Hmmm don’t understand… what must i do to use the 2.0 release with HA 0.107.7?
After installing with HACS do i need only a restart ?

ftp21:

CLOUDFRONT_IMAGE_URL_BASE = "http://ethaneurope.it.imageservice.sky.com/pd-logo/skychb_{0}{1}/389/80"
“389/80” is the size of image.
{0} is the SID
{1} is the channel name without symbols like this:

Copy to clipboard
chid=''.join(e for e in channelNode["t"].lower() if e.isalnum())
..........
{"imageUrl": CLOUDFRONT_IMAGE_URL_BASE.format(sid,chid)}
We can take image also from “https://guidatv.sky.it/pd-logo/skychb_{sid}{chid}?tr=n-logo_80

I looked at similar images before. The problem with them is that they are the logos designed to go in bottom left of channel, so they are filled with white space. If you know how to easily crop them to take out the whitespace, they could be used. Generating the url is fairly easy, I’ve done most of that work already, but the image will just appear at bottom left of the player.

Yes, it should have prompted you to restart. No configuration change required.

ftp21 · April 13, 2020, 11:47am

Unfortunately they are the only images used. Also on guidasky.
But these are transparent PNG no chance to fit on card?

RogTP · April 13, 2020, 1:15pm

I’m afraid I don’t handle how it is presented in the card, that is done by the Lovelace cards. It would all need to be done in the url, and I don’t know of a way to crop via url.

I have written the code to provide the correct url, which I’ll probably release, then you can add an extra parameter ‘country’ to your config, but the image will show at bottom left (I think) without the blue background (which I added).

Ok for IT EPG i forge this URL (Channel: FOX HD)

Added entity icon to show Live/Recording/Application/Off

Where i get those icons? Or how to show them inside the card?
I am actually viewing a movie but what i can see is:

You’ve overridden the icon somewhere. Either in Lovelace or in customise.yaml

Coedy · April 13, 2020, 3:07pm

Take the remote icon off the Lovelace card and you’ll see the ones Roger set.
You’ve over-riden it on yours to show a remote control in the top left.

I’ll see if I can figure this and make the code generic enough

maurizio53 · April 13, 2020, 3:11pm

Thanks @RogTP and @Coedy… solved!

RogTP · April 13, 2020, 4:00pm

I’m hopeful. Putting the current UTC time in that url, and set pagenum=0 will provide the current programme. But I don’t have that channel number from the calls to the box, so would need to look it up at that other url. I’ll see what can be done, but got to go back to work tomorrow, bank holiday over and curry to cook tonight.

From “/as/services” in IT i have “c” for LCN. You can retrieve this number on:

If you need help PM me

RogTP · April 13, 2020, 6:37pm

I have already PM’d you

yashijoe · April 15, 2020, 8:46am

Good job, everything works fine
Thank you

I have just release a new version (v2.1.2) of the SkyQ component. The major change is support for Italy.

This release includes an updated version of pyskyqremote which adds support for countries other than the UK. At the moment the only added country is Italy, where support for live programmes and programme images has been added.

To utilise the Italy information add the following to your configuration.yaml for the skyq media player. Also ensure that ‘live_tv’ is removed or set to True.

country: "IT"

maurizio53 · April 18, 2020, 12:13pm

Is this correct? It seems the image is too big for the card:

Sam1501 · April 18, 2020, 12:37pm

Have you tried setting artwork: full-cover

maurizio53 · April 18, 2020, 1:11pm

I am using full-cover…

RogTP · April 18, 2020, 1:28pm

Please let me know the exact channel name/number you are on, plus time of day. I don’t see any channel information there so not sure if you have encountered a bug. In any case, the integration does not do the image sizing, the Lovelace cards do. The only images I have provided are the application ones, and you can add those yourself if you wish.
