LiveTv EPG Details

[Here's Jonny]

When viewing LiveTv the details that are overlayed on to the screen shows the channel name and number, it's icon and the EPG data.

Not all the EPG data is shown. Some of it is cut of..

It's as if the Overlay needs to be an inch taller or the font a bit smaller.

Anything I can do about it ?

Thanks

Most video card drivers have options to allow you to adjust the overscan of the tv out.

he may also mean that he's got too large of a description for the OSD box.

You can edit the skin.xml in the skinname/OSD directory there are two entries you might want the livepreview and timeshift.

I have done it, but my display is almost half the page.

I think it is the description that is larger than the box.
I'll have a look and see what can be done

Thanks

Can you point me in the right direction on what to change to increase the amount of description that can be shown !

Here is my one. Remember it's for BlueMCE2 but it's the sizes of these sections you want to look at:

Code:

and you can do mini guide as well. I think they all started at 120 for the size height. And for these to go you would be recommended to have VMR9 or 7 because other wise you loose most the of the screen, and the VMR's use transparency.

I take it this bt I need to change !

<DrawText text="@description" loc="30,337" size="600,150" textStyle="OSDText" align="Left"/>

I can change that but nothing happens !
