Sub-Groups in Theater View TV Guide?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yaobing:
Please read the wiki article on Theater View Guide setup, if you have not already done so.

Mans' suggestion, using this custom rule:


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

is just a variation on "Favorite" setup described in the wiki article.  Note that in the code above. "[...]" should actually be a keyword.  It is [Favorite] for Favorite view.  You can add keywords to each channel, then use the keyword to set up your sub-groups.

Yes, you add a Library item.

For example, I can add my name "Yaobing" as a keyword to the channels that I want to watch, and then create a custom view by clicking "Add...", Library item.  I name this item "Yaobing" and clear all checkboxes under Options.  Now I click "Set rules for file display", and in the resulting dialog window, I create this custom rule:


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

KEYWORDS!

Thanks Yaobing, I don't know how I missed that, I had read the guide setup article, but I was getting hung up on and adding in the name of the smartlist thinking it should be the name of a list and not a list of values.

The WAF is very important with these things and this will save me a load of complaints!

Mans:
Glad to hear you've nailed it Konkeydong75,
Once you start customising MC it seems we'll never stop :-)
So many challenges and possibilities to go for,

Enjoy !

Hi @mans @yaobing,

I have one more question on this one I can't seem to work around.

When navigating from one group in the guide to another there is a delay I can't eradicate. It's not awful, maybe 5 seconds, but enough to be annoying.

It does not seem to matter how many channels are in a group so I'm assuming it's to do with looking up the keywords?

The channels displayed in each group have only one keyword each.

The server is a 3ghz i5 with 16gb ram and is fairly nippy with everything else. The clients display the same issue with varying hardware specs.

Any suggestions would really be appreciated.

Mans:
Greatday Konkeydong75,

Such a delay shouldn't be happening.
Fyi i don't see any delay when switching any menu or roller inside Theater View.
Even the NUC's, which I'm using as clients, aren't showing any hesitation.

I'm sure it can't be related to the lookup of keywords, that's a too lightweight action to cause any delay.

Maybe Yaobing has a clue what's causing this or a hint to look for.

Goodluck !
