name icons
* run mythfilldatabase
* restarted backend

I'm not much wiser, but I have a recipe

PS frontend EPG
   mythweb listing
   :6544 EPG

Confusing is each destination getting icons happens at different rates
