TV Guide Display Rotates (1 Viewer)

[jimbojumbo]

Hi all,

Just got my Media Portal installed and the EPG installed. Kudos to all involved, a magnificent effort)

The only query I have is it possible to turn off the rotation of the channel displays.

To explain what I mean, I have uploaded this image (http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mediaportaltvguideyg8.png )

as you can see it stats with ABC2 and down below is ABC2 and no matter how much I rotate the menu keeps repeating.

Any way to just show the available channels.

You may like to increase the font size, which will cut down the amount of displayed channels.

Get some TV Logo's, EPG looks Boring.

hey jimbojumbo,

I think many users in oz have this same problem since the number of FTA channels seems less than other countries.

Here's how I got my TV Guide right:

1. Using notepad, open up the mytvguide.xml for your appropriate skin
2. Backup the original (e.g. mytvguide.bak)
3. Then find this section...

<control>
<description>Channel template</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>20</id>
<posX>117</posX>
<posY>166</posY>
<width>240</width>
<height>35</height>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="500">WindowClose</animation>
</control>

... and change the <height>35</height> value to something higher. I personally use a value of 60 but I have 6 channels displayed whereas you have only 5 (no SBS), so maybe you could try something like 65.

<---- next part is optional ---->

4. Find the section(s) (toward the bottom)...


<description>template for program genre light area</description>
<type>label</type>

<font>font10</font>
<textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="500">WindowClose</animation>
</control>


... and change the <font>font10</font> values to something larger (I use font14).

Hope this helps. I would have simply attached my amended guide file for you but I think you're using BlueTwo regular while I'm using BlueTwo Wide.

If you still want it or get intro trouble let me know.

Cheers
