Hello,

I'm trying to add the TV guide to my customized Theater View and cannot find it. Where is it?

Antoine

[JimH]

Maybe you have TV turned off.  Tools > Options > General > Features.

[Antoine.]

It's activated, I'm using the TV right now.

When in the options > Theater View > Items To Show > Add... > there's nothing there to add the Guide.

[JimH]

The Guide is under Video.

The Guide is under Video.

I can't find it:

[Antoine.]

Just installed MC26, cannot find it there either  ?

[JimH]

Did you set up an EPG (guide)?  It's part of TV Setup.

Oh yes, I have. And the programs appear in the channel info too when I'm playing them.

[JimH]

Do you see a guide in Standard View?

The Guide in Theater View should be under Video.

Yes, I see a guide in standard.

I had the Guide in Theater View once under video, indeed, but ever since I customized the Theater View, I cannot recreate it.

[JimH]

What is under Video?  You have Television selected.

That's Standard View.  Theater View?

The Guide in Theatre View has to be built. It isn't a one-step-adds-it-back process. There are very specific expressions that are used for the Guide. Well, you could Reset the Theatre View views, but that resets all views, so you would lose all other customisations you have made.

The best way to rebuild it, given that it seems you have deleted it, is to create a new "Reference" Library, don't let it import anything, and then look in there how the Guide is set up in Theatre View in that Reference Library. Take screenshots and copy all the formulas so that you don't have to retype them, which would be prone to error.

Note that you were in the right place in your Reply #4, but you need to start by adding a "Library Item", not "Library Item From Standard View".

Ok, I do not have the patience for doing all that.

Is it not possible to introduce a TV Guide preset in Theater View, to reconstruct it easily rather than having to nuke my whole Theater View?

Yeah I tried, It didn't recreate everything the Guide has. Especially the Grid was not rebuilt.

Once you have the Guide built as per the Reference Library, open the Guide page as per your image, press the up arrow, right to More, down to Toggle List Style. Keep selecting Toggle List Style until you see the grid.

Done.

Ha! It was just a matter of List Style in the end. Thank you!

I hope the guide will still be added the list of preset view for Theater View!
