Not getting icons or images for Live TV & DVR

For a while now I’ve been having issues getting the pictures to show up on my TV Guide and the What’s On list for Live TV and it looks like I’m not the only one according to this. Everything else seems to be fine.

I’m running xTeVe for my DVR and everything seems to be fine on that end so I took a closer look at what the guide in Plex is doing by opening it up using the web interface. What I found is a bit weird. After looking through the network traffic I found that Plex is attempting to load the images using this general format:

http://127.0.0.1:32400/photo/:/transcode?width=120&height=90&minSize=1&upscale=1&url=http%3A%2F%2F172.19.xxx.xxx%3A34400%2Fimages%2F43f61bdd0378370502b515c0c8967c79.png&X-Plex-Token=sometoken

xTeVe runs on localhost or 127.0.0.1 yet the url parameter is attempting to load from a different non-existent source (172.19.xxx.xxx). The above should look like:

http://127.0.0.1:32400/photo/:/transcode?width=120&height=90&minSize=1&upscale=1&url=http%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A34400%2Fimages%2F43f61bdd0378370502b515c0c8967c79.png&X-Plex-Token=sometoken

which actually loads the station image defined in xTeVe. I’ve looked through everything in my setup and have no idea where this IP is coming from. Maybe this is a bug?

So it looks like this IP is coming from the WiFi interface which is connected to another network. I’ve disconnected WiFi and refreshed the guide, but still the IP address is being used. I’m not sure why it’s using the IP address for WiFi though for the assets. Shouldn’t it just be the IP or hostname that was set for the DVR device?

Do you have image caching enabled in xteve? If not, then it probably the IP where the image can be downloaded. I had issues with this too when I was reading the XMLTV file directly rather than going through xteve. Also I think you need to have the enhanced guide option enabled in plex so it can download and cache the images too.

Ah perfect. I’ve disabled image caching in xTeVe and the guide seems to have loaded the images now after a refresh. Thanks!
