More info in "Zap-OSD", is it possible? (1 Viewer)

[nordemoniac]

Hey! I love the Zap-OSD, being able to switch quickly through the channels, and see what's on, and stop when I've found something interesting.

One thing I'm missing though - I can see what the name of the show is, but what is it about?
I'm using StreamedMP, and I can see the current and next program, but I would very much like to see a couple of lines from the EPG-info as del, at least for the current show.

Is this in any way possible?

Well.. the Zap-OSD only shows for a couple of seconds so do your really think it is possible to read the infos in that short time?

But to answer your question: It could be possible but I haven't tried myself.

You have to go into the tvZAPOSD.xml and add this control-block:

<control>
      <description>Plot</description>
      <type>textboxscrollup</type>
      <id>38</id>
      <posX>230</posX>
      <posY>540</posY>
      <width>820</width>
      <height>109</height>
  <seperator>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________</seperator>
      <label>#TV.View.description</label>
      <font>mediastream12</font>
    </control>

Change the posX, posY, width & height values so that they will fit into the ZapOSD. The example I posted comes from TV-OSD.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but 5 seconds is enough to check if I've seen the episode before, etc.

Thanks! I'll try this tonight!
