EPG - 10 feet view

[Peter Nent 71]

By using Emby for live-TV, the EPG is not easily visible/readable in a socalled 10-feet view: the font size is so small, it is not readable at 10-feet distance.

Please compare the EPG with the 'good old' MCE EPG, which was very easy to ready and handle at 10-feet distance....

Question: is there a setting to make it 10-feet readable ? or even better: try to incorporate the good old MCE interface and functionality in total into Emby....

Hi, curious what size TV are you viewing on at 10 foot?

And what app / device ?

I'm using Emby in different ways. This 10-feet feature request is intended for the 'normal' browser GUI on our 46-inch TV, as the Emby Theater already has such a 10-feet approach (bigger font/characters), but is (in my opinion) not as easy to use as the 'normal' browser Emby GUI.

Compare:

EMBY-browser (Chrome or Edge Chromium)

 

EMBY-Theater:

Notice the bigger font/characters in EMBY-Theater compared with EMBY-browser....

In a browser you could try adding this css under Dashboard > Settings > Custom css, not forgetting to Save.

div.guideProgramNameText {
  font-size: 125%;
}

Works for me, though bear in mind I don't really know what I'm doing and it only works in a browser, not in any app.

Hi.  The solution here is to put the app in TV Mode.  This will give you a 10-foot friendly interface.  The standard browser is designed for close-up.

Ofcourse....Thanks for this tip: thats exactly what I meant and what was intended by the designer: GREAT of Emby !

 

Thanks & best regards,
