STV: SageMC 16x9 Version 6.x (latest dev build)

[Brent]

Bill,
Are you using the latest version of SageTV 6.3.7? (not SageMC). Reason I ask is I couldn't get it to import until I upgraded to SageTV 6.3.7.

Same thing here. Export/import doesnt work for me. I can save a layout file. I can try to import the one I just saved (or even an example)... Ill get the warning that my existing layout will change... and it does nothing.

Is there steps I may have missed?

Thank you for the quick replies!
Bill

Although it's a good idea to upgrade to SageTV 6.3.7 anyway (we'll update the animations in the next minor release to be interruptable, which is a new 6.3.7 feature), I can definitely confirm that SageMC 6.3.7 works fine with SageTV 6.3.5. I have tested this with a SageTV 6.3.5 install in a MS Virtual PC VM, importing and exporting of layouts works without problem. There must be something else in your environments that is causing these issues. But if upgrading to 6.3.7 solves the problem, the better !

Upgrading to SageTV 6.3.7 RC didn't work for me. Must be something else preventing the import of layouts.

Does the layout import require certain theme to be install or it should have worked with any themes you selected in the theme setup?

Right now I have Theme BlueTwo selected and I am trying to get it verticial or circle layout icons. When I selected "Icon Fixed" for main meun instead of text it shows a circle but it looked real distorted on my screen and icon overlapping on the right side.

Is the example layout only work for 16:9 HDTV screen or it should have worked on 4:3 SDTV

This is a clean SageTV install with only SageMC installed on it.

Any idea?

I just tried to clone the main menu to the submenu and nothing happens. I even closed and restarted the Sage UI.

[mkanet]

Upgrading to the latest SageTV 6.3.7 did not fix the export/import of layouts problem.. It still does the same thing.. nothing.

[kricker]

I am really liking these new enhancement to the customization. There is a lot to play with.

I did find an oddity though. When on a sub-menu screen, pressing left from any focused item other than the menu icons causes the screen to jump back to the main menu.

Help!

I'm not sure if this is related to a recent install of Sage, the latest release of sagemc or me being blind but I can't work out where to turn off the damned stop dialog. I'm sure there was a menu option to disable this. Please tell me I'm being dense and that it's staring me in the face.

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure how I kept missing it

Mike there seems to be a small visual glitch with Fixed Focus/ FreeForm. Animation is very smooth going clockwise. But...

Counter-clockwise there's a problem with the icon all the way to the left.

Nice improvements.

Just somthing I noticed with the weather bare. If I select the Forecast I dont get a graphic (cloudy, snow, sunny ect) anybody else get this?

Hi everyone! Havent been using SageMC in a while, and have since changed platforms for my server (now its on a MAC) and I dont think I can use the latest SageMC right? Because of the lack of Java 6. Or will it work on Java 5? I can "get" Java 6, although its not a released version, and not for public use, so I am a bit hesitant to install it if I dont need it.

By the way, the latest version looks sick!

Kirby, it should work fine with Java 1.5. But I have no idea if there any problems running it on a Mac, since we don't have any way to test that...

Should work with any theme. But did you try the default theme ?

4:3 shouldn't matter

This is a clean SageTV install with only SageMC installed on it.

Any idea?

Any errors in the log file ?

"Grouped" is my default view, and I have never seen this issue. Everything is sorted correctly, and setting shows to watched doesn't affect the order either. Do yo see any errors in the debug log ?

2. I cant turn off the core animation in Sage without loosing all animation in the STV. I find the slow change between menu items very annoying as I often overshoot. It also takes much longer to get anywhere.

Sorry, but this is intended, we moved all animations over to core animations. We couldn't see any difference in speed between the built-in animations and the old style ones.
