Yup, SageMC will run in 4x3. I used it that way for a year until I got my new HDTV.

Nevermind...Once I typed the word remote, I decided to press buttons to see what happens. It appears the Skip Fwd/Bkwd buttons do that!

I see it works in Music for view by album, but not for view by artist. Is that something that could be changed?

Thanks!

Well, I just checked, and it also works in the album detail view by artist. If you select an artist who has 5 albums, it will cycle through those 5 albums. This is the intended behavior, and cannot easily be changed...

I have to use the "info" button on my Harmony to pull up the timebar, but that also pulls up the big info box at the top. I used to be able to hit play during playback and the timebar would pop up for a few seconds. Now when I hit play it seems to randomly jump to some previous portion of the movie and play from there. This isn't a problem if the movie's paused - it works properly and just starts playing again like it should. But if it's in the middle of playing and I hit play, it will jump to another part of the movie.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Hmm, not really. Hitting "Play" while a movie is playing pops up the timebar for me, and works without problems...

Thanks.

It should be the directory where the SageTV executable is in, but since I don't know anything about the Linux version this is just a guess...

Is there any way to get the auto-compress feature working if you are using evilpenguin's video tools?

Not sure if this helps diagnose a little more, but I switched off Dynamic Menus and enabled the My Music Files screen. My Music Files shows album art and allows me to play MP3's fine, however I still cannot play anything or see album art through "My Music".

Still works fine in the default STV. I also tried reinstalling the 6.32c full package, and unfortunately, that did not help.

Thanks!

Here is the log file while using the standard STV... it looks like errors are still encountered, but everything works fine from the end user perspective... the errors also appear to be different.

Dirk

Thank you, worked like a charm. Should be set that way initially

Is there a trick to get sound to work? I enabled it in the SageMC options. I even made sure the sound files are in "C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV3\SageMCE\Sounds" folder. I'm using the iTV theme.

1) Is there still a way to enable "unsupported extras" or is all that included now?

2) I used to see space used for 'each' individual recording in addition to the overall disk usage bar which I still see. How do I get the space used for each individual recording to come back?

3) How do I get pictures next to each menu item now that I have customized the menu?

I am using the latest SageMC 6.3.2c on SageTV v6.1.9.135

FYI,

New releases are available for both the Google Calendar and Toolbar plug-ins.

Working on a on my own SageMC theme, I came across a few visual anomolies.

A) With the logo headings at the top of the menus, a few of them have the text that should be displayed in front of the image, actually placed behind the heading image. These menus are:

1. My TV > Guide
2. My TV > Movies
3. My TV > Schedule
4. My TV > Recorded TV > Schedule

B) The music_logo image does not fly in animated like the rest of them do.
C) The weather_logo image is displayed smaller than the rest of the images... not a big deal, just something I noticed.

Would it be possible to add in the (MC) options menu an option to enable/disable logging. This would than update the properties files (for both service and client)?

It would still require to start/stop sage completely, but would take away the hassle of updating the properties manually.

Minor thing, but would make it easier.

Hi Dirk. I desperately need to have one feature added. Currently, if you set external player for video, it affects all the import types under videos that the seeker finds. I really need to be able to define to not use the external player, but for certain video types (file extensions in the seeker) it WILL use an external player. It would even be better if I could specify what file to use for that file type. What are the chances to get this as I REALLY need it?

[MeInMaui]

For those who just subscribe to this thread, I have posted a new minor update to the toolbar plugin. Here is the announcement in the toolbar thread. Thanks.

Aloha,
Mike

Good point Jan. Should be easy enough to add...

The "unsupported" extras from the default STV are not included in SageMC

2) I used to see space used for 'each' individual recording in addition to the overall disk usage bar which I still see. How do I get the space used for each individual recording to come back?

Press "Info" on the Program Info screen, it cycles through the different info pane views

Focus the menu item, bring up the options menu for the dynamic menus, and select the image you want to use with "Set Icon"

Hmm, no trick necessary... Did you restart the UI after you enabled the sounds ?
