Split personalities and Sage TV on the Mac

[feamster]

Ok, it seems that the Sage TV client is confused about his role. He reminds me of Sage TV Media center in that there is a service you can start. But he doesn't recognize one PC Sage TV server and the other PC server which he recognizes will only display the selected shows as a black screen. Are the clients and mediacenters for the mac the same product? Mac place shifter works with both servers just fine. Why isn't the client displaying anything. I have another product that uses ffmpeg. Is there a conflict there? The install seemed to go ok. Is there a fundamental incompatibility between the mac and PC versions?

Thanks

Did you ever get a response to your question?

I recently downloaded the Mac client to use on an iMac in my daughter's room with a Windows SageTV server in the living room... unfortunately, all I get is a black screen for playblack. Looking at the network activity, I noticed that nothing is being transfered.

I then installed it on my Mac Book Pro and it works fine. I haven't a clue as to what I did differently. Reinstalling on the iMac makes no difference, even when I go to the trouble of removing all the stuff littered in the /Library directory that was installed by Sage...

What kind of iMac does your daughter have?
