A couple of requests

[Dai]

Sub

Firstly, thanks for providing such a great piece of software. I'm currently building a media PC, I found you site at the weekend, installed the software and it pretty much does everthing I wanted. The ability to use the TV out on the PVR 350 for the menus is particularly good.

So, a couple of small requests.

The font size (particularly in the TV guide) is difficult to read on the TV [as nobody else has mentioned this, I guess I must have bag eyes or a bad TV ! :) ]. Any chance of adding an option of a larger font size, maybe just a small/large in the configuration tool. I've tried playing around with the font smoothing settings in the display settings but they dont improve things much on the TV.

I read with interest, a post on the board (I can't find it again though) where somebody was saying that they used a 3 tier directory structrue for their media files, top level was artist, 2nd level was album and botom level was tracks and they would like to see a list view for the artists, an Icon view for the albums and then a list view for the tracks. This is exactly the scheme I use. I thought that a solution to this might be to get the software to remember the view you last used for each folder, any chance of this?

I believe that there is volume control on the playback of MP3s but is there a volume control on the live TV or video playback? The keys on the remote for the volume are the same as the left/right navigation and they skip through the icons rather than change volume. Am I missing something? also, it would be good to have an animated volume bar on the OSD (like on many TVs) when changing volume so you get some feedback that it is working.

The font size (and alot of other things) can be changed by editing the .xml files in the skin section.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for that Matt, thats made a difference, I only had to up the text by one point size to make it a whole lot more readbable, maybe I'll get round to writing an entire new skin.

Only problem I've got with the sizing now is that in the TV Guide grid, two lines of text don't fit in the box because of the grid row height. I can't find anyway to adjust the grid row height (or the overall grid size). I really need to be able to adjust the row height, grid width and grid time scale scaling (i.e. pixels per hour) to make it look right.

Cheers

I dont think there is a way to currently adjust the grid box heights. I can't remember if you can resize the length of the boxes, i will take a look when i get home.

I have nearly finished my skin  - its just SUB adds menus and features quicker than i can skin for
