fallenwitch3r 41 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I use the emby fur Android TV app. I noticed that the category "Live TV" on the Startpage shows the running program in poster view. Is it possible to change the view to landscape. My TV guide scrapper uses landscape pictures and the the poster view looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Hi. Does it display differently in the web app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenwitch3r 41 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 This one is from the Website This one is from the emby for Android TV app Both uses the poster format. Now, how to change this to landscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Okay, so the web app is actually cutting them off. Where is the guide data from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenwitch3r 41 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) I think you didn't understand me. I don't want none of the formats I posted above. The second picture shows the full picture but it is sized to poster format. I don't want this poster view. It should be in landscape. My epg source is an XML from an external grabber. So it should look like (landscape) And not Like this (poster view) Edited August 24, 2021 by fallenwitch3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Hi. I understand. I believe the issue is that, with live TV guide data, we don't know the size/shape of the images before display time so the app cannot adjust to differences like this very well.

pünktchen 1261 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 But the user knows this normally. So an option for the xmltv import is needed: portrait or landscape. When it's portrait import it as primary image, when it's landscape import is as thumb. The apps would then adjust the view dependent on the available image type.

fallenwitch3r 41 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) @pünktchen This is what I mean. In other sections you can change the view to banner, portrait or wide. But this is not available for EPG images. These images are only there, no matter what format the picture source is. This is the view from my Startpage. All Pictures are in Portait And this is the View from the "more Epg" section as you see, the menu to change the view is available but not for the startpage. There is no way to change the view from portrait to landscape. Not even for Movies or series. Edited August 24, 2021 by fallenwitch3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Something like this could get messy quick, especially if using Emby Guide data for local channels and then xml for other m3u channels. That would give you mixed images on any of the "On Now" screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenwitch3r 41 Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 then you have to choose what kind of epg source you want to use. I use only one m3u list and one XML source. Is there no way to get this feature for one of the next release or is it possible that I can built in my own code for this into the necessary files?

Banner, Thump, Logo, Poster.... btw. there are differences between the web app and the Android TV app. You cant choose the preview view on the Now on Tab on the Android TV app for example.

Gracenote provides both image formats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know this. There are already similar feature requests for more control over the home screen sections since a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those options are not available there because the home page is a completely different type of layout with many different rows of different types of items on it. So there cannot be one single view choice for it. You are comparing a single grid of like items to the home page which has multiple rows of different types of items. The most reasonable suggestion I've seen for handling your specific issue would be the suggestion to set a default image shape on the live TV guide provider when you set it up.

Home page is completely different? You talk abo the live tv home or the real home? Don’t Mather, because it is wrong! On the real home page I can manipulate ALL libraries to show up as I like/want. Multiple rows, one landscape, one poster, one logo, ALL IS WORKING. So, tell me what’s the problem. The one you gave aint true. ”The most reasonable suggestion I've seen for handling your specific issue would be the suggestion to set a default image shape on the live TV guide provider when you set it up.” so, when I use landscape images for all channels it will show programs with their landscape images?
