MC13 allows you to customize how content is displayed in Theater View:



EDIT: Still more Theater View customization is described here.

Sweet!  Can't wait to try it out.

First I thought this was about file caption in TV. This might therefor be a little off topic, but I think this is justified anyway.
I think there should be done more to the default caption code. Here is one example (let's hope I copied the right line from my backup document):

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Media Type], Audio),[Name] - [Artist] - /([Album]/)   //   Rating: [Rating],If(IsEqual([Video Type], Series),If(IsEmpty([Name]),S[Season]E[Episode]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/),S[Season]E[Episode]/ (NP:[Number Plays]/) - [Name]),If(IsEqual([Video Type], Music Videos),If(IsEmpty([Artists]),[Artist] - [Name],[Artists] - [Name]),If(IsEqual([Video Type], Conserts),[Artist] - [Name],[Name]))))

This is a caption with my custom "Video Type" library field, and do not contain any Image or data caption yet. But I think something like this, that contains the Video, Audio, Images and data should be available as a default. This kind of captions should be easier to make with a GUI similat to those that have been made to other parts of MC.

Wow... 13 is very nice. Two questions though.

1. Is there a way to disable the background animation in Theater view (it's neat, but a little distracting)?
2. Is there a way to get the EPG to display more intuitively in Theater view? Something closer to the conventional time-vs-channel grid (like you find in Tivo, MCE, BTV etc...).

 

[JimH]

1.  No.

2.  We think this is similar to TiVo.

[LanceD]

1. Sure you can (just found it)...you have to remove the <annimation> tag in the main.xml file in the skin folder.

2.





Really?

The TiVo EPG (or most EPG interfaces for that matter) is set on a grid with channels on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal. Is there a way to get that kind of EPG interface in theater view?

[jmone]

Couple of point on Customisation:
1) TV EPG Layout - As per Lance, we need the grid format as at present you can not tune a station in TV of your EPG is empty + the layout makes more sence (grouped by station & time not just time)
2) TV Assignable Channel Logo Coverart to Stations - I know Yaobing was looking to add this a while ago
3) ISO File Formats - Still can not be added to TheaterView (still using a Smartlist)

Thanks
