Automatic STVi Generation

[MeInMaui]

Hi,

I just tried using the automatic STVi generation feature to generate the latest version of my Touchscreen Controls import for SageMC. I made all of my edits in SageMC v6.3.7a and generated the STVi without difficulty. I then imported the STVi back into the base v6.3.7a import and it worked properly.

It was just brought to my attention that the version of SageMC that I was using was not actually the very latest version. There was an additional small bugfix release called v6.3.7a-fix. If I try to im[port my STVi into this version of SageMC, it generates lots of errors indicating that the parent widgets in the STV cannot be found.

A little bit of investigation revealed that all of the Widget UIDs in are different between SageMC v6.3.7a and v6.3.7a-fix.

• Is this because both versions were generated in an earlier version of SageTV and get assigned new UIDs the first time they are opened in the latest SageTV beta?
• Is it correct to assume that different UIDs will be generated for every different computer which opens an STV generated with an older version of SageTV?
• If this is the case, will the base SageMC STV have to be redistributed with UIDs already defined in order to lock them in?
• Once the IUDs are generated, I assume that from then on they will remain consistent throughout future updates?

Thanks for any input/insight that can be offered.

Aloha,

Check this post & the ones around it. You'll need to save the STVs in v6.4 to make sure there are consistent UIDs after that.
