Guess you missed that: this one has been updated for SageMC 6.3.7 more than a week ago...

Michael,

do you have UAC enabled on your Vista machine ?


Dirk

[mkanet]

That was the first thing I disabled when I installed Vista.

Good...

Are you running Sage as a service too ?

You figured it out! I just tried to use the clone feature and it worked for the first time ever! Thank you!!!

Double confirmed! Works like a champ. Not that I would understand.....but what did you do to make it work?

For the clone functionality the java code has to access the property file directly, and it was using the API 'IsServerUI()' to determine whether to access Sage.properties or SageClient.properties. As it turns out, it does return 'true' in both cases - running service and non-service mode. But with Andy's help I found a way to distinguish between both modes, and now the JAR is accessing the correct file...

Glad it works now for you guys !

Now I can really start to play with the layouts! Thanks a million. Don't forget to update the downloads

Is there any way to have only the "MyTV" part of the menus? I have no need for the main menu as is....just the tv screen. I see I can remove menu items by right-clicking and going through those options and even move them up and down but I don't see a way to just get rid of the entire main menu and launch in the mytv menu.

Any input on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm updating my personal theme in SageMC 6.3.7a and have run into a strange problem.

In many of my submenus, the focused buttons are rendering behind the nofocus buttons

Either I found a bug, or have some obscure setting messed up...

Any input from the gurus would be appreciated.

I am finding the same issue--especially in the music library.

I am having 1 issue that I can't figure out tho...

Comskip has stopped working!! Cursor Comskip still works, the bar is there & you can see the commercial breaks, but automatic comskip simply will not work!

Any update on this? I'm running SageTV 6.3.10 with SageMC 6.3.7 and I'm also seeing this problem (just got the HD100 yesterday). Shows are marked, and pressing "right" skips the commercial, but the system doesn't automatically skip the commercial.

There's a setting in SageMC settings to turn auto-commercial-skip on and off. You might check to see that this setting is set to on.

You also have to make sure if the show is a favorite, that in it's settings it is not set to disable comskip.

For now I just made all of my nofocus buttons transparent (empty). Looks clean, but is a little weird on busy screens.

First noticed it when I was using low alpha nofocus button images, and saw varying degrees of brightness on the focus button when navigating. Turned out I was looking "though a nofocus button darkly".
