How to determine which property file is in use

[dflachbart]

Scenario 1: run the SageTV UI on the server in non-service mode
Scenario 2: run the SageTV UI on the server in service mode

If I read the docs correctly, a call to IsServerUI() from the UI will return true in both cases, and IsClientUI() will return false, right ? So how do I determine whether Sage.properties or SageClient.properties is in use ?


Thanks,

System Info does some things like that... to determine if using service mode, it checks:

If !IsClient() && !IsRemoteUI()
 |- InfoText = "Service Mode: " + If(GetProperty("client","")=="true", "Enabled", "Disabled")

Does that answer your question?

Ah, didn't know about the "client" property... That's going to solve my problem, thanks Andy !

It is obviously a little bit hidden -- I had to ask about that when creating the sys info screen in order to be able to report service mode status.

does anybody have a way through c# to determing if:
1) SageTV is running
2) SageTV is open or in system tray

I've tried various window properties but haven't figure it out yet

Thanks,

Best bet is probably to use FindWindow or EnumWindows to look for a window with the appropriate class and caption. (Use Spy++ to figure out what those might be.)

This won't tell you whether the service is running, just the UI.
