How do I get 3 hours/8 channels?
Looks like the old one to me....2 hours/7 channels.

Very nice. This update appears to have eliminated the errors I was getting in the XGuide including the page up and down issues.

I also really like viewing 3 full hours. However, I noticed that the channel numbers and icons no longer appear side-by-side. Can you remind me how to turn this on again?

I also noted that the Skin-schedule.xml file overwrote the existing file. (I had changed some of the colors) Is it possible for the install program not to overwrite this file?
Thank you for all your hard work.

Glad it is working. Was driving me nuts.

open up skin-horiz.xml there is an option to turn it on. On the line with minutepixel and stuff

I will make a note to fix that in the installer.

Reboot,
copy the file skin-horiz.xml from the blue into your skin.


<SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="70,58" visibleChannels="8" channelRowHeight="38" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="2" rounded="false" showChannelIcons="true" showChannelNumberAlway="false" showRecordingBar="true" MinutePixels="3.5" MinuteDraw="180" minutesToMove="30"/>

The TV Guide crashed with the 3/8 skin.xml file, when i use the old one its
working again ...

Do u have looked for my translation problem ? it would be very good if its
possible to translate u`re plugins completly into german language ...

I Think this is my biggest not solved problem, the rest i can do by myself
in the xml files (import them to my own skin layout) ...

Reboot,
copy the file skin-horiz.xml from the blue into your skin.

DUH! :o

Now if it were as fast as the regular guide...

I like the new mode.
I am getting an error after cycling through the display modes after the vertical display with inline descriptions - the error says "Error: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.
here is settings.xml (it's the default - I didn't change anything)
<Setting>
<!-- put in the order that you would want to show the gudes -->
<Horizontal Visible="True"/>
<Vertical Type="Bottom" Visible="True"/>
<Vertical Type="InLine" Visible="True"/>
<fudgefactor min="5"/>
</Setting>

EDIT: Adding "Visible="False" to the fudge factor node fixed it (it now looks like <fudgefactor min="5" Visible="False"/>)

cape-city,
do you have the log from the crash. I will look at the translation issues, I have been busy trying to fix the cache bugs.

reboot,
actually there is a performance problem. Everytime it reloads a section it makes another connection to the database and closes it. If I hold it open till you exit it should be even faster.
