Actually it’s explainable, if bizare
I installed an austrailian grabber as user jam
The grabber installed a cronjob (as user jam) for mythfilldatabase AND it downloads icons
myth uses icons from both ~mythtv/.mythtv/channels AND ~jam/.mythtv/channels. I can’t see rhyme or reason.
Some icons in ~mythtv are NOT used some definitly ARE. Some icons in ~jam ARE used.
eg
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/spree.png
and database says
| 1015 | SpreeTV | spree.png |
but no icon shows
eg
database says
| 1070 | 7 Digital | seven_e69f30e8baff7fcbab28feb8b9.jpg |
but there is no such icon in ~mythtv (but it shows in both mythweb, mythtv-setup and mythfrontend).
Equally changing an icon in ~mythtv keeping the name the same shows the new picture.
So it is really a case of read the source luke
