[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1206632, member: 82144"] [USER=122090]@daWooky[/USER] Thanks :) I'd suggest that because these would not be skin-specific settings, they should go somewhere in the TV/radio -> TV sub-section instead of the skin settings dialog. In fact there are already settings ("show channel state icons...", "show episode info" and "show channel numbers") on the general tab that affect what is shown in the mini-guide. Any new setting(s) could perhaps be grouped (or even combined - since they'll all be "show..." or "hide...") with those existing settings. [USER=74879]@HTPCSourcer[/USER] How often do you use the mini-guide and what do you primarily use it for? If you don't think the current program start time would be useful to you, what about the current program progress percentage? (For me the current program start time - in addition to the progress percentage - helps me make decisions about whether I'll bother to watch a program.) My understanding is this wouldn't be possible without significant skin engine and/or list control changes. In order for the displayed text to be at the discretion of the skin designer, each of the ~10 details would need their own list item property (...or if not one property per detail, at least the more than three properties that are currently available). From the responses in this thread it seems that there are a variety of preferences about what should be shown. The German translation file hack seems to show that the community aren't willing to settle for customising their own installations (a little disappointing for an open source community!) and team members aren't willing to resist them even if it requires unpleasant hacks. When you combine these two factors, adding setting(s) is the only solution I can think of. Of course we could say "stop complaining and get used to it"... but somehow I don't think that would go down well. ;) Mmmm, I'd say primary instead of sole. In addition to now + next program info there are also the [unique] channel states and program progress (%). Personally I find those really useful. I suppose you don't watch a lot of live TV then?
