Additional EPG items not showing (1 Viewer)

[tnarraf]

I have my xmltv feed (which since the demise of Atlas I now use webgrabplus and tvguide.co.uk)
I cannot see an answer as to if Media Portal will show the additional information about the program in the TV Guide

It has additional information such as <rating> <star-rating> <actor> (see attached file)
but the TV guide does not seem to show this information
I am using the PureVision HD skin - but also tried with Titan skin

Despite much hunting round the forums I have not found an answer

Can Media Portal TV Guide show rating and actor information ?
Is there a plugin that does (could not see one) ?
If the answer is that it is unable to - then I will alter my webgrabberplus config to add these extra items to the description field - but this seems a backwards way to do it

Hi

Can Media Portal TV Guide show rating and actor information ?

Unfortunately the answer is no and no.
Star rating information is read by the XMLTV plugin, stored in the database and accessible for 3rd party plugins. However the TV plugin itself doesn't use/show that info.
Credits information (actor, director etc.) is not read or stored.

Is there a plugin that does (could not see one) ?

Not sure.

Not sure.

I think a little more information can not hurt. If this is not hard to do, then I think it should be added.

Thanks for a quick response - Maybe a possible future development ?

For the moment I can adjust the config in webgrabplus to add this information into the description of the xmltv input and then it will show up in the guide

Possibly. TVE 3.5 reads and stores the credits and other info. Front-end display will need to be done by somebody who is more comfortable with user interfaces than I am.
