Thumb not displayed for DirectoryObject

Hi,

 

I've got the problem that thumbs are not displayed for created DirectoryObjects. Just the title of the object is displayed within a list.

 

I'm using the thumb from a ressourcefile and it works at the main menu.

 

 

        oc = ObjectContainer(title1=prevTitle, title2=TEXT_TAGCHANNELS, no_cache=True)

        for tag in json_data['entries']:
                oc.add(DirectoryObject(key=Callback(GetChannels, prevTitle=tag['name'], tag=int(tag['identifier'])), title=tag['name'],thumb=R(CHANNEL_ICON)))

 

Perhaps someone has a hint for me what's going wrong...

Cheers,
Sascha

I've got the same problem with my media files... All files are displayed as text and not as icons.

Try testing with a different client. I'm pretty sure that Plex/Web (and possibly others?) has a habit of "collapsing" lists where all items share the same thumbnail.

What do you mean with "another client"? I'm trying to access the webinterface of PMS via Firefox. This is/will be the most used way for me to access my media additionally the TVHeadend TV-Streaming app I'm trying to develop.

I mean any of the other Plex clients (Plex Media Center, Plex Home Theater, Plex for iOS, Plex for Android, Plex for Roku, Plex for GTV, Plex for WP, Plex for Win8) to which you might have access. If you don't have any Plex friendly devices other than your PC, then I would suggest Plex for Home Theater (PHT). Point being, not all clients behave the same way given the same input. It's one of the unfortunate realities of Channel Development. If you can confirm that the thumb info is actually parsed and sent properly, then it is most likely a client issue (which may or may not be by design). The other option is to "walk" the xml tree manually using your browser or curl to confirm that the data is correct. To do so, start with

then, you can traverse the xml tree using the "key" values and the pms IP address to form complete URLs for testing.
