The skin is nice. Unfortunately still no menu editor is available. In the backdrop themeI have an error message when I try to select Movies using moving pictures. other themes are working well.

@HTPCSourcer: Can you explain what you mean with "popcorn-type themes"?

Personally, I don't complain about features when a developer give you the option to change or disable them, like I did with the themes.. The complain itself doesn't make any sence to me. So please only report things you don't like or are broken wich you CAN'T change..

So, let's move on, because we are talking in circles here..

A new day, with new opportunities.. I'm still thinking about a way to make the mini EPG working for everyone (or atleast as many people as possible)

Here is a new idea wich is allready working for me; (not everything is perfectly in place right now, but it's just an idea)

I can add this in 3 formats with 3, 6, and 9 rows wich you can configure in settings.

EDIT: BTW, I was allready considering to use the test panel again..

@HTPCSourcer

Here are the files for the 9 row mini EPG with everything optimized. I hope you like it, but please tell me what you think.

The image most been copied into the mediafolder. Filename is still the old one, but that will been changed when I release this at some time.

Happy testing!

Cheers

You're certainly correct when you say that it's not entirely consistent with all your other screens. The information shown is ok, yet the fact that it is displayed on the black background is not perfect. Personally I also think that 9 channels makes the overlay a little bit too large, leaving not much of the picture. 8 would be more my preference.

Or this one:

IMHO this is better than the xml from posting #643 as the additional information (group and time) is on top of the window, hence the eye does not need to jump down and up again. Time can be in this format (hh:mm:ss) or just hh:mm. I would leave out group numbering (e.g. 2/6)

General question: Assuming I wanted to get the standard Titan Mini-EPG view, would it be enough to just delete some of your files to have the screen look into thew Titan direectory, or alternatively, which files would I need to copy into Titanius to get the Titan view (which is exactly what I would like to see )?

Hello Marcel,

I am completely confused now.

My posting 631 is showing the Mini-EPG of a Titanius 1.6.0.1 installation on one of my HTPCs. This view is what I currently have on most of my HTPCs and I would like to get it back on those where I installed the recent 1.7.0. So I reinstalled 1.6.0.1 but unfortunately the Mini-EPG is not changing back to what it was in 1.6.0.1.

The installer is now saying "Can't locate the installer package. Install aborted." Should I completely delete the Titanius directory and start again?

If you really look into something customized then kindly take a look at posting 631, which is showing the 8 channel view with the blue bar on top. It is this view, which I would consider the best, if it had the group info in the top.

The installer is now saying "Can't locate the installer package. Install aborted."

Ok, I got this sorted out: refresh the MPEI and the download is again possible. Strange behavior.

So I explicitly downloaded and installed 1.6.0.1 - but what I get is 1.7.0.0 ... This suggests that older versions are not available. Well, so be it, but then it might be better to adjust the installer in a such a way that it is not showing older versions. No idea if that's possible.

What happens if you empty the MPEI cache in MPEM and then refresh?

More as a proof of concept rather than a final version, I quickly put together this Mini EPG view (based on 1.6.0.1).
