[Proposal] - More compact tvguide

The current layout of the tv guide is like; whats on tv right now?

I would like a more compact layout like the one we see on paper, where each channel is a vertical coloumn, and you get an all day overview.

I would really like to see this as well.

 

This is a proposal for the webinterface, not the MediaPortal tv guide...

 

Here is an example I think works well: http://www.dr.dk/tv/oversigt

It is in danish, but it is the layout we're interested in.

Another example is this web interface for mediaportal, which also has a vertical layout option, which I really like because it was very compact. Not fancy, but extremely functional. Unfortunately it is no longer maintained.

 

I think the best chance for this to get implemented is if someone who is interested in this creates a skin that has a vertical TV guide. I'm personally not interested in implementing it (at the moment).

 

jsabrahamsen: It is exactly BigKev's mp-web-interface I have used, and I liked the compact layout. Not very pretty, but extremely functional.
When using the webinterface, I do not intend to actually watch tv. But I would like to plan my recordings, when I'm not at home.
For that I would like a more compact layout.

I have dl'et the source, and it seems that I can basically reuse the view and just let two foreach loop swap places.
But I must connect to a database and get some data before I can say anything concrete.

 

How about the mobile layout in BlueShift?

Maybe I can add a button to toggle to a multicolumn version of that for wider screens.

 

It seems very much like a usable solution, it try it!
