Changing Live TV "on now" & "upcoming" EPG images from "Thumb" to "Primary / Poster"

[NeilD7744 3]

Hi,

 

Since trying out Schedules Direct & epg123 with Emby clients on Android (FireTV) all my EPG images shown within "suggestions - On now - Upcoming" display as a "thumb" style image. When I was using Emby Guide data as my EPG source all my images were displayed as "primary / poster".

 

Is there anyway I can change the image type when using Schedules Direct as my EOG source so that a poster image is displayed for a show in suggestions / on now / upcoming menu's?

 

Thanks.

You would have to have the EPG supplying portrait images.  I think SD default is landscape though.

Using epg123 you can request either

Ok so i have tried EPG123... selected the option for poster style images,.. works fine when displaying upcoming movies (all posters), however TV shows remain landscape fanart.

Exactly where?

We favor thumbs for TV in some displays.

i can only show you what options i have.

gives me

there's a couple of landscape images but i'd be certain that there is no poster image for that show on tvdb

On now...

On now shows...

I have a mixture of images, and this loads up on the Fire TV stick outlined as a "poster" image, but with really small fanart images. Weird.

No matter what i change in epg123, Emby server or Fire TV app, unless i stop using schedules direct as an EPG provider, then i dont have consistent artwork within the Live TV section.

You’ve tried the clear cache button in epg123?

Other than that I’d suggest trying the epg123 dev on thegreenbutton forums. He’s very responsive
