This is the first time any kind of upgrade in SageTV has cause sound to break completely.

I have windows system sounds..

1. so the issue goes away if you disable the multispeed option ?
2. if you import Mike's multispeed import into SageMC 6.3.5, do you see the same problem ?

If the configuration would be under SageMC settings you would not be able to interactively move/resize the main menu components. I think it also makes it much easier to check out the effect of the various other settings immediately. Maybe Mike will comment on this more...

in the main menu options menu, select 'Customize Screen Layout'
select main menu 'Customize', and select 'Menu style' 'Icons'
back in 'Customize Screen Layout', disable 'Title Graphic' (checkbox)
in the Customization of the weather panel, select 'Forecast'

That'll probably take a lot of convincing power...

Silly question, how do i get to the main menu options menu using a remote? For the life of me, I can't figure this out.

You have to assign a remote control button to the 'Options' command.

Aloha,

The screen is all black except for the date, time and temperature outside. I tried searching for this problem but it hasn't come up. Can someone help me?

Did you try to shut down sage completely, meaning the interface and the service before changing the stv or installing any new components, also make sure that when you unzip the stv package that you maintain the same file structure you have in sage

I have windows system sounds..

The best I can suggest is enable debug logging as per flachbar's signature and then reproduce the sound loss problem. Post the log file and maybe it will help us figure it out.

Can I assume that the foofaraw them will still work with the latest version of sageMC?

Definitely.

By default everything should look the same as it always has. The new main menu features just allow you lots of flexibility for customization.

Aloha,
Mike

I got the options figured out. Thank you for the help with that.

Is anyone else's commercial skip turning off after each show even though it is enabled in the sage mc/enhancments/comskip settings?

If I don't get that fixed soon, I am going to try and revert back to an earlier version of Sagemc.

mkanet · #**5112** 12-16-2007, 12:46 PM

I fixed my FF/Rew problem... I had unregistered ac3filter.ax and forgot I did that

mkanet · #**5113** 12-16-2007, 12:49 PM

Two remaining issues:

1) IMDB picture for movies will not show the first time you look up detailed info... you get a blue down arrow.. then nothing. If you exit and go back into details.. the picture shows up.

2) Something needs to be done about the new WIDE margins in the Guide. The TV preview window does not line up with the left margin anymore and doesnt look too good. I personally prefer having the margins back to the way they were.

toricred · #**5114** 12-16-2007, 12:56 PM

Your sample screens look great for 6.3.6. Thanks for that. Two questions.

1. How do I get the main menu to look like your sample (With the icons as buttons and small text describing them)?

2. I'm using this on an HD Extender and I can't seem to get some of the imports (specifically EP's video tools) to show up after importing. Any suggestions?

toricred · #**5115** 12-16-2007, 01:45 PM

Never mind, I got it by making the changes on the server. How do I add icons for new menu items on the main menu?

mkanet · #**5116** 12-16-2007, 02:14 PM

Okay, I'm able to change the colors pretty easily in the theme.properties. However, I have a problem I can't fix. Before this release, the default color to non-specified show was a pleasant blue color. Now, the default is this awful grey color. How do I change the color it defaults to; or at least set it to default what it used to be?

Add this to your theme.properties file:

Code:


Color/GuideAiringBGDefault=0x2156A6

Okay, first of all, this is awesome, guys. Thank you so freaking much.

One request, is there any way to add the current temperature to the forecast option for the weather bar? It is nice to be able to see the forecast for a few days ahead, but also know what the current temperature is outside.

So glad we can rearrange stuff now...

Did I say thanks yet?

Well, off to do Christmas shopping now...

geogecko · #**5119** 12-16-2007, 02:25 PM

One other question.

On the Main Menu Icons, Selection Bar, when it says Main Menu, how do you know what is selected, other than seeing the animation? I like the clean look of not having the folder selections, but it would be nice if the current selection was highlighted, unless I'm not seeing something since I'm using VNC...

I'll look into it for the next version. I just don't want the weather display getting too cluttered. It's already borderline in that view.
