dflachbart Tweaks plugin - Show encoder markers

[mkanet]

Has anyone tried the dflachbart Tweaks plugin's Show encoder markers. Anyone that's been spoiled by SageMC's interface, knows of SageTV 7 STV's lack of encoder/tuner number icons.

I was excited to try this plugin; however, I can only get two TV recordings to display the tuner icon. I can't find anything unique in the two recordings that show the encoder icons verses the other 50 recordings. I have tried disabling all UI related plugins and record on various tuners. But, I can't get them to display the tuner icon.

I thought maybe someone has tried this plugin; and, might know why almost all recordings dont show encoder icons.

This is what it's supposed to look like below:


This is what it looks like for all other recordings (on various tuners):


I already asked dflachbart about this issue. However, I have the feeling he's still recovering from his SageMC burnout; and, would prefer to keep support for this addon extremely limited. I have a feeling that nobody has gotten this to work completely on a setup with several tuners; especially, since there's no official thread for this plugin.

What is the other recording that shows it? I see the one that shows it is a 3 letter channel name. Maybe there isn't enough room to show it with a 6 letter channel. Don't know. I installed it on a PC client and I don't see any encoder numbers.

Thanks Gary, here is the second screenshot. Whatever it is, I have a feeling this affects everyone the same way:

Gary, were you able to get this feature to work? Any idea what might be different? I even went to the extent of reducing the font size of the text displayed: gFontSizeGeneral=14. Even when there's more room, the encoder icon isn't displayed. You can see the newly downloaded encoder icons under your STV\SageTV7 folder; they are called EncoderMarker*.png.

It's Gerry.

And it didn't work at all on my client install. I'll double check again tonight since I had some new recordings.

Thanks Gerry. Sorry for the misspelling of your name. If you have any ideas why it's not working, please let me know.
