ROKU display options - Show Fields

[Chalklands 26]

Hi,

In a library on the PC app there is the option to show/hide the fields: 'Title' or 'Year' (... button)

Is this possible to show/hide 'Year' in the ROKU app? As far as I can see selecting the ... button only gives the options to 'Show Titles' or 'Group items into collections'.

 

Thanks

 

Pete

Hi.  No, the "Show Titles" button in this app toggles all the information shown below the card.  We should probably rename it to "Show Info".

ok, thanks for letting me know.

Is there a specific need where having the title span both lines could be a benefit? Is that what you are after?

If that second line with year wasn't there it triggers the conditional to allow the first line to wrap. That is what you want? Presently the Roku app isn't capable of doing all the tricks the web app and other applications can do. We will try to get there with time.

Hi,

Exactly. Because the year is showing the title is truncated and only a few characters are showing. I could delete 'year' from the metadata field but sometimes it is useful to have year even if it isn't showing, if that makes sense.

 

Thanks for your reply.
