Small live TV preview in TV guide screen

[mmatheny]

Most other screens have this

[stefan]

In gbpvr\skin\Blue\tv guide\skin.xml, there is a line that says

Code:

<!-- <Element name="InsetRect" loc="13,340" size="150,110"/>    -->

if you change that to

Code:

<Element name="InsetRect" loc="13,340" size="150,110"/>

, I think it will work. But I haven't tried it, and I'm no skinner, so...

[mmatheny]

Didn't work

That should be all that is required.

It works fine here, though the position isnt great and probably needs to be tweaked.

just checking - you did restart GBPVR after editing this file, now did you?

[mmatheny]

Well, I did restart the recording service and GBPVR - I'll try again.

Well I tried this as well and it didnt work here either! Is it something to do with the position/size do you think?

I presume it just displays a preview of the TV channel in a small window (bottom left) of the TV Guide, is that correct?

Thanks

I love these 'secret' tweaks!! did you remove the comment markers <-- --> before AND after the line? worked first time here - no need to alter the position to get it working, but loc 13,390 and size 95,70 is pretty tidy (although small!)

Just curious, I got the small screen on the guide to work, but cant seem to get it to size on MVP. I've moved things around a bit using my PC and local GBPVR to test, but when I go pull it up on the MVP, the screen is like 30 percent larger and overlaps. Changing the size does not seem to effect it on MVP. I can position it though, so I can see it's taking some of my XML changes.

And yes, I have been reloading the recording service and powering down MVP.

Try these setting:

Code:

<Element name="InsetRect" loc="5,400" size="113,83"/>

In standard blue skin it should place a small liveTV preview which give access back to main screen>LiveTV by clicking this field with your mouse. You don't need to restart GBPVR recording services only remember to first activate a LiveTV show, press "home" on keyboard so you exit with an active LiveTV preview and then go to TV guide. Now you should be able to see a small preview in the left corner and still be able to look for what is on other channel. :o
