This patch changes the number of lines for labels that are displayed in Contents and PVR Browser on the right. Be default the maximum is two lines so if for instance the title of the movie is longer it will be shortened with "...". With this patch you get up to 4 lines Samples usage:

Works perfectly! Good idea, I was bored of incomplete/unreadable titles with many empty remaining room just below

Patching completed!

Yeah my words exactly. In theory I could add some customization to the patch to select how many lines you want (I was thinking of options from 2-5). However this would require partial rewriting of the patch and I think 4 is enough. However I may quite easily change the number of lines to 8 (basically using multiples of 2 is much easier than any other number). Nevertheless for me 4 was enough But I am open for suggestions

From what I tried 4 lines is enough for 99% titles to be displayed entirely, and even if title is still incomplete, it is widely enough to understand what's in.
I'm especially thinking of titles from PVRdecoder such as: From which I could see only date and time before patch!
It would be needed to ask people using long words (such as German) if more lines are necessary

However, seeing that informations below title ((channel)/date/(resolution)/size) are moving up and down according to title length and that there's still empty room below, maybe you could fix more than 4 lines if all room is really available (roughly 8 or even 10 )

works great!

10 is not multiple of 2 :p I can either switch to 8 (a multiple of two) or rewrite the patch to support "any" number... I am also afraid that not in all situations there will so much free space Anyway for now it is as it is. For me 4 is also enough and I don't se a point in changing it. Let's wait for feedback

10 is not a multiple of 2 ??? You probably meant a power of 2...
Allowing custom number would be overkill in my opinion

Yeah, sorry for confusion That's exactly what I meant So 2,4,8,16,etc. are not a problem but any other number would require little work and since I don't see a point (4 is enough for me) I decide it to leave it as it is

I totally agree, just suggesting because you were open to suggestions

hello,
sectroyer, could you share .init file for autostart?
thanks
