Nah, but here's a little hint: something in the TV section ...

I'll be looking for it tonight, if any of you all find it, please post!!!

This is kind of fun...or is it?

Dirk-

Thnaks for the additions...!

I did have one small bug to report, however. In the Movies section, after applying the unwatched filter, I still see movies that have been watched...

Here is a screen cap...

one quick request--in the music section when sorting by artist--can you add the alphabet list when you press right (like you did when sorting by album)?..and Movies now too! Its possible this is already in there because so much has been added recently its hard to keep up....
thanks,

I am having a little problem with the upcoming recording reminder.
When watching a show on a different channel 5 minutes before a recording should start, instead of popping up the menu with the choice of staying on the current channel or changing it, it shows up as a tiny dot in the middle of the screen. If I press up or down on the remote I can see the options but sometimes that dot is not as easy to see depending on what I am watching. Is there any way to make that menu show full instead of the dot? Thanks!

If you "View by Album" / "Sort by Artist" you can use the alphabet list to search on artist name...

By the way, flachbar, the re-threading the music section worked great! I've always had the problem of the very slow pop-up when trying to play music, but it works great now!

Good to hear !

Anybody else having trouble changing aspect ratios?

I've found that switching to 16x9 only seems to work reliably when Full has been selected first. Even then sometime I have to actually use back or the option button before the ratio changes.

This is with 6.8. Doesnt seem to happen with the standard stv.

Yes, but it is still cumbersome to navigate through alot of artists if you have multiple albums for each. A View by Artist alphabet list would be great to ease the search.

Hi jagee23,

did you download version 6.9b ? It includes a fix for the OSD menu problems some were experiencing, maybe your issue is related ...

Hi Jason,

I found what's causing this (it only happens on movies with multiple airings). You can re-download the STV if you want to get rid of the problem.

Maybe I'm not understanding the issue. Aren't you asking for the ability to pull up the alphabet on the right side and use it to search by artist name? If you are, you can do exactly that. If it's something else, I'm not understanding...

I'm probably just not making sense. If you go to the My Music section and view by Artist there is no alphabet on the right side. This is what I would like to see.

I think what you are saying is to view by album, then sort by artist...in which case you can bring up the alphabet on the right side.

Juc

Gotcha. Um, yeah, that's not in there...

Think I found a bug flachbar...

Since downloading 6.9b (not sure about earlier 6.9 builds) I can't seem to use the "Guide" button to pull up the EPG while watching a show (live or recorded). The "Guide" button still jumps to the EPG from every menu I've tried like it should, it just isn't doing anything anymore when I'm watching tv.

I do have the Favorite Channels List plugin installed - don't know if that should make a difference - I've been using it with 6.8 without any problems...

Thanks!

Yes, it is possible that the FCL plugin is causing this (I'm not using it, and the Guide button works fine here). Some of the Themes in 6.9 have been renamed, and I think FCL is using at least one of them. I already emailed Bob about this issue, but he probably just didn't have time to look at it yet ...

I would also love an option like that if there was an alphabet on one of the sides and i could just press X and it automaticlly jumps to x

great work flachbar, couldnt use SageTV without your work!

Yes, I can confirm this error too with the FCL. I also notice that the button to customize the favorites channels under the detailed setup, customize screen is offset incorrectly in the pane on the right side of the screen.
