What does tvg-logo mean?

tvg-logo is a playlist metadata attribute commonly used to supply an artwork address for a channel. A compatible player may fetch and cache that image separately from the video and programme-guide data.

Why it matters

The image can be outdated, unavailable or mismatched while playback continues normally. An app may also override it through local settings or another metadata source. A familiar logo establishes only what artwork is displayed; it does not prove that a stream is officially licensed or that a platform subscription is included. Artwork troubleshooting should remain separate from account access.

A practical example

For example, a correct live broadcast can appear beside an old channel logo until an image cache updates. Refresh the documented artwork source or report the metadata issue rather than deleting a working account solely to replace the image.
