Plugin: Sage Recording Extender (SREv3)

Is this version supposed to display version 3 in the web interface? I did as you said and it's displaying version 2 still in the web interface

You should be getting a v3 web interface and it should look drastically different. It should look like the screen shot that's available via the plugin manager. You may have to clear your browser cache in order to see it load properly.

I still don't think it's installing properly. It's still pulling up the old version.

When I go to <server>:<jettyport>/sre it redirects to sre/sreClient.html. It does not redirect to the new sre/sre3.html. If I try to go directly to sre/sre3.html I get

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /sre/SRE3.html. Reason:

    NOT_FOUND

The plugin is still showing failed in the plugin manager.

The exact steps to manually move the sjqsqlite file were as follows.\
I shut down the sagetv service, moved sjq.sqlite to the plugins/sre folder, and then restarted the service.

For whatever reason, SRE doesn't have permission to or is unable to delete the sre.sqlite file in SageTV\ after it copies it to the new location. If you're running Vista or Win7 then this is probably a UAC problem of some sort, so please let me know what version of Windows you're running.

The easiest way to work around this in the mean time is to stop Sage, go to SageTV\plugins\sre and ensure that sre.sqlite has already been copied there. If it hasn't then copy the file from SageTV\ to that location then delete (or rename) the original in SageTV\ then restart Sage. Renaming or deleting the sre.sqlite file in SageTV\ will allow the SRE startup to skip that step and move on.

I'm running WinXP.

Ok... it seems like maybe what's happening is that SREv2 is being loaded by Jetty before SREv3 can replace it and upgrade. Follow these steps:

* Stop Sage
* Ensure that SageTV\plugins\sre\ contains sre.war and sre.context.xml
* If necessary, copy SageTV\sre.sqlite to SageTV\plugins\sre\sre.sqlite
* Delete SageTV\sre.sqlite
* Delete SageTV\jetty\webapps\sre.war
* Delete SageTV\jetty\contexts\sre.context.xml

If the last two files don't exist for some reason then you'll have to enable Sage debug logging and look for why the plugin startup is failing. If they do exist then my theory seems correct and these steps should allow SREv3 to startup properly.

That worked, thanks!

[Sparhawk6]

Worked for me as well. Thanks.

not a biggie.

i see yellow triangles (look like caution signs) on all the MLB baseball games currently in my schedule, and presumably to be monitored by SRE.
is that the meaning you intended (to be monitored by SRE)?

if so, the yellow caution sign sort of gives more of a warning look to things than a 'SRE will do your bidding' in the future.

I assume we're talking about games scheduled into the future (i.e. not today)? In this case, SRE is unable to verify that the game can actually be monitored so you get a warning symbol. The issue: livepvrdata is currently using espn.com Bottom Line feed, which only serves the current day so when SRE asks livepvrdata about those future games it gets an error in return. It's a warning because it's unknown. On the day of the game, it'll change to a check or an error.

I expect livepvrdata.com to move to a different feed in the future that will support future date lookups and if/when they do then SRE will automatically handle it as expected.

Ok, so the requirement is that SREv2 (or older) must be uninstalled before installing SREv3. I'll be sure to add that to the docs when I get to them.

The thought of even trying to figure that out is hurting my head! Consider yourself lucky.

[cat6man]

one more question, in the same category of 'not a biggie'

is there any reason to keep non-sports events monitored?
any reasons pro or con?

For support of future feature(s). Please don't ask what they are.

[cat6man]

i think i can guess.............any games where the yankees are beating up on either the red sox or blue jays, you can have SRE eliminate those innings from the game!

very cool

Note: I had problems initially with getting SRE to install on v7 on WHS. I had to uninstall v7, manually remove all plugins, re-install v7, remove plugins, re-install plugs. I can get to the web interface, but all monitored airings have yellow triangles, even on the date of airings. Below is a snippet of log when one of the airings occurs. Any ideas or help?

Please update to the latest version. I suspect those kinds of problems have been fixed. If not, then send me logs after you've upgrade and reproduced.

[gopher]

That worked. I updated other components, but must have missed the SRE update. Thanks.

Hi Slugger,

Just upgraded to the new v3 tonight. I'm a bit confused on the "status" column in the Web UI. It's currently showing a yellow triangle for tonight's Red Sox game (which I am guessing would mean there was some kind of error/warning while trying to monitor the event). However, SRE appears to be extending the event with no trouble. The broadcast ended at 10PM, but SRE is extended the recording as we speak.

So, everything appears to be working great (), but I'm a bit confused on the yellow triangle in the status.

Am I missing something?

Thanks as always for all of your hard work!

[Slugger]

Have a look in SageTV/plugins/sre/sre.log for details on what's going on. If it's a warning symbol then it means it's probably not able to monitor the game and so it just applied the default padding to the recording. Most likely cause is a Google auth problem, but that log file will tell you more.

Sorry should've mentioned that in my earlier post... the log looks just fine (and the recording just automatically ended about 1-2 minutes after the end of the game)
