Field Content
Picon The channel's logo
Title The programme title, with the production year in brackets if known
Subtitle The episode title or subtitle
Time Start time and duration in whole minutes
Description The long description. Scrolls with the arrow keys when it is longer than the screen
Picture A picture of the programme, shown if the source has one. It is downloaded on first use and kept in the cache

What you see depends on the source

Not every data source delivers everything:

TV Für Alle TV Movie TV Spielfilm
Description yes no yes (fetched from the programme's page)
Subtitle yes yes yes (from the page)
Year yes yes yes, with country
Picture yes yes yes
Trailer no no when the page has one
NEU badge no no yes

An empty description means the source did not deliver one, not that something failed.

For TV Spielfilm the details are fetched from the programme's own web page when you open the screen (or earlier, in the background, for the programmes visible in the grid).

The trailer

Programmes on TV Spielfilm can have a short video. When there is one, the yellow button is labelled Trailer; otherwise the button is hidden and OK does nothing. The video is played as a stream with the standard Enigma2 movie player, with the info bar switched off. Stopping the player returns you to the details. Only video addresses that end in mp4 are played.

The trailer is a stream, so it needs the Internet connection while it plays.
