Colour Coding Genre in TV Guide

KevinM · 2007-10-24, 14:19

In the standalone version of MP you can colour code the TV guide by genre. It was a bit garish to use but a useful feature.

There doesn't seem to be a way to colour code the guide in the Client/Server setup - the option is greyed out on the MP configuration and missing in the TV Server. Is this deliberate?

If this feature is implemented again, it would be useful to be able to pick the colours and genres. Personally, I would just like to highlight films in a slightly different shade from the rest of the listings.

Yes very garish. I turned it off immediately after trying it. The colours need to me more subtle and/or selectable as you suggest.

It's a matter of personal taste. I love the colours and miss them in the server set up but as BS said, some people hate them.

Would be good to have it again as an option though
