Sub-Groups in Theater View TV Guide?

(1/3) > >>

konkeydong75:
Apologies if this has been asked or answered before. I have looked but couldn't find anything.

Is there any way to create sub-groups of channels underneath Guide in Theater View?

When accessing the Guide through Theater View, it presents a grid listing EPG which is perfect.

What I am trying to do is to create a few sub-groups after the Guide, so instead of the next options following Guide being Favorite, To Be Recorded etc, there are a few channel groups there first, and when selecting one, it shows the EPG grid for just the channels in that group instead of the entire EPG channel listing.

I can get the entries to show up after the default Guide, but no matter what I try I either get a blank page or a listing of a smartlist containing the channel entries, but I cannot get this to show an EPG grid for those channels.

I subscribe to a few different TV services and providers and this would drastically reduce endless complaints from the family when I replace the incumbent system with JRiver.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Great day konkeydong75,

Here's at least the way i went:

I did copied the Guide entry from Theater View's "items to show" and created additional entries by adding the following custom rule pointing to a list:

--- Code: ---[Custom][=TVInfo(ChannelKeywords)&DataType=[List]]=[...]
--- End code ---

I'm also using multiple users, which then can be selected from Theater View or Standart View.
Via a smartlist, containing TV channels and using the tag editor you can adjust which user has access - which ends up as a listed channel or not within the EPG.
Advantage of using users is you could set a pasword for each, in case wanted.

Goodluck when customizing  ;D

Hi @Mans,

Thanks for replying.

I have tried but still had no luck.

What item are you adding to "items to show"? Is it library item?

Also when adding the custom rule, does the name of list need to be surrounded by " or ' if it contains spaces, or is that not required?

Mans:
Hi, you need to play a bit with customising,

I've added some new library items under TV>Guide>as nested variants of the original Guide value and added the customrule(s).
The ruler under Theater View TV will show you the variants to choose from.

Enjoy !

Thanks Mans,

I did try that for a couple of hours earlier with no luck.

I'll take another stab at it when I get some time.
