Backward compatibility question

I have a quick question.

If an STV/STVi is edited in Studio under Sage V6, will it still be backward compatible to older versions of Sage if none of the new features/widgets are used? Or is the STV/STVi fundamentally different and not backward compatible no matter what? Thanks.

Mike

No, the v6 STV files are not usable by v5.

And, due to a core change, earlier STVs shouldn't really be used in v6 unless they are updated as mentioned in the Studio forum & in the v6 Studio manual (Chapter 1 lists v6 changes/requirements).

So that means all of us running MC on V6 are breaking the rules!!!

As he mentioned, flachbar heeded the 'rules' way back when it was first posted.

But, if you run into any problems, you really ought to revert back to the default STV (w/o any customizations) before reporting any bugs to SageTV.
