Add support for SPI pictures for Ensemble Label

[andimik]

I've realized that Croatian broadcaster OiV also includes their own logos into the SPI directory, whereas all (?) others in Europe only use it for the radio program logos and EPG.

As this is not an issue (but an idea) I wonder where we could integrate it without breaking the layout.

(longer file truncated to 20 MB, but should be enough)

Hint: I'm aware that there is no small logo for HR1 and HR2, see xml file.

I know about that feature in SPI, but I think it is rarely used. Technically it is not a big problem to support it, the real problem is how to visualize it in current application layout as you have mentioned.

[andimik]

Well, you could display it in the mouse over, like you also do for service names.

[KejPi]

I have checked the recordings I have and none contains ensemble logo. It seems to be very rare usecase. Do you know about any other ensemble with the logo in SPI?

[andimik]

Well, I also found another ensemble beside of Croatian's OiV, it's Norwegian NRK (Regions 1 till 7).

This is a zipped raw file (6 seconds, but should be enough using the SPI data from above zip-file)

this is the obove mentioned file from Norway, the size is 1.2 GB (zipped 687 MB) and the length is 283 seconds

(I had to look for an alternative for wetransfer, as the file upload was too slow and started with 0 again and again)

[KejPi]

Great, thanks! I this should be enough for the implementation :-)

[andimik]

I know, but both are quite unique and could be used also in the future:

• very high bitrate in Sweden (more than 144 CUs)
• real EPG with lots of days and services
• the funny thing is, the Swedish raw file is fixed to 12B (never seen it before). All other raw files can be loaded from 5A to 13F. Is this an undocumented feature? It's NOT an xml file, so there is NO header

[KejPi]

Yes, it is a feature - application checks for channel in filename and if it is found (12B in this case) then it uses it for tuning.

[andimik]

Oh God, thank you for the explanation. I didn't realize that the file name is the trigger... 😁

[KejPi]

So, what about this?

[andimik]

I like that!

Remark: By chance, I found out that also the new Irish mux Fáilte supports it, just by checking the digitalbitrate website ;-) .
