    I haven't posted in a while, but this interest me. :)
    FlipGer.. why cant colors be generated the way you said. 8-12colors, but the genre-info collected from the tvguide.xml remain the same?
    My suggestion is as follows.. you look for colors in the epg, and if you are looking for a movie look for "color-here". To check the genre/movie-type , hover it and the original genre shows.

    Did this make sense to you?

    Hi Lyxalig,

    sure this makes sense, and I will give it a try.

    What I fear / do not like:
    - possible slow down of EPG
    - no clear data integrety

    What I like:
    - it is much easier to implement ;)

    Hi Flip,

    Has there been any further progress on this "Genre colours" exercise?

    I am not meaning to be "pushy" ( :D ) - just wondering if I have missed something....... :wink:

    TV Guide Genre colors doesn't work for me, although I have checked "Use colors for genres in the tvguide" in Setup. Any clues? I use skin PojectX

    Hi, I can't get it to work either.
    I tried rc2 without and with cvs, different skins.
    I use o2grabber to create the .xml file.

    Is the <category> line necessary? Some shows don't have it.

    Could it be this category messing things up?
    <category>Music &amp; Arts</category>

    Is this correct xml?:
    <desc lang="sv" />

    In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...
