Guest asrequested Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) The indicators for new show, HD show etc, are too big. They block too much of the show name. In the example I'm posting, it blocks one show, completely. They need to be smaller. It's too big in the web UI, also Edited November 3, 2016 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I think they just shouldn't be there at all so maybe the better answer is just to take them away (except for HD). You can't really make them any smaller or they will not be obvious enough. If you recall, the HD indicator in WMC was basically the same. The difference is WMC never tried to cram NEW or PREMIERE indicators into the program cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the guide in the web UI and ET, it appears that everything is bigger in ET. Maybe just scaling it down, so more can fit, would help? You can read the web, clearly.

Guest asrequested Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I don't want to lose the 'NEW' indicator. It's extremely useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB 26 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The boxes seem large enough to place them on two lines, maybe place indicators above the show name. or switch to a color coding and make new shows green. Then make HD an optional display or stripe the colors with grey and green for HD New? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If the section is highlighted, couldn't you make it scroll? Or change the background for "new" content. Just suggestions as I don't use the LiveTV functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It seems to be mostly OK in the web UI. It all seems to fit much better. I think all that's needed is to make it the same in ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Here's a thought. I don't know if this is possible or if it is possible, how difficult would be to implement. BUT...what about a way for us to scale the UI to the amount that we choose? Like in chrome, where you can use ctrl + or - to zoom (scale) up or down. I know the standard is 10ft from the seating area, but some people are closer or further away, different sized screens etc. This would solve multiple issues. I think this would be fantastic if it could be done. And of course it would scale the text size in the guide, too.

Vicpa 559 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Hi ember has a nice solution maybe something similar to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14923 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 We recently eliminated the time display because it is redundant and makes the screen very busy - making it harder to concentrate on what you really want to see. But two lines should be doable I would think. That is what the Android TV app does: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 That looks great! I'd love that in ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
