Well, actually I can't see any errors at all... But it seems here you played an MP3 file, whereas in the other case you played a FLAC file. I still doubt that this is related to the issue you are seeing, but can you check if you get those exceptions with FLAC files also in the default STV ?

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?

Hi Madcoder,

I guess it's your lucky day !

I checked the code, and mlbdude must have foreseen this need - there is already an undocumented property in place which achieves exactly what you want:

set e.g.

mlbdude/limit_external_to_extensions=avi

and the external video player will only be called for *.avi files. The value can contain multiple extensions, e.g. avi;wmv

Wow, that was easy! Disk space and images are back.

Do you know if the "unsupported extras" are still available and can they be used with SageMC?

I'm sure I am missing something simple. I chose which icon to set (a png file) and nothing seems to have happened?

No, the unsuppported extras are built into the default UI as some added features.

However, many/most of those unsupported extras are based off of other modifications and many of those extras are included in SageMC. What extras are you wanting in SAgeMC that you don't have? They may already be there, or can be added with an import.

If all you are looking for from the "unsupported extras" is the Malore menus then I wrote a plugin for SageMC for that.

Dirk, have you been paying attention to JREkiwi's Closed Captioning plugin? Could you integrate his newer CC parsing info into SageMC, and enable the alternate Closed Captioning feature into Imported Videos in the same manner that it currently works for Recorded TV?

Thanks, it is hard to see with some of the themes included in your package, but can easily be seen with the graphics from my foofaraw theme, you might want to download it and take a look. Its clearly an issue with the STV though. I tried playing with it in studio, but couldn't figure it out.

My theme if you want to try it:

Interesting... I don't have any files in FLAC format - everything is in MP3.

Hmm, now this is really weird... Here is the exception from your first log file:

Again, I have no idea if this related to your issue at all...

This post is intended for MeInMaui:

Thanks for looking at this log and sorry to post in the primary thread.

See Attached log based on:
debug_msgs=TRUE
tv.sage.mod.0.log

I have attached what I think is the correct file.

Unfortunately that's the wrong one. sagetv_0.txt or sagetvclient_0.txt is the one you need to post...

No, I haven't followed that thread at all. To be honest, I do not use CC, so it's not that interesting for me personally, but I might take a look at it at some point

I did a search for that in my sagetv directory and did not see it??

You have to enable debug logging for the file to be generated.

debug_logging=TRUE

Great.

Now, it looks like you just went into the 'MyTV' screen in the log. I need you to go into the 'My Videos' screen (where your movie library is displayed) and display your videos by genre to see why the genre icons are not appearing. Please do this and post the log file. Thanks.

Aloha,
Mike

Your instructions are what I did (sort-of). I clicked on My TV > Movies > Genres.

I may be misunderstanding the purpose for which Genre icons were created. I do not have any personal videos or a screen called "my videos". I have a "Movies" selection, forth down on the left hand side of the "My TV" screen. When I go there, I click on Genres where I see choices like 'action', 'adventure', 'comedy'. It is those choices that I was under the impression, would have genre icons next to them?

No, that is a list of genres to filter the browsing of upcoming movies. The genre icons are used for your personal video library (videos/movies stored on your hard drive or on DVD via DVD Profiler). This is the only place where the genre icons are presently used.

gotcha... Ok well thanks and sorry for the misunderstanding.
