[BUG] Picons are out of date

[jonjomckay]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When I try to find some picons for channels that do have picons in the source repository, I'm unable to find them in the image.

For example, bbcradiocornwall.default.svg exists in the picons source, but bbcradiocornwall.png does not exist in the latest Tvheadend Docker image.

Expected Behavior

Picons that exist in the picons source repository are available in the Tvheadend Docker image.

Steps To Reproduce

Assign file:///picons/bbcradiocornwall.png to a channel, and see that the file doesn't exist.

Environment

- OS: Arch Linux
- How docker service was installed: Docker Compose

CPU architecture

x86-64

Picons are built and pushed weekly by this repo: https://github.com/linuxserver/picons-builder
And then each tvh build imports the latest picon build artifact.

If the picon was recently added to the source repo, it may be a couple of weeks for it to show up in tvh due to the waterfall effect of the builds.

[jonjomckay]

The icon was added to the source repository 8 months ago though.

If I've followed the trail successfully, this CI build for the picons-builder repository doesn't look like it's been run in about the same amount of time.

That jenkins job was deprecated. The repo I linked earlier builds them as a scheduled GitHub workflow

EDIT: There was a Jenkins job that used to build them and that was later deprecated. What you linked to is just a tvh dev branch build job from when I updated tvh to import the artifacts from the GitHub builder artifacts.

[jonjomckay]

Ah OK. The icon still isn't part of the image though. What do we need to do to solve this?

[aptalca]

Look through the repo I linked and see how the picons are generated. Maybe you'll notice an issue.

I'm not familiar with picons at all. The person who created the builder left the team a long time ago. I just moved the generator over from the the old Jenkins job to GitHub workflows. I didn't change the generation process.

I'm having the same issue, new channel icons are not appearing in tvheadend. I've had a look in the picon builder script and noticed there are differences in the script and the picons-readme, but I'm not sure if this is causing it to not update.

These prerequisites are listed in the readme but are missing

• binutils
• librsvg2-bin
• jq

Furthermore

• git clone https://github.com/picons/picons doesn't have .git at the end
• copying background.conf is not mentioned in the readme
• the script calls ./2-build-picons.sh snp-full but the readme mentions calling ./1-build-servicelist.sh and ./2-build-picons.sh

I'll have a go at fixing it... no promises!

I've spent some time this morning looking into this, and unfortunately, the error isn't something we can resolve. I can see that our picon builder job is running as it should be, I can then see the icons in the container are as up-to-date as possible from these builds.

Taking your example of BBC Radio Cornwall, I can't find the icon in our image, nor does it generate when I manually create the picons (both in Docker as we do, and manually) but more so it is not generating the icon when using the default backgrounds.conf file that comes from the picon repository, which is all that we have customised.

You may find some use in raising an issue with them and finding out why these icons do not generate. From what I can tell, the 1-build-servicelist.sh script will generate a list of icons that should be generated, from existing sources you run (e.g. TVHeadend).

As this is a generic builder for all people, we build all icons.

Sorry we cannot be any further help on this.
