Syntax and example

Use stable HTTPS image URLs, reasonable image dimensions and artwork you have permission to distribute or reference. A broken logo must not prevent playback.

Common mistakes

  • Using typographic quotation marks instead of straight quote characters.
  • Changing identifiers during bulk edits without updating related EPG data.
  • Assuming every IPTV player implements optional metadata in exactly the same way.
