I understand that when a new icon is added or used something copies it to the image_cache folder. In my case that process is producing corrupted images; each is 44Bytes. It is an empty xml file. This is the same for PNG and jpg.

I even did a find on my machine to see where they were stored (besides ~/.mythtv/channels/) and removed them from the cache directories (/var/cache/mythweb/image_cache/, ~/.mythtv/cache/themecache/Arclight.1920.1080/).  Still, that one channel icon does not work in mythweb, but works fine on the frontend.

I have the same problem currently on my myth tv, and I fixed it by copying the channel icon from the .mythv/channels directory to the myth web/data/tv_icon directory to fix it.

NOTE that there was a icon file with the same name as the png file, but was only 47 bytes and had in it a portion of an html header in it as indicated above

The icon file that I copied over was about 4k bytes and does display correctly.
