How do I do these things that SageTV can already do?

[S_M_E]

I don't know of this has been suggested already but:

1) When using sagetv client, a checkbox option to "remember this server" so it doesn't ask which sagetv server every time the computer boots up and the client starts, especially when there's only one server.
(there is a "-connect hostname" commandline option but when added to the HKCU registry key it deletes that option at the next startup, so that only works once)

2) When right clicking the title bar of the client (or server) there are 3 options: Video Always on Top, 640x480 and 320x200. Adding more options (up to1900x1200) for high resolutions or autoresize depending on source would be nice...

SageTV Manual page 17.

you may wish to configure SageTV Client to automatically connect to the server on its own. To do that, from the Main Menu of SageTV Client, select Setup, then select Detailed Setup, choose the General tab, and select the button next to Automatically Connect to Server. That option will then change from displaying No to displaying the name or IP address of the
server, which you previously entered when SageTV client was started.


I always forget to set this, and when I do remember it takes me ages to find it.

Chage the quick_menu_sizes property.

Thanks, I never noticed that before...

That's better than nothing but It'd still be nice to have the sage window auto-resize depending on the source.

These are what I now use: quick_menu_sizes=1280x720,890x500,848x480,640x480,320x240

Thanks...
