ErsatzTV-Filler Filler Types and Setup (Channel-Logo)
What is it?
Channel Logo filler is a great way to get a bit of variety in your channels by showing the channel logo of the associated channel in a filler video.
How does it work?
The Channel Logo filler uses the xmltv grabbed from ErsatzTV to find the channels logo and then inserts the logo into a filler video.
How do I set it up?
-
On the first run, a video for each channel will be created. This video will include the channel logo.
-
If a new channel is added, its video will be created during the next scheduled run or it can be run manually from the web interface or API.
-
You will need to add each
{channelnumber}-logo.mp4
file created automatically to the other videos library and add each one you use to a collection by itself, as long as each channel has its own offline collection with only thatchannellogo
video in it or you will see the wrong logo on the wrong channel. -
This collection would then be scheduled as the desired filler types on the correct channel in order to display the correct logo.
