Red dot works perfectly but I'm not seeing the clock in Guide/Theater View.

EDIT: Since this post was moved - it might be helpful for readers to know that JR added a clock to the Theater View (Live) TV Guide page and a "red dot" in the TV Show time slot to indicate that the show is scheduled to be recorded - in version 166.

I don't see the time in the Guide either.

For the clock to appear, you need to:

1) Use Obsidian or Obsidian Touch Screen as your skin
2) Have your guide located at Video\Guide (exact naming)
3) Be running in English

#2 and #3 are a little fragile, but since everything is user-customizable library views (that could have any name and could be related to a TV guide or not) I'm not sure how to do it in a more elegant way.

I'll check on #2. I am compliant with #1 and #3.
I'm not really sure where my Guide is located - this is not something I have ever changed/messed-with.

If it is just easier to just show the clock on every Theater View page (like the Home page), that is okay with me.

Yup, I had renamed it "TV Guide".

Thanks for the guide improvements, but I'm not keen on #2, I have my guide under TV/Guide so I don't get the time

One of the great things about MC is how you can customise the views so easily, restricting where you can have the guide seems to take away from that.

And while I'm on it.....  how about a vertical time indicator line on the guide to clearly show what the current time is and what programs should be "Showing Now" ?

We'll remove this limitation in a coming build.

It's a great start. Like you I also went with TV Guide - but for now I will just use "Guide" instead of "TV Guide". Perhaps if there are enough users that prefer "TV Guide" over "Guide", Matt could make that change (at least until a better solution comes up). Anyway I'm happy with the new clock. Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, Matt addressed the question while I was typing.
