Check you mymoviesshares\posters to see if you are getting any yet. Also forcing a library scan will trigger them to start after import is done.

It's been a long time. Nothing is running. Lets see if my folders are correct. I have:
ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/Backdrops -- Empty
ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/Covers --- Populated
ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/Photos --- Populated

ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/SageTV/Backdrops --- Empty
ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/SageTV/Covers --- Populated
ProgramData/My Movies/FileStorage/SageTV/Posters --- Empty

Does this look correct?

Hi Plucky another great plugin. Thanks.

I have a few issues I have found with the plugin, I was going to submit them as a bug on your bug list howvere I and also beleive others will not add them there for the reason being that you need a google email account to put them on.

So isntead I will list them here hoping that you will be able to have a look.

I have two problesm on the lsit view screen which I beleive are probbaly related. If the text for a movie is long and wider than the list when highlighted it scrolls which is nice. however if you have more than 1 of these long Title movies on the list that is viewable on the screen. and you highlight one then all of the Long titles start scrolling not jsut the one highlighted and the text size for all the titles even those which are not longer than the width of the lsit change to the highlighted size.


Second issue is I have gaps on my lsit for no apprent reason. I can see the gaps on the other views as well where there will be no cover. It is listing lal my movies however. I think the gaps are related to movie titles that are long for some reason.

Thanks for the work is starting to look good. Will be nice when complete.

Yes expect I think posters should be there as I don't believe they require any points .
Could you force a fanart refresh by going to options fanart and hit search for missing fanart. See you get any posters doing that.

Who says it's not nice now?

1. I cannot reproduce this no matter how hard I try. They never all grow unless it is grabbing focus somewhere it shouldn't

2. There are purposely placed blank spots if show sort view is on or if at end or start o movies. I would need to see a screenshot.

All that being said I thinktou have a corrupted datafile. Try rebuilding the database file and exiting and reentering smm.
Screenshot of what you are talking about.

Did the Fanart refresh. Nothing seemed to run and nothing showed up. Could this be a problem with MyMovies? Are the items under the SageTV section just a copy of the MyMovies section? I could just wait until Phoenix works with it since I have backgrounds and posters for all the movies there.

Thanks Plucky I rebuilt the database file and its all sorted now. And the MyMovies plugin is super nice now, what I am saying though is once the search functionality and other things that are not fully implemented now are implemented it will be super super nice. Thanks for all your work.

This takes a little bit of time. If you come back later, it will all be fixed. Sage library scans are on a scheduled interval and theDatabase is also updated on a set or triggered interval.

Hey Plucky and Peter,

I added a movie like I mentioned I would yesterday and waited about 13 hours. Sage My Movies still had only a blank space where the movie should be. Under the My Movies Database option I saw "LastScan" so I clicked on it thinking I might see a date/time but all that happened was the circle of death spun for a couple seconds. I then selected the scan option and told it to leave the window up until the scan was complete. This took a minute or two and then when the window went away I went out of My Movies then back into it and the movies DID show up correctly I selected "LastScan" again and same thing... circle of death then nothing happened.

It seems like the automatic scan every two hours isn't happening. If you'd like me to look at some setting, just let me know.

Thanks!

The automatic scan will only happen if you are running the service or on startup of sagetv not running the service. It is not automatic if the service is not running.

LastScan needs to be removed and will be from the next menu you can check the last scan date from the information screen.

When I press play, it does nothing - I cannot get any movie to play. Using MM on WHS through HD200 extender. I have sent you the log files.

Also, I cannot figure out how to turn off poster fade:

- This is found under Options -> Custom -> Fade Posters In (turn this off/Grey)

But I do not see the "Fade Posters In" option.
I only see:
Delay Fade Out (toggle)
Background (toggle)
Background Transparency Level (adjust level)
Fade In Delay (adjust time in ms)

There is no selection to turn off/grey for Posters - only a selection to adjust the time until fade in delay. Please tell me how to turn this off so that I can have optimal use through HD200.

Thanks so much for this great interface.

Gotcha on all accounts. Another one of those non service running things that got me. LOL

Thanks!

Just run the service... its the right way to do things...

Correct I am surprised so many don't I was under the understanding tv doesn't record if service isn't running and sagetv is shutdown.

So many new plugins fire off listeners that just work better and more automatic if the service is running. otherwise all the those plugins will fire on start of sagetv which can make startup slow.

What view are you using? In wall view poster fade should be there. You don't really turn it off you just turn it all the way up so there is no fade. Now, if the option isn't there that is another story.

Agreed. Solves lots of problems.

Where did you do the fanart refresh? I always go to CM and then options, metadata and tell cm to update all content. CM will then grab all posters, backgrounds, and covers based on what points you have. If you don't have enough points for either posters or backgrounds you can manually add backgrounds to each movie folder until phoenix is supported. I'd just contribute info so it automatically downloads the backgrounds.

I have an option in SMM to do this as well It only looks for missing posters and fanart though.

Will do. I was running Sage in non service mode as an "old habit" because there was something that didn't work right in service mode when I first started using Sage many years ago. I don't even remember what it was now but it's obvious those issues have been ironed out. So, I'll start using Service mode... I just never had any issues NOT using service mode (until recently with some of these plugins) so didn't see the need to change something that didn't seem broken. But, you guys have convinced me it is time to get out of the stone age

[jptheripper]

I second this, converting to service mode fixed almost everyone of my problems.
