When I start vdr and using the skinflatplus plugin, I see many log entries:

Nov 18 11:23:06 vdr vdr[1639]: [1639] imageloader LoadLogo:
/mnt/storage/video/plugins/skinflatplus/logos//kuwait radio 1
obsolete.png could not be loaded
Nov 18 11:23:06 vdr vdr[1639]: [1639] imageloader LoadLogo:
/mnt/storage/video/plugins/skinflatplus/logos//kuwait - radio quran
obsolete.png could not be loaded

I see a reference to an image cache and I assume it is trying to load
logos that no longer reside in the logos directory.

How can I clear the cache, (and where is it located)?

Thanks,

Richard

logos that no longer reside in the logos directory.
I presume it is the other way around...
There used to be a radio channel called "kuwait radio 1" which vanished
for whatever reason.
VDR renamed the channel to "kuwait radio 1 obsolete", for you
convenience (So you know it is gone). When ever VDR tries to tune to
that channel, skinflatplus is now looking for a matching logo, which is
just not there.

Thanks for that, it makes sense, as my channels.conf is full of many
obsolete entries, so I guess on startup, skinflatplus is scanning
channels.conf, (which is when I see all the spurious messages), in order
to create the image cache.

Looks like some channels.conf housekeeping might be in order... :)

Kind regards,

Richard
