That's true. I guess a smallish button with a down arrow could be fit in there easily enough. I'll see if I can make that work after I get all of the basics hammered out.

I'm having a couple issues under 'My Videos' on SageTV Client v6.0.19 running SageMC v6.3.1.

1. A few of my pictures folders/files are showing up under "My Videos". Though '\\Server\My Pictures' has many many more folders/files than are showing up, only these few are being displayed. I checked the properties for these particular folders and files, and they match the others.

2. I have my DVD library backed up and is working great under "My Videos" usind IMDB search & save video info. However, occassionally I get a DVD cover that is incorrect or dont like. Is there anyway to default back to use 'folder.jpg' after the IMDB info has been saved?

3. The majority of my DVDs are backed up to '\\Server\DVDs' and show up, but part of my DVD library is backed up to '\\Client\DVDs' and they are not showing up in "My Videos". A similar post, http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...ght=video+menu has a few suggestions I've tried. Is this the same SageTV issue that will be resolved in v6.1?

I am using UNC paths on both my Server and Client. Thanks!

If you are running sage in service mode on your server, try logging in to the same account you are running the service under. I found I had to do this to get an imported video share on my client to show up. I had essentially the exact same situation you are describing. HTH

Aloha,

It's sounds this should be it. But... on the servers SageTV service control, it needs a password for .\Mike I get the error "Accounts with black passwords may not be used for service logon. Please set a password for this account."

I do not have a password for this account so that on bootup it automatically starts Windows and the startup programs/services. I primarily need RealVNC Server (service) to start so I get a GUI on my Workstation\Client computer. My server does not have monitor/keyboard/mouse.

Is there a way to set a password for .\Mike and still start Windows without a login\password?

Try TweakUI from the 'XP Powertoys', it lets you configure an auto-login. I use it on all of my XP boxes

Yeah what he said.

You can download TweakUI here. This is how I have all my computers set up as well.

Does anybody else have a sage logo screen saver with the word "Untitled" fixed at bottom of the screen.

This is with SageTV 6.0.19 and SageMC 6.3.2

Thanks MeInMaui & Flachbar, that fixed it and working great! Any ideas on the other two issues?

Or else, at a DOS prompt, just type control userpasswords2 and uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". When you OK or Apply, windows will prompt for a default username/password to start up the computer.

Well sure. You could do that too if you wanted to make it look like you know what you're doing.

That is the ticker, which I assume you don't have any feed set up for. You can go into the ticker options (I think that's where it is) and turn off the ticker in the screensaver.

That's what I did!

Mike, that looks nice. So, you really were working on something, huh? LOL!

Can't wait to see a full version available.

LOL, now theres a 6.1.3RC available (it appears I've missed all the most recent betas...they just updated the beta thread for .3, and not any of the previous ones from 6.0.19...)? Almost makes me wish I didn't have a new table saw and dovetail jig to put together...not! (Can you still use that terminology, or does that date me?)

Thanks Jason.

That's not the only thing. I've only been working on the toolbar for about a week. The project Dirk and I vaguely alluded to before has been in the works for almost two months.

Don't worry. I'm not slacking.

BTW, I started to do those webserver icons, but I didn't like the look of some of the new ones. I'll get back to them before too long.

Aloha,
Mike

[geogecko]

No rush. Would like to see what's taking 2 months!

Lots and lots of mistakes on my part, that's what.

[toricred]

I know this may be premature, but are you going to be adjusting MC to use the new logo and waiting icons from 6.1.x?

I've been toying around with the interface and here's what I've got. I haven't been following the thread lately and don't know who's working on SageMC. Does this interest anyone?

Love the fading of the menu items! -7? Really? And we thought 16F here this morning was bad!

I like the fade and adjusted spacing on the menu.
