STV: SageMC 16x9 Version 6.x (latest dev build)

[Jesse]

Hi,

Thanks for the help guys. I will just backup the whole sage folder and install on top of what is there.

Hopefully get it done tonight if I can get the boys in bed on time.

Make sure and accept all file overwrites when extracting the zip file. This will ensure you get the latest version of all files.

Must be doing something wrong, but, when I try to set the directory for DVDProfiler collection, there is no option to "select current" for the dir. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I added this to the main menu for something I was working on a few months back. I'll dig it up and send it to flachbar to see if there is anything he can do with it. Hopefully I'll have a chance tonight.

yup--same here. You can just go in and add the line manually to the properties file.

Thanks Mike, that is great!

I agree with you--especially since I think this is about the only availabe corner left!! I think is could be very subtle, almost transparent so that you can read it when looking for it, but it isn't distracting.

Something larger than 16x16 would be a big help for those 1920x1080 desktops! Maybe something on the order of the playlist_up and down images which I think are about 36x36?

Kirby,

See if these work for you.
(They are 30x30, but I can make them up to 60x60 if these are still too small.)

Aloha,
Mike

An option like the Diskbar would be cool, and yes, transparent rules.

So, you could have it enabled all the time, like the Diskbar, or disable it, and then when you hit the info button on the Main Menu, you see the Diskbar and weather status for a few seconds...

Size is great...but something is messed up using these. Maybe because I am using the iTV theme? Ohh I see the problem, the zip only has the no-focus icons...focus icons are still tiny!

Sooooooooo, are we getting Glassy Arrows now?

Oops, sorry. It was late last night when I did those. I'll have a look at the focus icons as soon as I get the chance.

As far as glassy arrows go, I can certainly provide alternate colors for the ones I just posted (plus the focus icons when done), but I'm not sure what else I could do with them besides add a little transparency. I'm all ears if you have any suggestions.

Where is the itv theme?

It's under Downloads > STVi Imports.

Thanks, I've been away quite a bit lately and have lost track of things.

No problem, I was just teasing about the glassy arrows. They arent big enough on the screen to worry about IMO. What I really want (besides the larger focus icons when you have time) are a few things in iTV (which I will post in that thread).

Does anyone else have problems with back to back recordings? For some reason I get a conflict on every back to back recording that I schedule, unless there is another free tuner. I have the padding set to 5 min on either side, and I have the issue regardless of whether standard conflict mng is enabled on not. I have the issue with both v5 and the v6beta.

Any ideas?

Is it back-to-back on the SAME channel?

Sage will not remove padding from back-to-back recordings on different channels, only on the same channel, so you will get conflicts if this is what is happening.

I have to double check sometimes, but I always find that it's between channels...

If they are on the same channel, try 'remove padding on back to back favorites'. It's under detailed setup, but I forget exactly where. When this is enabled the padding will be removed if you have two favorites scheduled to be recorded back to back on the same channel.

Oh, yeah, that too!

Kirby,

Check these ones out. I made up a set for BlueTwo and an alternate set for iTV. There is a shortened selection bar for you too.

Mike

P.S. Morgan, feel free to include any of these in the iTV theme if you like.
