Hi Dave,
Thank you for the detailed reply. Emby provides screenshots and the rest of metadata for movies and it is excellent it didn't do it in the start until I removed the prefix Movies in icetv settings.
I found out a product called MCImportXMLTV from
http://mcefun.nrossen.dk/. I was able to set it up it uses webget to download icetv xmltv file and then it downloads metadata from thetvdb.com and themoviedb.org it worked very well it picked up some Australian shows but one issue is I had is that when it downloaded the guide data again the next day it stopped my recording and wasn't able to press record. Pressing record doesn't do anything. I recalled that I had a similar error long time ago with wmc. As that pc is used for live tv I don't have much time to tinker. I will try again.
From reading it is an extra code in xmltv <icon src="

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd776338.aspxThe only issue is that you are providing a commercial product so there could be a charge to access it or that you have to contribute I don't know it has to be asked. It is one of those things whether it will bring in new customers so far I have recommended 4 people ICETV just it would be awesome to have that facility I will ask emby can they get the thumbnails for tv guide in USA all that is provided through schedules direct. I am sure mediaportal and other opensource software could make use of it not just emby.
You should try emby for your self and see that it is a awesome product and it is getting better and better the best is if you have an issue the community is really helpful and the main developer always replies. The issue and suggestions I had are nearly all taken on board and issues fixed.
Thank again
