That did it.

Thank you

I tried it with the default STV which allowed me to "play" the .JPG and it turned out to be currupt picture files embeded with video. A while back after some HD trouble, Windows fdisk fix utility screwed up alot of .mp3's and other documents buy mixing up their content.

Yep, that fixed it. Again with Windows.... the Thumbs.db I was looking at in Explorer wasn't updated after the new IMDB pics were imported. Thanks for all the help Dirk. Great work with SageMC!

Dirk,

Thx, that did it! I should more often enter those option menu's

Having a bit of an issue, I have SageTV set to start in the system tray on windows start up, with SageMC loaded it always starts in full screen mode.

Anyone know what might be preventing me from changing themes? On my server and on my MVP, I can go into the setup and change the theme, choose to restart the UI, but it always comes back up with the same theme. Any idea what might be causing this?

Hate to reply to myself, but I got it fixed. I don't know what caused this, but something had a hold of the Images directory, so it couldn't be renamed. I happened to try to rename it myself manually and got an error that something was using it. A reboot solved it.

I have another question though. I was editing the menu with my MVP remote and couldn't figure out how to type capital letters. Is this a known feature or did I just miss something?

The 'Guide' button switches between upper and lowercase.

Dirk,

Very nice, looks like it was maybe inspired by the mouse menus in MCE (although I must say, I like the format and look of this one much better ).

The toolbar is normally hidden at the top of the screen and rolls out when the top edge of the screen is clicked or the toolbar is focused by keyboard/remote. This is not just photoshopped. Everything you see is operational and all of the graphics are original (except the weather icons). I hope to have it available either in one of the next SageMC releases or as a separate import when it is ready. As of now I only have it in the main menu, but I plan on making it available in all screens. I may still change the layout but this gives an idea of one of the things I've been working on. Hopefully someone will find it useful.

Aloha,
Mike

Thanks for the comments.

Here is a quick update. After some serious tinkering, I have the toolbar working with mouse rollover support. I'll be adding volume control buttons in addition to the existing mute button and probably a pulldown favorites menu of some sort (if I can figure out how to do it ). That should round out the basic functionality. I'll probably also supply some optional alternate toolbar backgrounds in different colors. All of the graphics used are .png files, so the adventurous soul could completely customize the look with a replacement background and icons.

Aloha,
Mike

The next version will be just a minor update release with bugfixes and some new smaller but neat features, though nothing world-shaking...

Wait a minute....should I take that as some sort of left handed complement?
(No offense to any lefties out there)

Hi kricker! How've you been?

BTW, just in case anyone cares. Kricker is the graphics guru who taught me everything I know about Photoshop. It took all of about 5 minutes.
(and just in case it wasn't clear, that was a self-deprecating joke)

Aloha,
Mike

Hi kricker! How've you been?

I've been REALLY BUSY! Good for the checkbook, bad for my sanity.

Not a left handed complement, I just like to play I let you and Dirk do all the heavy lifting. Maybe one day I'll realease a graphics pack as well.

ok I know this has probably been addressed somewhere in this thread and I used to have it working, but I can't for the life of me figure out why my winamp visualizations don't work anymore. I haven't changed anything just regular upgrades up till now, no setting changes or anything, the winamp vis just doesn't come up any more. please help

I've noticed it being flaky lately as well, but haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing the problem. For me, on a fresh reboot, it works, but after some point, it stops working...

Anyone notice that the IMDB has quit working again?
(or not bringing in all the info)

I noticed Nielm has new files out to correct the problem but was not sure if I could just copy his updated jars etc into my folders??!

I was not sure if I should post this in the thread or not so forgive me if this is the wrong place.

When using playlists in the music mode, the previous and next buttons do not work. Only the FF and RW. Also the wrong buttons are used. instead of << or >> performing RW and FF the |<< and >>| perform RW and FF the << and >> do nothing. Usally the |<< and >>| skip sons like chapters in a movie.

I am using the latest 19x9 dev build an an MVP. Alos Sage 6.0.19.

SageMCE is awesome thank you for all of your hard work. It really is appreciated.

Thanks,
Skybolt.
