Frontpage suggestions #23

Hi. First of all, I would like to "say" thank you for your work. Blocked channels no longer appear in the "Recommended Live Channels" list, but they leave an empty space in the live channels list (See Attachement)

Would an additional function be possible to block streams directly in the "carousel" and in the "Recommended Live Channels" list?

Hi sKippah, thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately you probably won't like my answers regarding this topic:

but they leave an empty space in the live channels list

Yes, and there are two reasons why this is actually intended:

  1. The listings on the frontpage/discovery don't fill up items like the category/channel pages. Even without the gaps, there would be no new items to show.
  2. The items in the listing are in a flex container that fill up the available width. Removing the items from view causes the remaining items to enlarge/zoom, which looks horrible and wastes height. [before] [after] (mild example, it can look worse on wider viewports)

block streams directly in the "carousel" and in the "Recommended Live Channels" list

Tricky. Touching the carousel is a safe way to completely break the frontpage. I tried that, didn't go well. Adding block options (the X) is doable, but that also means more stuff to maintain. I currently don't have any plans to do that.
