Guide Call Sign

#1

Post by mldenison » Mon Jun 25, 2018 12:11 pm

I'd noticed this in previous versions using EPG123 Client.

When I use the EPG123 Client to tweak WMC for the Guide appearance, it removes the Callsigns for all channels. What's left is the station number on the left in the cell and the station logo.

I have use My Channel Logos to get it back. Then, if I try to readjust using the client, I again lose the Callsigns.

Should there be checkbox to display or remove the callsigns?

Thanks

This is how WMC natively works. It is an either/or for callsign or logo. MCL will change that to show both regardless and is not something I have coded to do in EPG123. The algorithm gets a bit more complicated if I add the ability to show both... and then there will be the call to adjust the widths of the callsign area & change the order of all three viewables (number, callsign, logo) just like MCL.

EDIT: I want to more accurately convey what WMC natively does. WMC will check to see if a logo is assigned to a channel... if a logo is assigned then the call sign is hidden, if no logo is assigned then the call sign is visible. MCL bypasses that check so the callsign is always visible... and then spaces things out so the logo doesn't cover the callsign.
