More rows and columns on Guide screen ? (1 Viewer)

[rv73]

Hello all,

I am new to Mediaportal, and it looks pretty good.

I am keen to increase the number of rows and colums on the Guide screen, obviously to display more gudie data and channels.
Is there an easy way to do this please ?

Thanks,

RV


========================

FOR ROWS, it seems this is the way - thanks Doodles


To change from 8 lines to 11 lines:
Open .....\MediaPortal\skin\xface\mytvguide.xml in Notepad or another text editor. (I suggest you take a backup first. Then, if anything goes wrong, you can just restore the file from the backup.)
Locate the control with description "Channel Template"
Change the <height> from 54 to 39
Locate the control "Channel Image template" (just below "Channel template")
Change both <height> and <width> from 49 to 34
Locate control "Channel Label template" (just below "Channel image template")
Change <posY> from 14 to 8.

For 6 lines, use 72, 60 and 8. (Also change <posY> of "Channel label template" from 14 to 8, and <posY> of "channel image template" from 3 to 7)

For 8 lines, use values 54, 49 and 14
For 9 lines, use values 47, 42 and 11
For 10 lines, use values 43, 38 and 9
For 11 lines, use values 39, 34 and 8
For 12 lines, use values 35, 30 and 4. Also, change <font> in "Channel label template" from font13 to font12. (Thanks Metropolis)

For the radio guide, edit myradioguide.xml. I believe the values will be similar.


===============================

And F7 and F8 extend the time interval to 3 hours in the guide.
But on closing, reopening MP, it goes back to the default 1.5 hours view.

Any way to make it stay at 3 hours, or longer ?
