Hello,

I discovered your integration and this is very cool.

I'd like to use this data source : https://xmltvfr.fr/xmltv.php (eg. https://xmltvfr.fr/xmltv/xmltv_tnt.xz).

In this XML, there is <icon src="**url**"/> attribute, and it will be nice in sensor attribute, this image can be defined.

Thank you

hi, do you mean having the image url as text in the attributes of the channel sensor? or as a separate image entity for every channel?

Hi,

My first idea was an image for each programme key from data source. This image will be present in sensor attributes.

But like you mention, it will be nice also to have channel image also and like that, in a custom card we can show image channel, and program image .

Hi @agencetwogether ,
i've started working on this idea in PR #39.

as a quick side note (since i couldn't find anything), do you happen to know of any custom integrations that also provide image entities? preferrably some that make extensive use of unit tests?
i'm not quite sure if the way i'm handling the image entities is correct, but i couldn't find anyone else doing this kind of stuff...
