Sage 2.2.8: ExeTunerPlugin no Worky?

[dougrob]

All,

I've read as many posts as I can get my hands on about configuring the ExeTunerPlugin for use with Sage and Girder. Does anyone else have this setup working? This is what I've done:

1) Installed exetunerplugin.dll into the Common folder.
2) Configured my lineup, which was Insight Digital Cable, through the PVR-250 S-Video input
3) Selected ExeTunerPlugin as my tuning device
4) Edited the registry values:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sage\EXETunerPlugin]
"command"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\Calc.exe"

5) Made sure Sage was not running as a service, that I am logged in the machine as an admin, etc.

6) Started Sage

7) Went to program guide and selected any channel

8) At this point, I would expect calc.exe to popup, but nothing happens. I've been fooling around with this for a while, without success.

Could someone please help? From the steps Ilisted above, is there anything you recommend doing differently. FYI, I also tried the EXEMultiTunerPlugin with no success.

Thanks,

You must edit the sage service logon tab to have it "interact with the desktop" for this to work.

or don't use service mode... try this to test it first.

Wheemer,

Originally, I had tried all of what I described with SageTV NOT running as a service.

Also, I will try running Sage as a service with "interact with the desktop" set and report back.

Thanks,

If it didn't work running in normal mode, then it probably won't work in service mode either... Not sure what could be wrong??
