Hey Nonjon, great to see a separate TV menu! Silly question though, could it be to the right of TV shows?

Not a chance my friend. Live tv is second only to movies in terms of the content I consume so this layout means fewer keystrokes for moi.

Since this is "let's see if it works" stuff, I will assume that skin options for shelf and menu will be done at a later time.

A work-in-progress that's coming along nicely.

What are the number on the TV logos? Mine are channel numbers, but in your screenshot, you have 1.1, where I only have a number without dot.

We have sub-channel numbers stateside - a means of cramming more content into spectrum licensed to a particular broadcaster.

Would it be hard to put the channel name there instead?

Issues abound as I continue experimenting with guide data providers. Some give me a proper channel name (PBS Kids HD) others a station ID (KERADT2); the latter just as unhelpful as a number, imo. We also have some crazy long network names - "The Son Life Broadcasting Network", for example. For now it's channel numbers but that could change.

I like the "liveTV" image for channels without channel logo.

That would not reflect what you watched but what is currently airing. Maybe that's a good thing. Not sure yet. In the future there might be an option to populate with recently recorded content. For now, though, I'm just trying to nail the layout and functionality.

Lastly, I tend to switch off all fan art (against doctor's advice) so I haven't been playing with it much. I switched it on for a while though and noticed that you can see it fine if you select something in the shelf, but not if you have a home screen background selected. I feel that the home screen background is there to have the background not be black if there is no fanart to display, so I was surprised to see the background stay the same after selecting a shelf item. Is that intentional? Again, this is not a feature I really use, just something I'm wondering about.

Agreed. Fanart should override the static BG image. Already on the todo list.
