Title Image for Currently Running TV Program - pixel24 - 2025-01-15
Hello everyone,
I have integrated IPTV from Streammaster into Jellyfin, and it works as expected. On the home screen of the Jellyfin app, I see blue placeholder images under "Now Playing" (see attachment). Is there a way to display preview images for the currently running program here?

The TV guide data would need to provide it. I believe the <icon> tag is used for that with XMLTV formatted guides.
Code:
<programme start="20250115043000 +0000" stop="20250115045700 +0000" channel="nhk.world">
<title lang="en">GRAND SUMO Highlights</title>
<episode-num system="onscreen">753</episode-num>
<sub-title lang="en">753</sub-title>
<desc lang="en">NHK WORLD-JAPAN presents a sumo highlights program for fans around the globe. Today the show features all top-division bouts from January 14, Day 3 of the Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo.</desc>

Ok, I checked it. I’m using: "https://xmltv.info/de/epg.xml" for the EPG data, but unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the relevant tag. Too bad :-(
Thanks for the information.

I have now added EPG data that includes the<icon ...>tag.
Jellyfin now correctly displays a preview image. However, I noticed that the channel name is not shown in the "Now Playing" section on the homepage. Is this intentional, or can it be configured? I couldn’t find any relevant setting in the Jellyfin desktop client (Linux).

AFAIK, there is no way to add the channel name to "Now Playing".
