MIB Columbus DAB Station Logos

[andyvee]

Anyone know how to get the DAB station logos to show?

 

I have managed to add station logos to the favourites, using the logo pack downloaded from the VW website here

but, I don't get a station logo if I switch the view on the DAB to show the large logos? They all show up fine on the favourites button though.

 

Do you have to load additional files, or are these supposed to be broadcast OTA?

[TudorM]

I think they're OTA, as I get some of them automatically on some of my channels. But not all of them.

[andyvee]

Which channels, and can you let me know which firmware version your MIB Columbus is running? Mine is 0101.

 

I haven't seen them for Radio 1 & 2, or Radio 5 Live, which are the ones I would expect to work.

 

Edit - just remembered you are in Romania!

 

Anyone in the UK get DAB logos OTA?

Anyone?

Nope get any DAB logos over the air here in the uk. Have had to add them manually.

I had to change the logos I downloaded over to JPEG to get them recognised though.

Is that just the logos for favourites, or can you get the large logos as well?

I've added the logos to my favourites and they do appear on the DAB station page. They are a bit small though so I'll have a play and see if there is a way to get larger ones on there.

Slightly off-topic but I keep wondering - what does "MIB" stand for.  I am guessing not Men In Black or Motor Insurers Bureau...

I created a folder on my SD card called Radio stations,

googled images with radio station name,

copied a suitable picture to the folder on the sd card,

on the favourites logos on radio, Amundsen in my case, under station logo, found the corresponding picture file and linked it.

As far as I know, logos don't appear OTA.

Hope this helps somewhat.

What size did you use for the logos?  Is it restricted 500x500 like with album artwork?

Resolution of up to 500x500 is 'recommended'. Don't know whether it's restricted or not.

The favourites logos aren't a problem, on the Columbus you can have a slideshow view which shows a large logo, these are all blank on mine, even with favourite logos added.

I'm not sure but I think they were all under 500 x 500.

Oh right, hmm, not sure then. Might be a resolution/size thing with the logos.

[spacenase]

I've installed logos from 192x114 to 520x300 in size and all show in the favourites and on the Station Information page. All of them are very small on the SI page though, certainly smaller than the space allocated for the logo.

 

Also, most of my album art is 600x600 and shows okay, although it can take some time to load. The recommended maximum size may explain why.

[andyvee]

Are the station logos jpeg or png files? I have a funny feeling the VW ones are png, plus they have names like Radio_1_s , so maybe a larger file with the same name can be used for the station info page?

Looking at the VW forums for the Discover Pro (Columbus equivalent), a larger logo is only displayed if it is over the air form the radio station.

 

You can use jpeg, png or bmp and you can download partially transparent logos in the correct size for the favourites list (200x120) from here:

Yep, that's where I got them from. Seems a bit hit and miss on the larger logos, but BBC World Service seems to broadcast OTA logo, so might see if that works on mine.
