There never is a "processing" transcoding though...

Clearing out the transcoding/jobs/ entries in the properties file fixed the problem. I guess it got confused where it was supposed to go next, because it said that the next transcoding job was 8, but the next one in the queue was really 5...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, etc....

Same thing happened to me geogecko, there was one job stuck "waiting" and I told Sage to cancel but it did not go away. I ended up shutting everything down then going into the properties file and clearing out all of the job data, which sounds like that is pretty much what you did as well.

Otherwise, loving the new beta. One thing I think a lot of us would like to see would be a way to set "always convert" either for all recordings or maybe even be able to specify by show title or favorite to always convert to a certain format.

4. Fixed bug where video playback would get hosed after playing back an AAC/FLAC audio file and VMR9 was enabled

7. HD airings are now preferred over SD airings when the Scheduler gets to choose between two of them


Where is the dancing in the streets emoticon?

Thanks for the hard work, Sage just got a whole lot better.

Looks like I may have to sit out 6.0.15 until this is added . Do more people need to bug it to get an idea how desired this proptery would be?

I guess I could always just set the stuff I want recorded on SD to only record on those channels though.

this one had me confused too. My next job was 22 but the jobs in the queue started at 15. Thanks for the post otherwise I'd have been looking for days

After several hours of music playing, I haven't heard the MVP beeps at all with 6.0.15, although I was getting them badly in previous 6.0 betas. Thanks for the work on this!

I'm still getting occasional quick pops/snaps during the transition from one song to the next, however. These aren't as objectionable as the bad transition mangling in v5 or the loud beeps heard in earlier v6 betas, but they can still be irritating when listening to quiet easy listening music.

I can understand your frustration on that. The rest of us on the other side that prefered HD had to go through the pains of scheduling HD on HD channels only. I think your suggestions of a property or even an option like someone else mentioned of putting a property in the favorite options would solve it for all of us,

If it were up to me, I'd just let it record everything in HD . Only have one HD source at the moment (firewire capture via Motorola HD box). My real problem is, for whatever reason, I can't transcode stuff from this tuner on a MVP. Skips quite a bit, but I'd have figured a dual 2.8ghz Xeon with 2g of memory would be able to transcode ONE HD stream to a MVP .

I personally could use this on a per favorites basis. Silly me that is where I actually looked for it

I'll reiterate my request for the same. Some shows which may be on an HD channel are not actually HD or I don't care if they record in SD. (Mainly what the wife watches )

Haven't heard any beeps or blips in this version. I thought I heard a snap in one of the mp3 sounds being played, but that could be a separate issue. So good job in fixing the problem, whatever that was causing it.

On another note, will the browsing speed in the media libraries improve? It seems the more songs, pictures, videos, and DVDs get imported, the slower the browsing speed becomes. For me, everytime I open the Music menu, it takes about 5-10 second to load. And then when flipping through the music albums, sometime it stalls for 5-10 seconds as I scroll down to other albums. Will the speed improve as we reach closer to v6 final?

Thanks a lot!

Just wondering if I should reset the registry on all box before taking the upgrade?

Is this beta fixing the issues?

I end up reinstalling xp. I played to much in registry to fix sagetv bugs.

Sorry, still hearing beeps, certainly less frequently though. I can't seem to pinpoint it to a particular tiem interval, function, etc. either.

Lookin good Sage!!

I'm still waiting for a HDD "free space" or "time left" indicator in Recorded TV.

If you are willing to try SageMC 16x9 STV, you'll get that on every menu in Sage!

Well, to be fair, he can also get this with the default STV by enabling the secret UI features ...

I was just plugging...lol.

[mayamaniac]

spoke too soon, I heard some beeps/blips today on the MVP. My guess is that it has something to do with the thumbnail generation feature introduced in SageTV v6. Is there a property to disable the thumbnail generation to test my theory?
