Missing Record Icon in Guide

[hmca]

Shows selected to be recorded should display the red circle in the upper right corner of the Guide program title box. Mine shows the yellow square when the "Record any" icon is selected in Studio but even though the path is correct, the icon refuses to be displayed. Ideas?

I'm not quite following the question. Are you saying the standard STV is malfunctioning, and you're trying to use Studio to diagnose it? Or are you programming your own STV or STVI and can't get custom icons to display properly?

If the former, make sure you haven't accidentally deleted any icons from the SageTV\STVs\SageTV3 folder. If all else fails, maybe a reinstall will fix it. (Be sure to back up your wiz.bin and properties files.)

If the latter, make sure you've double-backslashed your string literals where appropriate. Show us what your code looks like, including property sheet screenshots, and maybe we can give more specific advice.

I am using stock code for the record Icon in a custom STV. Below are screen captures of the Studio Code, UI Components, Program Guide, To Be Recorded Marker and File Select Path.
As you can see, the box placeholder shows up in Studio where it is supposed to appear. And it does not appear in the stock STV either.
Hope this is what you wanted.

It looks like you're specifying the image file path two different ways. You've configured it directly in the Image Source File property of the Image widget, but then you're also passing in an explicit file path from the parent Action widget ("RecordAny.png"). This passed-in path overrides whatever you've configured in the Image widget itself. Since you haven't specified a directory path in the Action widget, and I'm guessing your custom STV is not stored in the same directory as the standard STV and its images, that probably explains why it's not showing up. Since in this case the image you want to display is constant, and not the result of some calculation, my advice would be to get rid of the Action widget and use the internal Image widget properties to specify the image file.

If it doesn't show in the standard STV either, that may be a bug in the standard STV.

That code is from the standard STV & I think it was loaded into the image widget just to test that the thing exists.

Anyway, yes, the issue is that the Studio title bar shows that the STV is not in the same location as the .png file shown in Select File dialog. When just a filename is referenced via the action widget & fed to the image widget, that image needs to be in the same dir as the STV, since the image path will then be relative to the STV's location.

That did it! I was developing from a separate folder and assumed it would follow the path.
