Unable to set FF2 time on client

[Opus4]

This is a strange one... has anyone tried changing the setting for the FF2 time on the client via the property: videoframe/ff_time2?

On the server, I can change every ff/rew/time_scroll setting now that the time scroll property has been restored. Thus ui/time_scroll_amount, videoframe/ff_time, videoframe/ff_time2, videoframe/rew_time, videoframe/rew_time2 all work.

However, on my client, they all work except videoframe/ff_time2 -- I simply cannot get any new value to work for that single property.

I filed a bug for this, but was told they cannot reproduce it. I haven't heard back yet on a follow-up email regarding whether it worked for Frey on the client too, or just the server.

In the meantime... would someone try changing this on a client system (while SageTVClient is exited, of course) to see whether SageTVClient is simply picking on just me?

Hi Andy,

I opened SageClient.Properties and changed the following:

videoframe/ff_time2=150000

to

videoframe/ff_time2=30000

and it worked as expected. Did you upgrade to 2.0.16 and downgrading to 2.0.15 at one point? If you did, you definately want to uninstall completely and reinstall because my client was not feeling well until I did.

Been developing software for 16 years and I am convinced the software has the ability to "pick" on its owner.

Regards,

Mark

Rats... I was afraid it might be just me. I haven't ever downgraded an installation or anything like that. In fact, I had the same exact problem back at the start of Feb -- justme (the forum name) said it worked for him, but we never followed up to see whether he was using the client or server.

I guess I may have to look at a completely new installation of my client...

I wrote a solitaire game quite a few years ago & my father still plays it, complaining that it picks on him... I told him I programmed it specially so that when it sees his name, it deals only 51 cards.

Edit: I even looked in the properties file to make sure it wasn't listed twice or something... just don't know why it would skip _one_ property.

Never mind... it suddenly dawned on me to try this: I exited the client, deleted that one property, started the client, exited the client, noticed the property was replaced, changed it, started the client... and now it accepts my changes for ff2 time!

I have no idea what the problem was... but there is a way to restore a property that doesn't seem to have any effect any more.
