On the details screen where the blurb of info shows up to give the synopsis of what the video episode is about...how to increase this so more information can be read by the viewer? I can fit one line only on the details screen and need more space.

Thank you.

I would like to know the same thing. Maybe a button to press for More Info and a Paragraph screen can show until we click Ok and back to the Play or Resume Buttons. In Videoplayer I would not have a clue yet as it is reading the xml content.

Hi bandal,

I've seen some channels that have a whole paragraph on their details screen. Not sure how they did it. I'll let you know if I find out.

newchannel,

Did you say 1 line in Synopsis? I do get 4 lines before it gives the ... and won't show more. I have other details below that like Rating, Genre, Director, Length.

I have one line that gives info about the show. The page with the "play" button. Is that the "Details" screen?

I think I will try using your posterscreen.brs. I had it and was using another that was provided but can't get the adurl to work on it. Going to try your posterscreen.brs to see how that works for my adurl. Maybe that will fix the ad display situation.

I now have your "detail.screen.brs" and it is working to give me the full paragraph description under each video. So that part is corrected.

Thank you.

Probably some difference in the description type for the screen.

It must have been. Glad to have it showing the video description. Now, to get the adurl's working. Ugghhh...

Thank you for the replies.
