Something different in between.

Annoying topic... missing station logos.

Some stations don't broadcast one. Some companies make promises about how easy and how great everything is, but somehow nothing comes of that.

There were also some logos missing from my station list that were not provided. Since I have no idea about programming, I had to come up with something else. So I took a look at it and asked Torsten for advice. He gave me a tip straight away and I just started.

It all worked wonderfully, so I thought I would make a "short" guide, so that others can add their missing logos.

So let's start from the beginning.

Start Dabdream, search for channels...

We have stations but no logos, so let's continue with Radio DNS Copyright download.

We now have some station logos but by no means all of them.

( ignor the Logo here, it was not provided by RDNS )

Now you can hope that the broadcasters send the logos from time to time and then you can save them manually by long pressing the logo. Unfortunately, not everyone does this or they send album covers of the artist currently playing.

Now we have the option to download a missing station logo and add it with Set station logo.

Here some equipment for a test of USB DAB adapters...maybe tomorrow.

So all we need is a logo, which you can find somewhere on the internet. You can also take a screenshot. Pretty simple but tedious.

Especially if there are several station logos that are missing.

But there is still the option of exporting and importing logos and I took a closer look at that.

I exported logopack and it was saved in the documents folder as a ZIP file. I opened it and all the channels from the channel list were there, but of course not all the channel logos.

I started looking and I found a station logo pack for Germany with different sized images. I filtered out the 600x600 images. I had logos, but they didn't work straight away because they needed the correct spelling.

And that's the crux of the matter.

The logos had all the required information in the file names, but the spelling was incorrect. So it was time to rename them. I simply took a free program from the internet and played around a bit until the spelling worked.

The spelling is:

Channel name - ECC_Service-iD

"Channelname space hyphen space ECC hypen below Service-iD"

Example:

ROS Weser - E0_D48F

"ROS Weser space hyphen space E0 hyphen below D48F"

After all the station logos had the correct file names, I simply packed them back into the ZIP file and saved the whole thing.

Then back to dabdream, Import logo pack, one moment later...I had some more Logos.

I have prepared a list like this for Germany. Here, too, a few logos are still missing or i did a mistake, but a lot have been added.

If you export your station logo list again, it will be smaller because only the logos of stations that are in your station list will be saved.

So if someone gets their hands on a channel logo list whose filenames contain the following information: "channel name and service ID", you can rename it and add the missing ECC and get a working logo pack.

Again in really short form:

Export the logo ZIP from dabdream, open it, insert the renamed station logos

Channel name - ECC_Service-iD

"Channelname space hyphen space ECC hypen below Service-iD"

Example:

ROS Weser - E0_D48F

"ROS Weser space hyphen space E0 hyphen below D48F"

save and import them back into dabdream.

I hope it is understandable.

Attention!!!

It is only a German logo pack, maybe also working for our neighbors if they receive channels and logos are missing.

If you take the attached ZIP file, it will replace your existing logo pack, but in my case it just added more logos.

Unfortunately, I can't create any more logo packs for other countries because I just couldn't find any packages with suitable file names. Hence the instructions.

Have fun with it.

I am not the owner of any of these logos and am not responsible if your receiving device catches fire.
